It’s been well over six years since Joseph Fiennes appeared as Michael Jackson in a controversial never-to-be-air episode of the British fantasy series Urban Myths, and he still has regrets
, and he still has regrets.“Absolutely,” Fiennes said. “And I’m one part of that — there are producers, broadcasters, writers, directors, all involved in these decisions. 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.”The actor added that people were “absolutely right to be upset.”
In the never-aired episode, Fiennes played Michael Jackson to Brian Cox’s Marlon Brando and Stockard Channing’s Elizabeth Taylor. The surreal storyline had the trio of friends on a road trip from New York to Los Angeles in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. At the time, Jackson’s daughter Paris expressed her displeasure. “I’m so incredibly offended by it,” she tweeted, “as I’m sure plenty of people are as well, and it honestly makes me want to vomit.”
