Michael Jackson-related scene cut from Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno

Sacha Baron Cohen’s new controversial movie “Bruno” made its premiere in LA last night, but with a part of the movie removed according to slashfilm.com. Apparently, a scene that was related to Michael Jackson was cut for screening, showing sensitivity at the news of Jackson’s death.

Although the scene in question doesn’t actually feature Michael Jackson himself, it does feature his sister LaToyah Jackson. It was said to have been where Bruno interviews LaToyah about her brother Michael and apparently scans through her phone to get his number.

Universal decided to cut the scene in respect to Michael and his family. Although the scene was cut just for now, there have been reports that it may not be reinstated for the movie’s wide release. I guess only time will tell. Have you seen the “Bruno” movie yet?
