In Michael (2026), Jaafar Jackson spent two years transforming into Michael Jackson, turning Michael’s childhood home into a training space, studying old footage—especially the “Billie Jean” Motown 25 performance—and practicing nonstop until he matched his moves and precision.

“Billie Jean” is from Michael Jackson’s 1982 album Thriller, but the performance that permanently transformed the song into a cultural phenomenon came at the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television special, recorded on March 25, 1983. Michael, only 24 at the time, was initially reluctant to participate but eventually agreed after Motown founder Berry Gordy and the show's producers persuaded him to take part. He chose “Billie Jean” to showcase his new artistic identity rather than simply revisit the Jackson 5 material that had made him famous. Michael's performance combined precise choreography, his distinctive vocal style and a dazzling stage presence, culminating in his now-legendary moonwalk during the song's performance. The move itself had existed in various forms before Michael adopted it, but he had learned and refined his version with dancers including Jeffrey Daniel, turning it into one of the most recognizable dance moves in pop culture. When Motown 25 aired on May 16, 1983, it attracted more than 47 million viewers in the US.

this story gives me chills!!! 😭😭 Jaafar Jackson was enrolled in acting classes and the pre-requisite was that he remained anonymous so his classmates didn’t know he was a JACKSON and preparing to be Michael until the day he got casted.
