Bonaduce Recalls Michael Jackson's Shocking Schoolyard Secret
1 Jun
Summary
- Bonaduce and Jackson were classmates at a school for young performers.
- Jackson cited 'constant remembrance of God' for his quiet nature.
- Bonaduce later reconnected with Jackson, accepting an invitation to his home.
Danny Bonaduce, a former child star, has recounted a unique firsthand experience with Michael Jackson from their shared time as young performers. The two first met on the Columbia lot and later reconnected at Cal Prep, a school catering to working child actors.
By the time they were classmates, Jackson was already achieving significant stardom with the Jackson 5. Bonaduce observed that his classmate operated on a different level, recalling Jackson's profound reply when asked about his quiet nature.
Bonaduce asked Jackson why he never spoke, to which the young entertainer responded, "Because I'm in constant remembrance of God." This response left an impression on Bonaduce, who humorously recalled the brief interaction ending when he inquired about "chicks."
Years later, Bonaduce and Jackson reconnected, with Jackson extending an invitation for Bonaduce and his children to visit his home. This personal anecdote adds to recent portrayals emphasizing Jackson's humanity, as seen in the biopic 'Michael,' which aimed to capture his true essence.
