BLACK OR WHITE

Some people were infuriated by the news that white actor is to play Michael Jackson in the British TV movie “Elizabeth, Michael and Marlon.” But the “Shakespeare in Love” actor (above) tells Confidenti@l that he’s just happy that it got people talking. ”I thought it might grab attention,” he told us, “and it’s good it provokes a conversation and there’s an interesting conversation to be had out of that.” He hopes the movie itself will be even more stimulating. “Let’s see when it opens and take the conversation on from there,” he added.
