Jackie Jackson Is Proud Of his Nephew Jafar Jackson for Upcoming Lead Role In Movie Titled Michael
Michael Jackson’s elder brother, Jackie Jackson, is a singer better known as the founder and member of Jackson 5. Jafar Jackson, his nephew, is a singer, dancer, and actor who will be portraying Michael Jackson in the upcoming biopic Michael.
Jafar Jackson was born on July 25, 1996, in Los Angeles, California, U.S., to Jermaine Jackson and Alejandra Genevieve.
Being from a singing and dancing musical background, his main recognition comes from his featuring in The Jacksons: Next Generation.
With the Jackson family’s history in music, Jafar is also introducing acting skills, marking a new chapter for the Jacksons.
Jafar Jackson is set to play the role of Michael Jackson Seems Overwhelming Challenge
Jafar is also the nephew of the pop king Michael Jackson and his brother Jackie Jackson.
He is also a singer and released his first single, “Got Me Singing,” in 2019, which resembles a modern version of Michael Jackson’s style.
The upcoming musical drama Michael, directed by Antoine Fuqua, explores the life of American singer Michael Jackson.
Jafar playing the role of Michael Jackson, seems well-suited for the part due to his direct connection.
He also got a big shoutout from his Uncle Jacki Jackson for the upcoming movie through Facebook writing
Proud of my nephew @jaafarjackson who will be starring as @michaeljackson in @gkfilms @antoinefuqua’s upcoming biopic titled “Michael”, coming to theaters!
Assuming the picture, we can assume that Jafar is working hard for this movie as he has shaped himself similarly to Michael Jackson.
However, dancing like the legend may be quite a challenge for him, as Michael Jackson’s steps were not easy.
Meanwhile, the release date of the movie is uncertain but is expected to be around April 2025.
