Although on the silhouette of Michael Jackson during the last three decades has run so much ink that today there should be no person on the planet who does not know how to relate his surname with the nickname of "King of Pop", his life, career and death continue wrapped in a mantle of mystery. Although, for some, he was a living legend, a genius with all the letters and a visionary who anticipated his time, others called him a weirdo, and think of him as a very immature and too extravagant man. However, some facts related to Michael remain an enigma even for his most devoted fans ... These are some of them.
He did not invent the lunar step
Although "moonwalk" is the most recognized passage in the world, and can be called the king of dance movements, despite what is believed, it was not MJ who had invented it. In fact, when the future King of Pop interpreted his song "Billie Jean" during an anniversary of Motown (record label that used him) in 1983, he only broadcast the moonwalk, and made it his characteristic movement. However, the same artist already in his autobiography (by the way, entitled "Moonwalk") said he learned the lunar passage of children who were playing in the street of a neighborhood in his hometown, Gary, in the state of Indiana.
He had his own video game
When Michael Jackson was still known as a celebrated eccentric, Sega launched a video game based on his figure. The invention entitled "Moonwalker" was noted for being the first example of video game in which the leading role belonged to a world famous person, and some of the songs of MJ used in the digital format that formed the soundtrack of the game.
It's a fact: about "Thriller", the best-selling album on the planet, there is much more to it than about the musical works of which it is composed. Consequently, few know that "Billie Jean" was not only the first video on MTV, whose author was an artist of color, but also one of the best compositions of Michael Jackson. In 1984 the same song won two Grammy Awards, and in 2005 was proclaimed by the magazine "Blender" the best musical track created since 1980.
I not only suffered from vitiligo
When the news of his plastic surgeries became public (and it was impossible not to notice the changes in his physical appearance), the singer immediately had to face a strong and omnipresent criticism. Everyone began to talk about the money spent by the King of Pop on operations, and the real reason for them. However, no one believed when the artist admitted to vitiligo, although over time several photos of MJ have been published, in whose skin there were distinct white spots. In addition, he suffered from a rare genetic disease: alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.
His best friend was a chimpanzee called Bubbles
From the beginning of the 80s the King of Pop and the tender animal were almost inseparable. The boy several times appeared in public with his owner (he even appeared in one of his videos, "Liberian Girl"), ate at Michael's table, slept in a crib and learned to use the service alone. However, after the birth of his first child, Prince, MJ (concerned about the size and aggressiveness of the animal he had raised) was forced to leave it in a sanctuary. Today, according to the news, Bubbles spends his time painting, listening to the music of the flute and staying with Sam, his other chimpanzee friend.
The "Wacko-Jacko" created its own legend
In the mid-eighties, thanks to the process of skin bleaching, Jackson has become a tabloid phenomenon. He came to earn a mocking nickname "Wacko Jacko" ("Jacksonl, the nutty"), which he disdained all his life, although most rumors and gossip that used to appear in the tabloids ... he invented them himself. For example, it was thought that the King of Pop used to sleep in an oxygen chamber to preserve his youth, and that in his time he was trying to acquire the remains of the elephant man, Joseph Merrick. These - and many more - occurrences were invented by the same MJ and his manager, Frank Dileo.
He used strange perfumes and had his own fragrance
Have you ever thought about how Michael Jackson smelled? The answers are two. The first one was provided by Karen Faye (her cooperator and friend), who revealed that the singer loved the perfume "Bal a Versailles" by Jean Desprez from 1962. It would not be strange if it had not been a fragrance for women :) Another curiosity supposes the fact that in 2009 a perfume was released based on ... the artist's DNA. The aroma has been created by My DNA Fragrance, an American company, which specializes in differentiating DNA from the hairs of famous people. They recreated, among others, the smell of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley or Napoleon Bonaparte!
Had at least two godchildren
It is generally known that among the known ones of the King of Pop were the famous politicians, writers, television presenters, actors, singers and ... monarchs. In addition, the friendship that struck up with Lionel Ritchie and Barry Gibb was so strong, that the two decided to make MJ the godfather of their children. Thanks to the trust of the leader of Bee Gees and Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson could boast of having a godson (Michael Gibb) and a goddaughter (Nicole Richie). However, not only did he accept being their godfather: it was also for Paris Hilton and children of his several relatives.
"Pop's king"
Almost no one is really aware that the first person who had addressed Michael using the expression that today is usually associated only with him, was his great friend and partner: the actress, Elizabeth Taylor. In this way, the incomparable star of the big screen has announced to the world its astonishment and respect for the work of MJ. This is what he announced in a ceremony, before having given him a prize: it was then, when the world began to think of him as the King of Pop.
I wanted to be ... Spiderman
All of us have dreamed of owning superpowers, but generally these were just fantasies. The obsession of Michael Jackson was something more serious: he wanted to produce a Spiderman movie, in which the main role would play himself. Unfortunately for him, this plan could not be realized, since the actor chosen to play the role of Spider-Man ended up being Tobey Maguire. By the way, the same Michael during his career has been lucky to act in some movies, videos and television shows. In fact, still in 1973 - at 15 years of age! - he won a Golden Globe for the best original song to the movie "Ben".
