This caused some controversy when it was first announced last year. Joseph Fiennes, a great actor, was signed up to play Michael Jackson! The general reaction was that this was not ok!

Fiennes is playing the King Of Pop in a new comedy Urban Myths.

The show brings to life urban myths around many famous people and the Jackson part focuses on a supposed post 9-11 road trip with Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando.

In the trailor that was recently released we get a glimpse of a heavily made up Fiennes as Jackson.

He is essentially black facing, comedy or not, this needs serious discussion. Watch the trailer and let us know what you think….
