Iconic Michael Jackson will be portrayed by his grandson, Jaafar Jackson, in a biopic directed by Antoine Fuqua.
The film, simply titled "Michael", will be the first major film role for year-old Jaafar, who is the son of Jermaine Jackson, Michael's older brother. After making the decision public, Jaafar described himself as "humbled and honoured".

Acquaintances on Wall Street lived in a now-burst bubble of multi-million dollar bonuses, trophy wives and extravagant homes in Connecticut or on the Long Island shore.
