Michael’s Jaafar Jackson on Prince Jackson, Bigi Jackson Support
See Michael Jackson’s Son Bigi “Blanket” Makes Rare Red Carpet Appearance With Family
This support knocked Jaafar Jackson off his feet.
As the son of Jermaine Jackson celebrated the premiere of the Michael biopic—which sees him portray his uncle Michael Jackson—in Germany on April 10, he was joined by his cousins Prince Jackson and Bigi “Blanket” Jackson.
“To have my cousins there and my other family members, that meant everything,” he told E! News’ Will Marfuggi at the film’s US premiere on April 20. “Because it is a family story, and it all started in Gary, Indiana, so it meant the world to me.”
Indeed, the international launch was a true family affair. Not only were Prince, 29, and Bigi, 24, at the event, but Jaafar was also joined by his dad Jermaine Jackson and uncles Marlon Jackson and Jackie Jackson, all of whom posed for a photo together.
Plus, having the film’s first kickoff event in Europe was particularly poignant for the 29-year-old.
“That was special, to be in Berlin and Europe,” Jaafar added. “Especially, I know Michael loved Europe and Germany. He spent a lot of time there.”
