This Actor’s Makeup in an Upcoming Michael Jackson Movie is a Waking Nightmare

In the words of the King of Pop, this makeup is “Bad.”

The trailer for the new movie Urban Myths is out, and boy, does this look wierd. Aside from an amazing cast, a confusing premise, and a whole lot of makeup, this trailer also features our first look at the controversial portrayal of Michael Jackson by Joseph Fiennes, a white actor.

Urban Myths is a British made-for-TV movie that tells of a fabled road trip that Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, and Michael Jackson took right after 9/11. It also somehow features the portrayals of Cary Grant, Bob Dylan, Adolf Hitler, and “Hitler’s friend,” who is played by Rupert Grint. To be sure, this is a comedy. But more importantly, this makeup is so weird.

Dear god.

Help.
