Yeah i'm hoping they don't play his looks that extreme but i think in this day and age any major skin changes they potray will get eaten alive by the world so i assume they'll play it safe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reginald 13,835 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Not everyone naming actresses I would say Ezra Miller kind of looks like him. But, also, I feel like someone black should obviously be cast as MJ. Tough role to fill! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiendman 237 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Logistically, there's no way they could portray the way Michael's appearance changed over the years without sparking public outrage. Casting a white actor is out of the question of course, but by the same ticket, it would be insensitive to Michael's memory and for people with vitiligo to use makeup to replicate his changing complexion. The only way I can see it working is if they focus on his early life, up to his success with Thriller, and him announcing that he was leaving the Jackson 5, bringing us up to the BAD era. The movie will probably catch a lot of controversy regardless, so it's a bit of a minefield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda disagree. Hollywood uses makeup all the time to imitate skin conditions and the like buy bionic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood uses makeup all the time to imitate skin conditions and the like For a role as iconic as Michael, who had a condition like vitiligo, I feel like that's not going to fly. But just because I don't think it'll work doesn't mean they won't try - who knows, it could work out well for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
