Jaafar Jackson and the Cast on What Made Michael Jackson the King of Pop

In this interview, I sit down with Jaafar Jackson, Juliano Valdi, Colman Domingo, and Nia Long to talk about the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, Michael. We get into what made Michael Jackson the King of Pop and what it was like for each of them stepping into such iconic roles. Jaafar shares some of his favorite memories growing up around his uncle, including time spent at Neverland watching movies and enjoying all the candy they wanted. He also talks about how physically demanding the role was, from learning the choreography to keeping up with the energy and precision that defined Michael’s performances. Juliano talks about how Michael Jackson has always been a huge inspiration to him and what he discovered through playing him. Nia Long reflects on her connection to Michael Jackson, including how her mother worked for his record label and meeting him at a Stevie Wonder concert. Colman Domingo discusses his transformation into Joe Jackson and his approach to bringing humanity to the role. This is a fun, thoughtful, and in depth conversation about honoring one of the most iconic artists of all time, the King of Pop.
