Jaafar Jackson, Michael Jackson’s nephew who succeeds in his first movie: “I tried to show his humanity”
He just turned 30 years old and Jaafar Jackson couldn’t be celebrating them at a better personal moment. His first film, Michael, has become the highest-grossing biographical movie in history, having grossed to date 991 million dollars, far ahead of what Oppenheimer brought Universal. And although the critics were not exactly generous with the film directed by Antoine Fuqua and co-produced by Michael Jackson’s own family, the extraordinary work he has done to become who his uncle was in real life promises to give him a place in the Oscar race.
