“It's uncanny how much he's like Michael. Sounds like him, dances like him, sings. It's really uncanny. Graham King, who is a fantastic producer, found him, and introduced him to me, and I was blown away,” said the director in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
Though, when it comes to updates on the release of the biopic, it remains on hold due to the writers and actors' strikes. To add to that, are the comments and critiques about the “glorifying” of Michael Jackson's alleged child sexual abuse in 2005.
The film “Michael” is set to explore the life and career of the iconic pop star, delving into the highs and lows of his journey to superstardom and his impact on the music industry. With Jaafar's deep familial ties and undeniable physical resemblance, his portrayal of Michael Jackson promises to be a poignant tribute to the late legend.
