Janet Jackson Shares Thoughts on Michael Biopic
Janet Jackson Is Curious About Brother’s Upcoming Documentary “Michael”
Janet Jackson Weighs In on Upcoming Michael Jackson Biopic, Holds Off on Her Own Retrospective
With the highly anticipated Michael biopic now set for release this October after a delay, the project has sparked excitement among fans—and a bit of cautious curiosity from within the Jackson family itself.
Janet Jackson, global icon and sister to the late King of Pop, recently shared her thoughts on the upcoming film, expressing measured skepticism about whether the biopic will truly capture the magnitude and complexity of her brother Michael Jackson’s legacy.
In a report from OK! Magazine, Janet admitted she’s “curious” about the project, which stars her nephew Jaafar Jackson in the titular role. While she has not been directly involved, she is closely watching how the film unfolds—and rooting for its success.
“Janet wants to ensure the Michael Jackson documentary is successful,” a source revealed. “She’s holding off on any career retrospective project of her own for the time being out of respect for the rest of her family—including her niece and nephews who control Michael Jackson’s estate.”
Janet’s decision to delay her own biopic or career documentary speaks volumes about her family-first approach. By stepping back and allowing the focus to remain on Michael’s story, she is not only showing deference to his legacy but also offering space for Jaafar and the estate to tell his story on their own terms.
The Michael biopic is shaping up to be a major cinematic event, with fans eager to see how the film portrays one of music’s most complex and legendary figures. And while Janet Jackson remains on the sidelines for now, her quiet support and protective instincts make it clear: she’s watching, she’s hopeful, and she wants nothing more than for her brother’s legacy to be honored with care.
