Hold onto your sequined gloves because Jackson’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, is stepping into the spotlight as the “King of Pop” himself! And let me tell you, the resemblance is so uncanny, it’s like looking at a moonwalking mirror. Picture this: Jaafar belting out “Man in the Mirror” from the iconic 1992-93 Dangerous World Tour.
Director Antoine Fuqua couldn’t contain his excitement, raving about the spiritual connection he felt the moment he met Jaafar. He went on and on about Jaafar’s natural ability to channel Michael and his magnetic chemistry with the camera. Talk about hitting the jack-son-pot! Fuqua even mentioned that during the casting search, they scoured the globe far and wide, but in the end, there was only one crotch grabber who could do justice to the role. I would sum up Jaffer as the only person that I am aware of that could wear the diamond studded glove without looking like a complete knob.
So get on the blower with your friend Billy and your Sister Jean because Jaafar Jackson is about to take us on a Neverland ride through the life and legacy of the one and only King of Pop. Let’s beat it to the theaters in 2025!
