Michael Jackson Biopic Premieres
Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the movie covers Jackson's life from his early days with the Jackson 5 through the height of his solo fame.
While the premiere was a star-studded celebration, the film has faced criticism for reportedly 'whitewashing' and skipping over the more challenging aspects of the singer's personal life.
Jaafar Jackson has been praised for his mastery of the moonwalk and his ability to capture his uncle's stage presence.
The biopic is expected to be a major box office hit when it opens in theaters nationwide this Friday.
