Michael's life was better than the rest of his siblings. At 5 they already becoming famous so money flowed in at an early age for him which took them out of poverty ( finally )

So is Brian cox as Brando

They did him wrong, he looks like he has no nostrils and no upper lip.

well, they tried to stay true to the source material

[@KenpachiFN]

Yeah how dare they use a white man to portray a black man whos whiter than white people. They should have had Will Smith play him because hes black too.

True or not, I have to admit I'm a bit begrudged that we were robbed of the opportunity to see Stockard Channing and Brian Cox in these roles. Their transformations into Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando is stunning.

[@nemome5837]

Come on. The actor had exactly the same complexion. If a black guy had played him, he would have needed to white up.

[@danielapina6067]

That would be better, because Michael then turned white but he's black, idk if you get me. So I think making a black actor play him, even if he had to have tons of white makeup, would be better

They could just use Navi..

[@shaniceturner7640]

I don't blame Paris.

[@Merdicano]

Well, I support Paris decision in boycotting that episode because man, I had no idea that it was gonna look THIS BAD, like bad levels of cheap makeup and photography, Joseph Fiennes looks awful in that makeup, there's no way in hell that he has the same complexities as Michael, just absolutely in zero, there's literally nothing funny about this thing at all, its just borderline offensive, we're talking about a white man playing a black man that suffered a severe skin disorder, Joseph Fiennes is not black; with all due respect to that show's creators, but good riddance, that would teach them how to handle sensitive material like this one properly

[@undead.rising]

Okay - Joseph Fiennes is a questionable choice for portraying MJ, but Stockhard Channing as Liz Taylor is on point!

[@DINOLOVER6717]

[@bassnazi4713]

Miss Tonya c007 exactly, people parody famous people all the time. South Park still had Jackson saying "Bubbles" and giggling. Fiennes is a great actor and along with another in Brian Cox as Brando this could have been really good. Sometimes the choice is made to make it appear outlandish just to remind people, it's comedy.

[@skvnk7]

First of all in a interview he said he didn’t want a white person to be him in a movie

[@maninedoow5895]

Ok, I understand the outcry, because Michael is a black man. BUT Michael had vitiligo which changed his skin tone. If this was a black man playing Michael, IN THE PARTICULAR ERA WHICH WAS 2001, then everyone would be saying shouldn’t he be “white”? Also, it would be a bit better if it was a biracial person who could pass for white to play MJ or someone of color but a lighter complexion. Like the one actor who played in MJ’s bodyguard biopic. And the dude’s name is FE-ENN-ES NOT FINES.😂😭🙄

[@lordwetcardboard]

if you actually think about it, Michael Jackson if a really hard character to cast. his appearance was pretty unique due to all the plastic surgery he got done, and he changed his race (kind of) with plastic surgery. I'm not sure what people were expecting

[@23bitchris60]

He didn't change his color of skin, moron he had vitiligo. He tried to hide it by putting in makeup but the white spots had gotten too large so he bleached the remaining black skin.
