The first trailer for "Michael", the highly anticipated biopic about the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, starring Jaafar Jackson, has been released. According to the Argentine News Agency, the project is under the curation and production of Graham King, the man behind "Bohemian Rhapsody", the film inspired by Freddie Mercury's life. The choice of Jaafar Jackson for the lead role is not only due to his relationship, as Michael's nephew has proven to be up to the task by achieving an almost exact similarity in the singing and dancing of the late artist. The film will not only cover Michael's monumental hits but will also address the darkest moments of his life, such as legal battles and the major controversies that tarnished his career. In the trailer released this Wednesday, you can see a journey through his childhood and some moments before his great leap to fame, as well as key moments with his family. "I never dreamed of being an actor or even thought about playing him. But I knew it was a vocation," Jaafar expressed to the press. "To embody Michael, I had to earn the role and show the filmmakers that I was capable of becoming Michael. Essentially, it was about starting from the roots and finding authenticity".
