Michael Jackson biopic: King Of Pop's nephew Jaafar Jackson is spitting image of dancing superstar in first official photo from set


Michael Jackson's nephew Jaafar Jackson was the spitting image of the King of Pop in a first official snap from new biopic Michael.

Logan, 62, has a long proven track record as a playwright and filmmaker, writing or co-writing the likes of Gladiator (2000), The Aviator (2004), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2007), Hugo (2011) and the James Bond 007 films Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015). From the looks of his Instagram photo post in January 2023 after he landed the role of his late uncle, Jaafar, who is one of Jermaine Jackson's seven children, could be seen in a dance studio working on moves made famous by MJ for at least the last year. With 32 million copies sold worldwide by the end of 1983, Jackson's Thriller had the distinction of being the best-selling studio album of all time, and was ratified by Guinness World Records on February 7, 1984.
