The first (rather bizarre) image of Fiennes in character as Jackson was released yesterday and it’s left the singer’s daughter Paris feeling sickened.
Joseph Fiennes’ casting as Michael Jackson in a new Sky Arts dramatisation received much backlash following its announcement last January, but now one member of the singer’s family has spoken out against the project.
“We were really looking for the performance that could unlock the spirit, and we really think Joe Fiennes has done that.
Jackson branded the project Urban Myths: A Brand New Collection of Comedies – from director Ben Palmer (The Inbetweeners Movie) – as “blatant disrespect,” expressing her anger via Twitter.
