Michael Jackson To Be Played By Son
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Biopics, Music, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases
The casting director for an upcoming biopic of Michael Jackson need not look too far for casting—he’ll just hire the pop star’s “son” to play him in the new film.
Omer Bhatti, whom the late King of Pop told friends he had fathered, will play Michael in a movie charting his rise to superstardom in the ‘80s.
A source told Britain’s The Sun, “Michael’s story from childhood to the height of success is nothing short of astounding. The family feel fans would love to see a dramatic retelling. They want to cover his childhood and family life but really focus on when his career went into overdrive.”
Although Norwegian Omer, who has worked as a Michael Jackson impersonator, denies that Michael is his biological father, he has revealed that the singer used to tell him he was “like a son” to him.
He has also been welcomed by the Jackson family and sat in the front row at Michaels’ Los Angeles memorial service in July. Since Michael’s death in June, Omer has reportedly stayed at the Jacksons’ California home.
