Michael Jackson’s Nephew Jaafar In Full Costume As King of Pop On Biopic Set

Here is Michael Jackson‘s nephew Jaafar Jackson all set to painting the King of Pop on the set of the upcoming MJ biopic — and we gotta say, he is the spitting picture of his late uncle.

Jaafar was in full hair, make-up and costume Thursday on location within the Encino space of Los Angeles, the place cameras had been rolling for “Michael” … the primary official movie to deal with the MJ’s life on the large display.

JJ is Jermaine Jackson‘s son, BTW, and he appears to be like eerily just like his well-known relative right here.

Lionsgate, the studio behind the upcoming biopic, dropped the primary take a look at Jackson as MJ earlier this week … a photograph replicating Michael’s 1992-1993 Harmful Tour. In that promo pic, too, Jaafar was critically channeling MJ … passing as a lifeless ringer for the entertainer.

Now, we’re getting a barely completely different view of Jaafar as Michael … this time, he is a bit extra formal with a white button-down shirt and a tie — and we will actually see how he appears to be like.

Nia Long joined Jaafar on set right here on Thursday … bear in mind, she’s playing Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson. She’s additionally absolutely remodeled — and fairly unrecognizable.

All of them had been absolutely immersed of their roles, and seemed nice.

Jaafar, in fact, is the star … and from the appears to be like of it, he has develop into Michael Jackson.

The highly-anticipated biopic will not hit theaters till April 2025 … and every thing we have seen up to now appears to be hitting the mark, at the least visually.
