Did anyone know that MJ 'lobbied hard for the part of Edward Scissorhands but was unsuccessful'. Wikipedia. Interesting.

THEY lobbied for HIM, not the other way around. Burton would have loved it , but there were  lot of complications that, sadly.made it impossible. When did that get added to Wiki????? It was never public knowledge. I'm glad it is now though....G xx

I was just quoting from Wikipedia. From what i understand, this is not new news, i just happened to come across it because i was reading about Edward Scissorhands. I discovered it incidentally. As for when it was added to Wiki, it was reported on in 1990 that 'Michael Jackson was eager to play the role but wasn't offered it' - You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login My guess is that MJ wasn't offered the part because he was too much of a superstar to assume the identity of another character. Perhaps they were worried that audiences wouldn't be able to believe and 'get into' the character because MJ has such a strong public identity of his own.

So what complications do you know of Gabriel?

Wiki is so busy lately, lots of interesting info added on some pages.
May the truth be spread G, either through Wiki, YouTube or other channels, as long as it's out there...S xx

nothing more than the fact that MJ expressed strong interest in playing the role of Edward Scissorhands and he was unsuccessful.
