"Michael", a biopic about Michael Jackson, is officially happening.

Who actually plays Paul McCartney? If Mick Jagger has a role, then Paul McCartney has to be in it, because he contributed to Off the Wall and Thriller, and they had a huge hit with Say Say Say.

I just posted some of these quotes in another thread and I just wanted to say, a lot of people know that Michael liked to spend time with children because he never got to be a kid, but while this was true, it was also so much deeper than just wanting to play and have fun. I hope the biopic (probably in part 2) will show what children truly meant to Michael, how they were the light that helped him survive through his hard times and how helping kids who suffered gave him a reason to live.

Michael: "Okay, I’ll give you my honest answer. Okay, um. My greatest dream that I have left—I have accomplished my dreams with music and all that and I love music and entertainment—is this children’s initiative, is this thing that we are doing. But, um, ’cause I don’t care about [anything else], I really don’t, I don’t care about [career], I honestly don’t Shmuley. What keeps me going is children, or else I would, I would seriously. . . I’ve told you this before, I swear to God I mean every word. I would, I would just throw in the towel if it wasn’t for children or babies. And that’s my real, my honest [answer]. . . and I’ve said it before, if it weren’t for children, I would choose death. I mean it with all my heart."

Michael: "I get it back through the happiness and the joy that I see in the eyes of the children. They saved my life so I want to. . . give it back [Michael starts crying]. They saved me. I am not joking. Just being with them, just seeing them. It really has."


I hate how when people saw he had all those baby pictures in his bedroom when he died, they tried to turn it into something weird. I hope the biopic will show what the pictures meant to him and why he needed to have them on his walls:

Michael: "I didn’t know that I would break down crying when I saw her and I just broke down. I said, “You don’t know how you’ve saved my life.” She goes, “What do you mean?” I said, “So many times I have been at the end of my rope and I have felt like throwing in the towel and I just look at your picture and I feel there’s hope and I can survive this.” She said, “Really?” And I said, “Yeah.” I [used to have] a guy who would travel with me. His job was that before I got to every hotel, [he] was to set up the whole hotel room to Shirley Temple. I would do this for many, many years. All her pictures and cut-outs, that was what he did. So that when I walked in I would see her. I would have her taped to my mirror backstage."


This one just broke my heart when he started crying :

Michael: "If it wasn't for children, I would throw in the towel, I would kill myself. I wouldn't care to live. They give me my inspiration. They inspire me, everything I do, every song I write, every... the dance, everything that I do... And they try to use it against me."

Cory Rooney: “Let me explain to you what was said to me directly from Michael. Michael and I spoke about that. He said, ‘Cory, when I was a kid, I was denied not only a childhood but I was denied love. When I reached out to hug my father, he didn’t hug me back. When I was scared on an airplane, he didn’t put his arm around me and say Michael, don’t worry. It’s going to be ok. When I was scared to go on stage, he said, ‘Get your ass on this stage.’ Not just him, but every other adult around him. So he said to me ‘Cory, I will never deny a child love and if it means that I have to be crucified or put in jail for it, then that’s just what they’re gonna have to do.’
