Six years ago, an episode of 'Urban Myths' was pulled after Joseph Fiennes’ portrayal of Michael Jackson was deemed inappropriate and disrespectful by the late musician’s fans and family. Now, he finally sees where they were coming from.
“I think people are absolutely right to be upset,” Fiennes said. “And it was a wrong decision. Absolutely. And I’m one part of that — there are producers, broadcasters, writers, directors, all involved in these decisions. But obviously if I’m upfront, I have become the voice for other people. I would love them to be around the table as well to talk about it.
But you know, it came at a time where there was a movement and a shift and that was good, and it was, you know, a bad call. A bad mistake.”toys with facts and inaccuracies to parody supposed historical events. This episode in particular was titled “Elizabeth, Michael and Marlon” and attempted to deliver a fictional reimagining of the urban legend about Jackson’s post-9/11 road trip from New York to Los Angeles with Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor.
