Advocate for Michael Jackson Lookalikes to be Given 'An Opportunity' in Biopics

Fabio Jackson, a renowned Michael Jackson impersonator, has sparked conversation in the film industry with his latest statements about biopics. The performer encouraged other impersonators to be given opportunities to portray the legends they emulate on screen.

During an interview with TMZ, Fabio shared his perspective on representing the King of Pop. He reflected on both the challenges and joys of embodying his lifelong inspiration.

Do you feel pressure to live up to Michaels image, or is it just fun for you? the reporter asked.

There is definitely pressure, Fabio admitted, but I enjoy it. I have fun, and I respect him deeply. Its a big responsibility, because filling his shoes is no small task.

When questioned about whether impersonators should have a chance to audition for biopics or films inspired by their icons, Fabio was firm in his belief: Absolutely. They dedicate so much effort and passion. Their love for Michael and his fans deserves recognition, and they should have a shot.

The interview quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions on social media. Some supporters wrote, He should be the one playing MJ in the biopic, while others praised his authenticity, saying, You can see Michael in him.

However, not everyone agreed. Some users expressed disbelief, joking about the idea of an impersonator being considered for a major film role.

Amid the debate, anticipation grows for the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic titled Michael, starring his nephew Jaafar Jackson, set to premiere on April 24, 2026.
