Joseph Fiennes says "people are absolutely right to be upset" that he played Michael Jackson for a British comedy sketch in 2016.

For the series Urban Myths, the white British actor donned dark aviator sunglasses, a black fedora and light foundation to match the singer's vitiligo-impacted complexion.
