Jaafar Jackson

The late singer’s 27-year-old nephew Jaafar Jackson is set to play his uncle. After searching for someone to fit the part, King said, "It was clear that he is the only person to take on this role."

King added that he was "blown away by the way he organically personifies the spirit and personality of Michael” and was “beyond thrilled that he has come on board to portray his uncle and cannot wait for the world to see him on the big screen as Michael Jackson."

Though Michael will mark his acting debut, Jaafar is no stranger to the entertainment industry.

Jaafar has been singing and dancing since age 12, according to Deadline, and previously appeared in several family-oriented projects over the years, including 2015's The Jacksons: Next Generation and Tito Jackson's 2021 music video "Love One Another."
