Miles Teller Sets the Record Straight: Not Playing Michael Jackson in Biopic
Miles Teller clarifies that he is not portraying Michael Jackson in the upcoming biopic. In a podcast interview with Travis and Jason Kelce, Teller explains that he will be playing John Branca, Jackson's attorney, in the film, not the pop icon himself. The initial confusion arose from misleading headlines that suggested Teller would star as Michael Jackson, but he sets the record straight by showcasing his Jackson impression, emphasizing that he is not taking on the lead role. The movie's first trailer features Teller in character, sporting a black wig and suit at a conference table. Despite the mix-up, Teller is focused on his role as Branca and distances himself from the rumors of playing Michael Jackson.
