Some people in Los Angeles did a double take on Friday, mistaking a familiar figure for the late “King of Pop,” Michael Jackson. However, it was actually Michael’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, who bore an uncanny resemblance to the iconic singer while on his way to shoot scenes for MJ’s upcoming biopic, “Michael.”

Jaafar Jackson’s Striking Resemblance to Michael Jackson

Jaafar Jackson’s striking resemblance to his uncle was evident as he appeared on the movie set, dressed in MJ’s famous red varsity jacket, standing next to a Tower Records pop-up shop and a prominent ad featuring the entertainer’s 1979 album, “Off The Wall.” The remarkable similarity between Jaafar and Michael Jackson was further highlighted by his hair, makeup, and attire, truly embodying the essence of the world-famous singer.

Notable Appearances on Set

Actress Nia Long, portraying Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson, was also spotted on set, alongside Jaafar. Additionally, Colman Domingo, who secured the role of MJ’s father, Joe Jackson, has been seen with the cast. However, despite the absence of Colman Domingo, the anticipation for the first full-length film about Michael Jackson’s life continues to build, with its scheduled release set for April 2025.
