Brooke Shields Says She Hasn’t Seen New Michael Jackson Biopic

Her long public friendship with Jackson makes any comment from her carry extra weight.

Overview

  • Brooke Shields told a paparazzi crew outside Craig’s in West Hollywood that she has not seen the film Michael.
  • The brief curbside exchange ended when a fan asked for a photo, and she joked about the person’s tiny camera.
  • Her response drew interest because she and Michael Jackson were close friends from the early 1980s until his death in 2009.
  • She has described their bond as personal rather than romantic, and she once said he proposed more than once in a 2009 Rolling Stone interview.
  • Coverage of the biopic highlights curiosity about reactions from people who knew Jackson, with one outlet reporting the lead role is played by his nephew Jaafar.
