Jaafar Jackson transforms into his late uncle Michael Jackson and sports King of Pop's trademark military jacket while filming on set of upcoming biopic in downtown LA


Jaafar Jackson looked like the spitting image of his uncle Michael Jackson while filming the upcoming biopic Michael about the late musician on Saturday.

The 27-year-old actor was seen on set in downtown Los Angeles and dressed in a navy blue military jacket with gold details, inspired by the King of Pop's trademark style. The upcoming biopic, which is set to be released on April 18, 2025, costars Colman Domingo as Joe Jackson and Miles Teller as Michael's attorney and future estate executor John Branca. In March, Dan Reed, who directed the documentary Leaving Neverland about the child sexual abuse allegations that dogged Jackson, called the upcoming biopic 'startlingly disingenuous' after reading a draft of its screenplay.
