Michael Jackson’s Nephew Stars in New Movie Trailer
Michael Jackson's nephew, Jaafar Jackson, bears a strong resemblance to his late uncle in the first official trailer for the upcoming film about the Pop King's life. The 29-year-old actor portrays Michael Jackson, the iconic singer who passed away in 2009 at the age of 50 and left a lasting impact on the music world with hits like Billie Jean and Beat It.
About the Film
Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the movie titled Michael faced multiple delays but is now scheduled for release on April 24 next year. The teaser opens with Jaafar playing a young Michael inside a studio, accompanied by a voiceover saying:
"I know you have been waiting a long time for this. Let's take it from the top."
The background music features Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', setting the tone for the trailer. It then shifts to a sold-out stadium scene where Jaafar dons one of Michael’s iconic looks, although his face remains partially hidden.
Voiceover and Visuals
The voiceover continues with:
"This is your story."
Meanwhile, visuals include lyrics and titles from some of Michael Jackson’s famous songs displayed on a board, hinting at the film's tribute to the singer’s legendary career.
Jaafar Jackson’s striking likeness to his uncle and his role in this long-awaited film promise an authentic portrayal of the King of Pop’s remarkable life.
