'Bruno': Michael Jackson-related scene permanently cut from film

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on June 29, 2009 at 9:11am

A scene in the upcoming comedy Bruno featuring Michael Jackson's sister La Toya has been permanently deleted from the film. In a statement, Universal, the studio behind the movie, says, "Out of respect for the Jackson family, the filmmakers have decided to remove a small scene involving La Toya Jackson." Bruno opens on July 10. After Michael Jackson's death was reported yesterday, actor Sacha Baron Cohen and the makers Bruno scrambled to delete the scene just before the film's premiere at Mann's Chinese Theater in Los Angeles. The scene, which had previously been seen by journalists, found Baron Cohen's Bruno -- a wildly gay, fame-seeking Austrian fashionista -- snagging an interview with La Toya. Ms. Jackson, who did not appear to be in on the joke, gamely tried to answer Bruno's questions even as he interrogated her about her brother Michael and tried surreptitiously to find Michael's number on her cellphone. The scene ended, as most things in Bruno's world do, with a moment of raw, funny discomfort. Source : Entertainment Weekly
