Celebrities Forget How To Act Around Michael Jackson
There is no debate about the legend Michael Jackson was and the reactions he caused were even more unbelievable while celebrities completely lost their composure whenever they were next to him. Starting with his deposition when he was asked about musical phrases and his response was both sassy and hilarious. Do you include common musical phrases in your songs that you write? Common musical phrases? But when the interviewer kept insisting Michael answered in the most Michael Jackson way possible. Do you know what that means?
Yeah, but I don’t know if you know what it means. Well, let me A pedestrian stopped mid traffic in front of the car doing his moves and Michael loved it. The police pulled him out of the car. What was he doing? He was doing the Jackson dance. He was doing all my every time he starts they police pull him out every time. He could never get on a roll. Poor guy. Will Smith’s only Michael Jackson story was too chaotic. ; I see him and he’s across the room and my security comes over and they
grab me and I’m like, “You got to move. We got to move.” And I’m like, “No, but I got to meet Mike.” Like, “What happened? What happened?” He said, “Suge Knight happened.” Opens this door and shoves me into like this It starts to get quiet. And I’m like, “Yo.” And I hear, “Hey.” Return. And I turn around and Michael Jackson is behind me in the closet. I was like, “Oh, Mike.” He’s like, “Hey, how you doing?”
Oh, sh What? Hey, what’s up, man? What do you think’s going on out there? Uh Suge Suge Knight Suge Knight tripping. Suge’s always tripping. All that success and he can’t figure out how to be happy. Yeah, it’s crazy, Mike. Do you like comic books? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love comics, Mike. I love comics. You know, ; ; I didn’t I don’t know nothing about no comic books, but I got I’m here with Michael Jackson. I ain’t going to tell
him that. Michael Jackson once took part in a Michael Jackson look-alike contest and the funniest part is that he did the worst job there because he couldn’t even keep himself composed. My name is Michael Jackson. My name is Michael Jackson. My name is Michael Jackson. Will the real Michael Jackson please stand forward? ; [laughter] ; But sometimes the funniest Michael Jackson stories came from the people closest to him. Like rap, like he liked that 50 Cent song in the club. He liked
the beat, so he’d be jamming to the beat. We’d be riding in All of a sudden, you know, it’s cool until he start saying the words. That’s when it sound crazy. He’s like, “You see me in the club with a bottle for a bub.” Michael, Michael, no. Michael, no. Chris, I love that song, Chris. I love that beat. I love it, Chris. That is a cold-blooded beat. I love that beat. Of course I wouldn’t go in the club with a bottle for a bub, Chris. I wouldn’t do that. And Chris Tucker has lots of
stories. He would give you anything if you liked something. Like I was just complimenting a flat-screen TV he had and he gave it to me. I was like, “Michael, get I didn’t want the TV.” But then the black came out of me. I start liking everything after that. I was I said, “Michael, I like that Rolls-Royce. That’s a bad Rolls-Royce. Not the old one, the new Rolls-Royce, right there.” He was like, “You like it, Chris?” I said, “Yeah, I like it.” He said, “You
sure you like it?” I said, “Yeah, I like it.” He said, “Well, you better go buy one cuz I ain’t giving you my Rolls. I gave you a TV. Damn.” And not just Chris Tucker, LL Cool J also shared his Michael Jackson story. You know, one time I said, you know, I was sitting there, we were in his office. I said, “Mike, Mike, you know, I got a I got a I got to pass gas.” He said, “What?” He said, “What?” I said, “Mike, I I got to fart.” He said, “You got to what?” I
said, “I have to fart. He said Well, go ahead then. I was And I went HE WENT AH! ; [laughter] ; AND THE RAPPER WAS CURIOUS ABOUT MICHAEL Jackson’s iconic smooth criminal lean forward. ; You know, I said, “Mike, um you know, in the smooth criminal, how do you lean forward like that? And how did you lean forward?” He said, “Well, you know, we had a a swami come in and, you know, we did a special thing and he did a ritual and he leaned forward and we all leaned
forward together.” I was like, “Really?” He was like, “No, silly.” And then there was the unforgettable conversation between the King of Pop and the Princess of Wales herself, Princess Diana. ; I wrote a song called Dirty Diana. But I took it out of the show in honor of her royal highness. And she she took me away and she said, “Are you going to do Dirty Diana?” I said, “No, I took it out of the show because of you.” She said, “No, I want
you to do it. Do it. Do the song.” Something Michael Jackson valued more than almost anything, honesty. Uh I don’t like to. Can we can we just do it again without the just the negative saying that you don’t like the tour? Just can ; like it though. ; I know, but you say this ; I go through hell. ; up though. I don’t know. I go through hell touring. Okay, then I I’ll make it positive then. But you know the truth. Yeah. Okay. And action, Michael. I love to tour.
; [laughter] ; And not just with interviewers, even with his sister. Michael, excuse me. Can you close that door? Your voice is very irritating. When Michael won at the Grammys, he even took a playful shot at his brother while on stage. I also like to thank all my brothers who I love very dearly, all of including Jermaine. ; [applause] ; Yeah. I mean, all the things ever printed in the tabloid, the only things ever been It doesn’t matter. ; shooting the commercial, you were
How about the time Michael was asked about his age? You’re getting close to your 40th birthday. How is it the the way you feel about music? I did not circle that question. ; I’m sorry. I really I really don’t like being interviewed. I swear to God. But it looks like he was having fun in this one. I’m sorry to ; [laughter] ; He didn’t like How about Zac Efron’s wholesome Michael Jackson story? ; On the other side of the table our director Kenny Ortega, and his phone
rang and I remember I got this look like You want this phone. ; [laughter] ; I was like, okay, so I came over and I was like, what’s what’s going on? He goes, it’s Michael Jackson. I’m like, what? He hands me the phone and I was like, uh, hello? And I heard, um, Hi, who’s this? And I was like, um, this is Zac Efron. And then he said, that’s really nice. Can you hand the phone back to Kenny? That alone already made Zac Efron’s day, but what happened next surprised him even more. And all of
a sudden the phone rang again and um, Kenny answered and I saw him kind of confused across the table and and uh, he like looked at me again, he’s like, you want to get what? Okay, and I picked up the phone, I was like, hello? And he goes, oh, this is Zac from High School Musical? And I was like, uh, yeah. And he was like, oh, I’m I love what you do. I’m a huge fan. I’m I love what you did. And I’ve lost it. I just lost it. I lost my balance. I think I fell over into the wall. I started I was like, “Do you know
who I am?” And I just started crying. That made him cry. ; [laughter] ; Now we’re both crying to each other on the phone. And he ended the whole phone call conversation with um something along the lines of “Hey Zach.” And I like stopped crying for a second. He’s like, “Isn’t it Isn’t it awesome?” And I was like, “What?” And he goes, “Dreams really do come true, don’t they?” I was like, “Michael, you can’t say
things like that.” Well, Magic Johnson couldn’t believe he got a call from the King of Pop. ; a call and he called me and said, “Magic, this is Michael.” And I was like, I Michael who? “Michael Jackson.” I said, I hung the phone up. So, he calls right back. “Magic, this is Michael.” I hung the phone up cuz no way Michael Jackson calling me, you know. I knew his brothers Jackie very well. We were good friends. So, I called Jackie and said, “Man,
somebody calling me pretending they Michael Jackson, your brother.” He said, “Man, that was Michael.” I said, “What?” ; [laughter] ; I said, “JACKIE, I’M SORRY.” AND MICHAEL EVEN INVITED him over to his house. Uh so, I go over to the house ; ; and they they called me uh his chief of staff and said, “What do you like?” So, you know, I’m trying to be healthy. So, I said, “Just some grilled chicken and some green beans and
stuff.” So, I’m I’m trying to impress him, you know, like I’m I’m healthy and stuff. Long table, he’s down at one end, I’m down at the other end. The The two guys come out with the white gloves present my grilled chicken, green beans, put it down. They went, got his thing lift the top and it was a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. I SAID, “HOLD [screaming] UP! HO- MICHAEL JACKSON, you eat Kentucky Fried Chicken. One of Michael’s biggest struggles was simply trying to go
anywhere quietly, but even then, he still tried to give fans at least a handshake. We walk to the car and we get in the car. I say, “Mike, listen, man, it’s people all the way down here. I just want to shake their hand.” I say, “Mike, you can’t shake these people hand, dog. What we finna do?” So, Mike sitting over there and this ass rolled a window down. We over there by ourself. He rolled the window down. Man, these people was reaching in there, man, tearing his clothes off. Um,
they’re pulling me in. I said, “Roll your window up.” SHUT UP ALL THAT WHINING AND [ __ ] MIKE, CAN ROLL YOUR WINDOW UP. YOU GOING TO CRUSH THAT HAND. I GOT THAT WINDOW UP and this dude’s hand was caught in the window. [laughter] Mike say, “Steve, stop the car. He’s going to get hurt.” Man, [ __ ] him. We all going to get hurt if we don’t get out of here. His then wife, Lisa Marie Presley, was asked if she will ever sing with Michael. Are you going to sing together?
I don’t sing. I I did sing, but that’s not why I married Michael. Um, I don’t need that. That’s ridiculous. If I wanted it, I mean, I’m not going to marry someone for a recording career, just to clear that up as well. Um What? ; [laughter] ; I stopped. And he started singing to her. No, I would love to sing with you. Would you like to sing with me? ; sing. And when Michael realized the paparazzi were taking pictures every single time he moved, he decided to
start trolling them instead. Chris Tucker thought he had hit the jackpot when he found himself in the same room as Michael Jackson and Barry Gibb. So, they start singing. Michael start singing first, man. I never heard him sing live before. He was like, “How deep is your love? How deep is your love? How I really need to know.” And Berry came in, “I believe in you.” I said, “Then the dolphins I believe in me.” And then I got caught up AND CAME IN, “COME to you all the suffering
AND YOUR LOVE I CAN stand and you know it.” And Michael was like, “Chris, no. Chris, no.” ; [cheering] [applause] ; Chris. Berry, I’m sorry, Berry. Chris. I said, “Michael, I’m sorry. I got caught up.” “No, Chris, no.” I said, “I’m sorry, Michael. It was the sound was so good. I thought I would” “No, Chris, no.” “Chris, go to the car, Chris. Go to the car.” We go to the mov- the movie sometime. We go to the movies. Uh both of us like
going to the movies. So we go to the movies, but it’s hard because Michael got to sneak in the movie right before it start. So Michael coming in like with a ninja suit on. He’s hiding in all black. All of a sudden I’m sitting there and I’m like, “Where’s Michael?” And then I turn around he’s like, “Hey, Chris.” I’M LIKE, “OH, MAN.” ; [laughter] ; “HOW LONG YOU’VE BEEN HERE?” “ABOUT 5 MINUTES.” “SORRY, CHRIS.” And then, you know, we
sneak in all this stuff. He sneaks in at the last minute. He does all this stuff. Security bring us popcorn and stuff. And you know, I’m like he’s trying to hide, you know. ; Right. Here you go, Mr. Jackson. You know. Yeah. ; [laughter] ; And then all of a sudden we watching the movie he’s the loudest person in there. Really? Yeah, he’s watching THE MOVIE LIKE, ; [laughter] ; I’M SORRY. IT WAS FUNNY, CHRIS. ; YEAH. Michael also had a habit of mimicking
his own fans. What’d you say? I love you. I love you. And this was Michael’s hilarious reaction after ending up right behind a couple kissing at a live wedding. Can I kiss you now? Yes, you may. Okay, kiss. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I know your uncle Lawrence. Yes, of course. ; we dated in high school. ; [laughter] ; I got to get my cousin to hear that. Imagine being so famous you ask Eddie Murphy to fix your mic. First, I’d like to thank um Could you lift that up, please?
; [laughter] ; Eddie. I need you to hold it. It ain’t working. Go like this now. And not just Eddie Murphy, the cameraman, too. I don’t like that angle. I like this one. And this is Eddie Murphy’s story about Michael Jackson’s famous monkey, Bubbles. Did you ever get to meet Bubbles? The chimp? ; Yeah, you know I met Bubbles, but Bubbles ; [laughter] ; He had Bubbles in uh Michael had like a big like a real zoo at his house. And [laughter] with
the really like with a big zoo with giraffes and I mean, he had a he had a facility a thing that was so big that giraffes was walking around in like uh ; [laughter] ; And uh uh Bubbles had gotten too old. Bubble was in cage like tripping like uh uh uh uh And Michael’s like, “Don’t go near the cage.” That annoying Macaulay Culkin, he made sure he schemed on me. He told me to go up on the diving board and I went up there like A NUT. ; [screaming] ; NO!
NO! I’LL KILL YOU. I’LL KILL YOU. I’LL KILL YOU BACK. WEBB, HOW close are you? I don’t know. Pretty close. I can see right about where your Nike is. What a schmuck. Back up. Ah, did we do this? That’s how you beg. And here was Michael’s reaction after a fan suddenly asked him to marry her. Michael, will you marry me? I think he just said yes, Michael. Michael. He took the ring. When Michael Jackson went shopping at an expensive antique store in Las Vegas, he was shopping like it was T on.
About this. Uh-huh. About this one. This one. About midnight. And this one. About this table. This chess set. Isn’t it beautiful, this set? Your chess set to in your library, isn’t it? ; one’s bigger. This one’s bigger. Wow. Oh, it’s sold, look. ; About this one, right? Is this yours? Yeah, that’s the soul sign, meaning it’s for me. And just look at the massive crowd of fans waiting for him outside the store. And that’s exactly why Michael once hired paid actors to fill
up a store, just so he could experience shopping peacefully like a normal person for once. Big deal. That is real. It was a lot of fun. It gave me a chance to see in my way kind of what the real world is like, even though it wasn’t the real thing. He was also friends with Mike Tyson. But before that, Michael somehow didn’t even recognize the heavyweight champion in his prime. ; I met Mike one day. I think he was at a concert in Cleveland. I’m with Don King. Uh-huh. Right, so me and Don coming,
right? And I’m I’m champ and everything. ; [laughter] ; So Don goes and Don gives Michael Jackson the peace sign like this. ; Okay. Right, and then so Michael gives Don the peace sign. And so I give Michael the peace sign. And Michael put his hand down. And I said, “Let me just go and meet Michael and you know, cuz that’s really why I’m here. I want to meet Michael.” ; Right. And then I go over to meet Michael and Michael’s like this. He’s
standing up and he’s like waiting by the door. I used I used I used to shout at the record on the speed of champ and everything a month ago, right? Yeah. Everybody going over me in the dressing room, right? And he’s just waiting by the door and he go Where do you come I know you from somewhere, don’t I? And I said no, I used to fight. He just broke my ear, he crushed me. Damn. I said no, I used to fight. Pleased to meet you, sir. He said okay. And then he got up and went to the car. I said that
cold mother So I [laughter] hated his Okay. But later on Michael ended up inviting him over to his house. And so one day Rodney Jerkins was working with him, right? ; All right. He said, “Yo, man, come see Mike.” I said, “No, I don’t want to see him. He dissed me, man. He played me, he made me look like a [ __ ] [ __ ] in front of all those people.” Mhm. He said, “Nah, man, he’s cool, man. Mike asked for you to come.” I said, “He didn’t ask for me. Get the [ __ ] He said,
“Mike, he asked for you, man.” I said, “Really?” Damn. I said, “Okay, I’m coming. I’ll be over there, right?” So ; ; I got on the plane, I went over there and I hung out and we just started hanging out together. And I said, man, he’s a good guy. I said, “But in my mind, why you playing me though, Mike? Why you playing me? You knew who I was. Why you playing me?” No, when I when I met him at his house, then I learned to
respect him.
