Johnny Depp denies Jacko movie rumours

It was only a matter of time before the Michael Jackson biopic rumours started, and just this morning it was being widely hinted over the pond that both Jamie Foxx and Johnny Depp had been approached to play the part of Jacko. Jamie would depict the star during his younger years, while Johnny would take over the later, lighter-skinned stage of his life. Ridiculous, you say? Well, Johnny Depp feels the same way. Asked if he'd consider taking on the role of Jacko, the Public Enemies star replied, "No no no, I never ever thought of playing Michael Jackson in a film. I think if anyone should play Michael Jackson in a film it should’ve been Michael Jackson." We like his way of thinking. Jamie Foxx proved he could do a pretty good Moonwalk when he sang that recent tribute to MJ at the BET Awards, but he has yet to confirm or deny the rumours. Do you think a Jacko biopic is inevitable, and, if so, who do YOU think should take on the lead role?

Yeah it should be La Toya playing him. I think there's far too much bad stuff that's happened for them to make a film.

I'm struggling to think of anyone who could play him looks wise, while making the make up look realistic and not comic

Depp would definitely do it justice- remember people thought he based his Willy Wonka portrayal on Jacko, and I can see why.
