Jaafar Jackson is opening up about plans for the Michael movie sequel and what fans can expect from the second film.
The 30-year-old entertainer is the actual nephew of late entertainer Michael Jackson and he portrayed his real-life uncle in the movie. The film was a massive success, grossing more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office, leading to the announcement of a sequel.
In a new interview with GQ Middle East, Jaafar noted that this is the only Michael movie to focus on the singer’s point of view.
“There’s been so many stories told about Michael from so many different people,” he said. “This is to tell Michael’s story finally from the point of view of himself… There’s so much more to Michael’s story. There’s so much to who Michael was and how he expressed himself.”
Michael 2 will address the allegations against the singer
Jaafar told the magazine, “I think the second film will give even more insight from his point of view, because at the end of the day, [the allegations] are always from someone else’s. It’s someone else’s story. It’s someone else’s idea of what it is, and it’s mainly driven by an agenda. And that’s really the issue we’ve been having as a family – not having Michael’s voice being heard. I think that’s very, very important, especially in the late years.”
GQ Middle East noted that Jaafar sounded like he was carefully choosing his words, but that his response didn’t feel rehearsed.
Jaafar Jackson makes more comments about Michael 2
Jaafar added, “This first film focuses on Michael from his roots. So you get that idea of who he was before he had all the success and became the icon that people are familiar with, you understand who he was as a human being first, because at the end of the day, that’s who he was in the ’90s until he passed. He never changed that purity, that sense of always wanting to find the good in other people. And no matter all the stuff he went through, how he was treated, what things were said about him, he never stopped treating people with kindness. He never stopped believing in and wanting to look for the good in people… even though he was broken, his heart still stayed the same… I hope that this is felt in the second movie.”
Janet Jackson might get her own biopic
Will Janet Jackson be in the sequel after being left out of the first film?
“I don’t want to speak too early, but Janet has ideas of maybe doing her own film. So having someone portrayed in this and then choosing a different actor for her own is just…” he said.
