Rupert Everett Says Michael Jackson was a 'Freak' and Better Off Dead

Rupert Everett is speaking ill of the dead. He tells the British press Michael Jackson was a "freak" who's better off dead. The actor has always been very out-spoken, talking about his drug-fueled days as a male prostitute and bashing other gay men for wanting to become parents.

In an interview with Daily Mail newspaper, Rupert says:

I think it was fortuitous that he died....He was a freak. He looked like a character from Shrek. He was a black to white minstrel. He was crucified by that court case when he was accused of child molestation – that killed him. He personified the pain and anxiety of a black man in a slave country. We all watched as he changed from black to white. He was living performance art. "We’re living in very strange times. We have Michael Jackson, a black man who has gone white, and we have President Barack Obama, who is a half white man gone black. It’s absolutely fascinating to watch."
