Wesley Snipes:'Michael Jackson wasn't an angel'

Wesley Snipes talks candidly about his tax evasion in the April 2010 issue of GQ (with Shia LaBeouf on the cover).

The 47-year-old actor — who was convicted of willfully failing to file tax returns — is facing up to three years of jail time. How will he deal with it?

“With the grace of God,” he tells GQ correspondent Chris Heath. “Quickly, soundly, with health and knowledge that these things, too, shall pass.… And I’ll still have my talent. And hopefully I’ll still have my mind. I can deal with it.”

Wesley also opens up about some of the most significant and memorable moments of his life, from growing up in the Bronx to his friendship with Michael Jackson: “We were sent an angel. Not that he was an angel, but we were sent an angel. To heal, to inspire, to evoke thoughts of beauty and love in this world of chaos. And we didn’t take good care of it.”
