Following the recent #OscarsSoWhite movement, the casting of Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson in a movie about 9/11 has got quite a lot of eyebrows raised.
Born to a black family, the King of Pop, died in 2009 at age 50 in controversial circumstances.
Jackson suffered from the skin condition- vitiligo, which started in the late ’80s. Investigators reportedly found 30 tubes of skin whitening cream at his home after his death.
The project has been filmed and is set to be released in the U.K. soon.
The film in question is based on a 2011 Vanity Fair article titled, “Liz Taylor, Michael Jackson, and Marlon Brando Star in…Escape from New York!”
