John Branca Praises Miles Teller's Performance in 'Michael' Jackson Biopic
John Branca, Michael Jackson's former entertainment lawyer, praised actor Miles Teller for playing him in the new 'Michael' biopic. Branca called Teller a great actor and said he loved his performance in the film.
John Branca couldn't hide his excitement about Miles Teller's performance in the new Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael.' Speaking to reporters in Los Angeles on Monday, Branca called Teller a great actor and gushed over how he was portrayed in the film.
Branca served as Michael Jackson's entertainment lawyer and became instrumental in managing the pop star's career and business deals. In the movie, the 39-year-old Teller transforms into the lawyer who played a key role in Jackson's life.
What makes Branca's praise especially notable is that he also produced the film himself. This means he had control over how his own story was told and chose Teller for the role.
The biopic has faced some controversy during production. Early script versions reportedly portrayed Jackson as a victim when child assault accusations emerged, but the final film ends before those allegations became public.
This shows rare approval from a real person about how they're portrayed in a Hollywood movie. The Michael Jackson biopic is one of the most anticipated music films, and having key figures support it could boost its credibility with fans.
The 'Michael' biopic is expected to hit theaters in 2026, with more promotional events likely as release approaches.
