Harry Potter’s Chris Columbus Apologizes For Jacko Comment
“Harry Potter” director Chris Columbus apologized for his televised comments about Michael Jackson where he said he would not let his movie’s star Daniel Radcliffe take any telephone calls from Jackson, who has been dogged by child molestation rumors. Said Columbus, “I don’t want Jackson to think I’m slamming him. What I meant by that is you don’t want Daniel to get caught up in the cult of celebrity. Just because you’re in a movie doesn’t mean that all other celebrities are your best friends.”
