Nephew of Michael Jackson, Jaafar Jackson, stars as the King of Pop in the biopic “Michael”. The first image from the film features Jaafar as Michael, performing ‘Man in the Mirror’. Producers and director praised Jaafar’s embodiment of Michael’s spirit. The musical drama is set to release in April 2025.
The picture, captured by celebrity photographer Kevin Mazur, who clicked the late artist Michael Jackson in his 1980s and ’90s tours and rehearsals of ‘This Is It’ concerts, sees Jaafar as the King of Pop, performing ‘Man in the Mirror’, from Dangerous World Tour.
Meanwhile, Fuqua added, “We have assembled an incredible team of artists for this project – hair & makeup, costumes, cinematography, choreography, lighting, everything – and some who knew and worked with Michael are reuniting for this film. But most importantly, it’s Jaafar who embodies Michael.”
“It goes beyond the physical resemblance. It’s Michael’s spirit that comes through in a magical way. You have to experience it to believe it,” explained the director.
Apart from Jaafar, ‘Michael’, co-produced by King with John Branca and John McClain, also features Colman Domingo, Nia Long and Miles Teller.
