No, your eyes don’t deceive you. Mexican actor Diego Luna is slated to play a young Michael Jackson in a new film directed by Harmony Korine called “Mister Lonely”, according to Univision.com:

It sounds incredible but it’s true: according to the Reforma newspaper, Diego Luna will play the role of Michael Jackson during his youth, though we don’t have a clue as to how he will do it. Presumably it wil be in the time after he started lightening his skin.

The premise of the film? Not easily explained, but according to Univision.com:

According to reports from the European daily Screen, Diego Luna’s character meets Marilyn Monroe (Samantha Morton) in Paris and follows her to a commune in Scotland, where they both meet Charlie Chaplin and Shirley Temple. The action eventually move to Brazil, where some missionaries get wrapped up in the comedy.

Put down the crack pipe.
