Biography
Jaafar Jackson is an American actor and singer best known for portraying his legendary uncle, Michael Jackson, in the upcoming biographical film Michael. Born on July 25, 1996, he is the son of Jermaine Jackson, a founding member of the Jackson 5, and Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza. Growing up in one of the most influential musical families in history, Jaafar was exposed to music, performance, and artistry from an early age.
Despite his famous lineage, Jaafar largely stayed out of the public eye during his early years, focusing on developing his own talents. He trained extensively in singing, dancing, and performance, drawing inspiration from classic soul, R&B, and pop music, while also working to establish his own artistic identity.
Jaafar’s breakthrough came when he was cast as Michael Jackson in Michael, a highly anticipated biopic that chronicles the life and career of the King of Pop. His casting drew widespread attention due to his striking resemblance to his uncle, as well as his natural ability to capture Michael Jackson’s signature dance moves, vocal style, and stage presence. The role marks Jaafar’s acting debut and represents a significant milestone in his career.
