Following a ‘worldwide search’ to find the perfect actor to play Michael Jackson in a forthcoming biopic, it turns out the ideal candidate was right under the producers’ noses the whole time.
Jaafar Jackson, Michael’s 26-year-old nephew, will take on the role – with the late superstar’s mother Katherine stating, “Jaafar embodies my son. It’s so wonderful to see him carry on the Jackson legacy of entertainers and performers.”
