Wannabe, make no mistake, the white racist media would have been the first to jump on it if JD played MJ. Look out the tried to make an issue out of MJ and Ebony. They would not miss this for the world. They are enough black people who have issues with MJ's skin turning white to make it an issue and we only need enough encouragement from the press for them to make it so. I can guarantee that Al Sharpton would have something to say about it too.:lol:Well Michael was gonna play Edgar Allen Poe, remember? He's a black man and he was going to play a white man. I don't recall many people making such a big deal out of that. Of coure, it never happened, but its the same situation, no different.
Anyway, Johnny Depp is a very good actor, but it sounds like it was just a misunderstanding anyway.
Michael Jackson may look white, but Michael is a black man. There are plenty of light skinned black dudes out there that can play Mike with makeup. I like Johnny, but I'm not keen on him playing Mike.
Seems like to me he also based Edward Scissorhands on MJ, but that's cool. I have no problem with him basing his characters on Michael--but Mike is black. That's just like saying he should have played Ray Charles imo.
I don't think that Michael would let Johnny Depp play him in a movie
Michael - ''Why would i let a white person play me in a movie?'' ''I am a black american, i am proud of my race, i am proud of who i am'' - Quote from the opra interview in 93 (I can't remember the exact quote but it was something to that effect)
Depp playing MJ is a freakin' Joke.. ALMOST as Bad as the 'man in the mirror movie' which I found was so stupid I could not really get mad at it.. I found it almost like an long SNL skit.
Now Johnny Depp playing MJ would be rediculous.. They might as well do the cast like this if they would play around with Depp..
Michael Jackson - Jonnny Depp
Janet Jackson - Oprah
Katherine - Lil Kim
Latoya - Paula Abdul
Jermaine - Will Smith
Randy - Randy (american Idol)
Tito - Akon
Rebbie - Tyra Banls
Marlon - Will.i.am
Jackie - Martin Lawrance
good cast??? lol!
and besides what MJ said in the Oprah interview (which i loooove), johnny can't dance like mj.....and it just isn't realistic I love MJ tooooo much to see his life story be turned into a scandal, and for Johnny to play him like the crazy pirate or crazy willy wonka, cause he doesn't understand him :sad: Plus, like said before- I wouldn't trust Hollywood to do that!!!
I agree. I find it a bit distrubing when some fans actually want Johnny to play MJ in a movie knowing that Johnny is white and MJ is black.
But I wanted to play Michael Jackson :rantingamn that Johmmy Depp ... always blocking my ish, damn him to hell
^ :rofl: ChiChi :lol:
.... well if that's the case... someone should tell Cate Blanchett to sit back down and not accept all them Golden globe and other award nominations for her recent portrayal of Bob Dylan.... I mean come on... she's a woman playing a man!! at the end of the day brilliant actors make you forget who you're watching anyway they used a handful of people to play Bob Dylan in different stages in his life... what's to stop them from using Johnny Depp for one stage of MJ's life? if they were to film his life story? :brow:
sounds like a lot of drama in here for nothing :rofl:

I adore Johnny, a lot, very cool dude, but he should not play MJ. I do not want MJ to made fun of or a mockery. He can based his characters on Michael, but playing him, heck no.
If someone should play MJ I think it should be ECas. He looks just like MJ. Just saying.
I know some people were going to mention that MJ was going to play a white man, Edgar Allen Poe, in a movie, but I am actually glad that did not happen. MJ should be playing Little Richard in a movie instead of some white guy who wrote poetry that I find boring. That is no disrespect to anyone on here wholikes Edgar Allen Poe.
