Jaafar Jackson is all set to play his uncle Michael Jackson in the upcoming biopic by Antoine Fuqua. According to Variety, the tangled legacy of the guy who became known as the King of Pop will be portrayed in the biopic `Michael`. The film will examine every facet of his life, including "including his most iconic performances that led him to become the greatest entertainer of all time."
Variety reports that the Michael Jackson estate is collaborating with the movie, which might have an impact on how `Michael` portrays the numerous accusations of child sexual abuse that were made against Jackson both during his career and after his passing. Jackson had refuted the claims of sexually abusing children, and in 2003, a court ruled him not guilty of the charge. Jackson always maintained his innocence and passed away in 2009 at the age of 50, but the claims continue to cloud his legacy.
