Johnny Depp to play Michael Jackson?
Johnny Depp has revealed that he wants to play Michael Jackson in a movie about the troubled singer’s life.
Depp was rumored to have modeled himself off of Jackson for his role as Willy Wonka in the 2005 movie ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.’ But he has dismissed that assertion:
“A few people have mentioned it, and it kind of took me by surprise. I really didn’t expect that, Michael Jackson was not a sort of ingredient or inspiration for the character at all.”
However, he would love to take on the role of the pedophile, insisting, “There is still time to play him.”

you can’t refer to him as a peophile you idiot. the justice system says he is INNOCENT.
anyone who knows anything about that case knows he was not guilty. if you just read the tabloids and not think for yourself though, you’d believe all kinds of shit

Actually,I think it wouldn’t be difficult to play the role as white MJ.But if he has to play the black version you really have to use an other actor to play the black version.
Excpeccialy the macaber smile of Willy Wonka is parallel with the MJ-smile.

I think this would be great. Johnny is a fabulous actor, and has these eccentric roles down to a tee. With the right script Johnny could bring the character of Michael Jackson to life, and I would pay to see it. I think Michael would like Johnny to play him too - I could imagine Michael likes those eccentric characters Johnny plays, and Michael would be a perfect person for Johnny to play.
To the person who said “do you know Michael is African American?”… yes, we all know he is African American - but why should that matter? Johnny Depp is one of those actors, who can portray a character with a certain emotion and likability that people would never expect to have for such characters. Regarding Michaels race and appearance, I would imagine Johnny wouldn’t be putting on a jheri curl wig, and tanning his skin up. I think it would something more along the lines of character reflection and soul searching, more so than his appearance. Michaels appearance would have to come into play since it is a big part of his story, but it wouldn’t entirely be racial. Theres more to Michael than “black or white”.
Johnny Depp would do Michael justice
