Bigi “Blanket” Jackson stepped out for a rare red carpet appearance with his older brother Prince Jackson at the Berlin premiere of the Michael biopic April 10.
And to make it even more of a family affair, the brothers were joined by their uncles Jermaine Jackson and Jackie Jackson, as well as cousin Jafar Jackson, who portrays the King of Pop in the movie.
Both Bigi, 24, and Prince, 29, paid tribute to their dad—who died in 2009 at age 50—with their wardrobe, each wearing a dark suit jacket adorned with a gold crown decal. The siblings completed their blazers with red armbands, which Michael often symbolically wore to advocate for children’s rights.
Their 28-year-old sister Paris Jackson did not attend the event, having previously slammed Michael as a “sugar-coated” version of her father’s life.
“I read one of the first drafts of the script and gave my notes about what was dishonest / didn’t sit right with me and when they didn’t address it I moved on with my life,” she wrote on Instagram Stories in August. “Not my monkeys not my circus. God bless and god speed.”
“The thing about these biopics is it’s Hollywood, so it’s fantasyland,” she continued. “There’s a lot of inaccuracy and there’s a lot of just full-blown lies.”
And at the end of the day, the musician said that type of behavior “doesn’t really fly with me.”
“I don’t really like dishonesty, I spoke up, I wasn’t heard, I f–ked off,” she added. “That’s it.”
Still, Paris believes many of Michael’s fans will be “happy” with the biopic, which is produced in conjunction with the late singer’s estate.
“A big section of the film panders to a very specific section of my dad’s fandom that still lives in the fantasy,” she wrote. “Go enjoy it. Do whatever. Leave me out of it.”
