It’s a movie starring his nephew in the lead role, approved by his estate, and by all accounts it just feels like an attempt to whitewash him. This is a man who was accused of being a serial child molester, settled with a family out of court for $25 million just to avoid a trial (Chandler), and openly admitted he slept in the same bed as kids while he was an adult (Bashir interview), among other things. I don’t really see what there is to debate.
Anything pointing this out gets backlash on movie-related subreddits, which I find wild. It makes me wonder, if Epstein could sing and dance, would he have gotten a biopic too? Would people be defending him like this?
I’ve heard there’s also a conspiracy theory out there that Michael Jackson was either chemically or physically castrated to maintain his singing voice.
If that happened early on in his life, that could actually explain some of the pathology behind what made him him.
Nope, other famous people have heard his real voice, such is apparently surprisingly deep
MJ sounding like James Earl Jones off camera would be… it’d be something.
