People Are NOT Happy About the First Footage of Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson
When Joseph Fiennes was cast as Michael Jackson in the British TV series Urban Myths, people were…confused. Now, footage from the show has been released and people have a lot of feelings to say the least. Mostly, they’re not good feelings. Paris Jackson, Michael’s daughter took to Twitter to say she is “offended” and it makes her “want to vomit.”
The real Michael Jackson:
@TheMJCast i'm so incredibly offended by it, as i'm sure plenty of people are as well, and it honestly makes me want to vomit.

I hope the people behind this film, especially Joseph Fiennes, understand what they are doing and if we can somehow boycott it, even better!

They have Joseph Fiennes playing Michael Jackson. Maybe Tom Hanks will play Berry Gordy in the next Motown movie.
