00:00Stephanie, let's have a look. We just saw the trailer. Looks pretty impressive.
00:04But tell us about the actor who plays Michael Jackson and, of course, his connection to the superstar.
00:11Well, Leanne, we're always talking about Nepo babies and Jafar Jackson is well connected to Michael Jackson.
00:18He's actually the nephew of the late star and his father is Jermaine Jackson, who, of course, is Michael Jackson's
00:25brother.
00:25So for this big biopic, he is making his acting debut since it was announced in 2023.
00:32He's been training. He's been training to portray his famous uncle on stage.
00:38And from what we can see, he has this very uncanny looked like his uncle.
00:43He looks like him. He sounds like him, as we can see from the trailer.
00:47And he sounds like him. And, you know, in the trailer, we see him with Michael's iconic monkey bubbles.
00:53And to be honest, I think Jafar has been quite lucky because usually in these big Hollywood films, they will
00:59get an actor who's not related to the person.
01:02And the person has to go through a lot of in-depth research.
01:05But for him, he's been lucky because, of course, he grew up with his uncle and with his uncle.
01:10And he's got further information from the family, the Jackson family, who, of course, is his family.
01:15And he's got further information from the family.
01:15And he's got further information from the family.
