He then criticized the superstar's appearance, saying, "He looked like a character from 'Shrek'. He was a black to white minstrel."
Rupert, who is famous for his role in "My Best Friend's Wedding", additionally related Michael's death with his child molestation case. "He [Michael Jackson] was crucified by that court case when he was accused of child molestation - that killed him," the British star claimed.
