Joseph Fiennes expresses regret over his decision to play Michael Jackson in a pulled 2017 episode of Sky Arts’ anthology series 'Urban Myths.'
in a pulled 2017 episode of Sky Arts’ anthology series “Urban Myths.”
Sky pulled the episode before its intended broadcast. The company said in a statement at the time: “We have taken the decision not to broadcast ‘Elizabeth, Michael and Marlon,’ a half-hour episode from the Sky Arts ‘Urban Myths’ series, in light of the concerns expressed by Michael Jackson’s immediate family. We set out to take a lighthearted look at reportedly true events and never intended to cause any offense.
Fiennes originally defended his casting, saying Jackson “definitely had an issue–a pigmentation issue–and that’s something I do believe. He was probably closer to my color than his original color.”
