The 'Mordecai' actor suits up and wears blonde wig as the real estate mogul-turned-politician in a sketch narrated by Ron Howard.

AceShowbiz - A "long-lost biopic" of real estate magnate Donald Trump has resurfaced, thanks to Funny or Die. Narrated by Ron Howard, the nearly-hour fake TV-movie stars Johnny Depp as the business mogul and Michaela Watkins as his trophy wife Melania Trump.

Released hot on heels of the Republican presidential candidate's win in New Hampshire, the sketch is named "The Art of the Deal" after Trump's real-life book in 1987. Depp does a spot-on impression of the businessman-turned-politician complete with his "dynamite hair."

"Thought to be lost in the Cybill Shepherd blouse fire 1989, the Art of the Deal was a TV movie, based on the best selling Donald Trump autobiography of the same name," Howard says. "In fact, it was written, directed, and stars Donald Trump himself."

"But the Art of the Deal was almost never seen. It was preempted by Monday Night Football in 1988. Crappy game too. Colts versus Browns. Every score was a safety. Browns won 4 to 2. Trump was furious, and vowed never to air his masterpiece."

"He disappeared for decades until last summer when it turned up at a yard sale outside Phoenix, Arizona," Howard continues. "I had to physically wrestle it from a nice woman named Jenny. Much stronger than she looked. Very persistent."

"I'm not proud of what happened, but what's done is done. It's mine now. So tonight, this classic portrait of a New York real estate mogul at the height of his reign, made by the man himself will be shown in its entirety for the very first time."
