LeVar Burton Earring, New Looks ... Caused Clashes at 'Reading Rainbow'
LeVar Burton's time hosting "Reading Rainbow" wasn't all rainbows and butterflies -- as it turns out, he actually clashed with producers ... all 'cause he was a hip and stylish dude!
The actor opens up about this in "Butterfly in the Sky" -- a new documentary about the beloved children's program that he hosted in the '80s, '90s and 2000s ... revealing some of the most iconic parts of his appearance back then actually pissed off the creative team.
As detailed by People, LeVar refused to dress or present himself in a way that felt inauthentic. As a result ... he says he'd clash with showrunners and people behind the scenes -- who apparently gave him a hard time over fashion choices, like his famous earring.
