Nephew Jaafar Jackson Stars in MJ Biopic
27 Apr
Summary
- Jaafar Jackson, Michael Jackson's nephew, plays the lead role.
- The biopic 'Michael' features several Jackson family members involved.
- Many roles are played by professional actors outside the family.

The new biopic, 'Michael,' which explores the life of the King of Pop, stars Jaafar Jackson as the iconic performer. This marks Jaafar's first acting role, a significant undertaking given he is Michael Jackson's nephew through his father, Jermaine Jackson.
The film appears to be a Jackson family endeavor, with numerous relatives serving as executive producers. This includes Michael's son, Prince Jackson, and Jaafar's father, Jermaine Jackson. Several original Jackson Five members, such as Jackie, Marlon, La Toya, and Tito Jackson, are also involved. However, not all family members were deeply immersed in the production; Paris Jackson, Michael's daughter, indicated she only reviewed an early screenplay draft.
