           The late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, will be portrayed by the actor, Joseph Fiennes, in a new film called Urban Myths. This has caused controversy because it is a white actor playing a black man. Back in 1993 in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Jackson said it would be horrifying for a white man to play him in any production. According to an article, Jackson was born black, so although his skin transformed to a lighter complexion, Fiennes can not capture Jackson's blackness in this film. Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson is offended by this decision.
