Michael Jackson’s youngest son, Bigi Jackson, formerly known as Blanket, was seen during a rare outing in Los Angeles over the weekend, looking more grown up than ever before!
The 24-year-old was out grabbing lunch with his friends after celebrating his birthday just one week prior on Feb. 21, the Daily Mail reported. Bigi looked calm and alert as paparazzi snapped their photos.
Bigi Jackson Is All Grown Up at 24
While enjoying his afternoon out, Bigi wore a blue Quint’s Shark Fishing shirt, which he had also previously worn in public one year prior. His black hair, much like his famed dad’s, appeared silky and full.
Bigi’s sister, Paris Jackson, is far more public than he and their brother, Prince Jackson. Just days before Bigi was seen getting lunch with his friends, Paris reunited with her mom, Debbie Rowe. The singer later shared photos of their outing to her Instagram Story, TMZ reported.
Rowe and Jackson were married from 1996 to 2000, People reported. Once divorced, Rowe gave the “Dirty Diana” artist full custody of both Paris and their son, Prince. Although Rowe is the mother of two of Jackson’s children, Bigi was born via surrogate, and his mom’s identity has never been revealed.
When Bigi turned 18 years old, Paris shared a touching tribute for him on her Instagram, joking about how much has changed since the days when she changed his diapers.
“My little brother is a legal adult today. what the [expletive],” Paris wrote alongside old photos, HELLO! reported. “i used to change his diapers. this is such a trip.. proud of the handsome, intelligent, insightful, funny, and kind young man he has become. he likes privacy so that’s all i gotta say. hbd lil bro.”
Bigi Jackson Talks About Dad Michael Jackson’s Memorabilia
Despite Bigi keeping a low profile, he joined “Good Morning Britain” for an interview in 2021. During which, he toured a room full of Jackson’s memorabilia, discussing how “cool” the items were that his dad left behind.
“There’s a lot of really cool stuff here,” Bigi said of Jackson’s belongings. “I think there’s a lot of history in this house and studio here. And that’s what he was all about, and that’s just kind of what each of us want to do… make things that people hopefully enjoy but also can benefit their lives.”
Bigi’s public sighting comes approximately two months before Jackson’s biopic, “Michael,” is slated to be released on April 24.
Jackson’s nephew, who is Bigi’s cousin, Jaafar Jackson, was cast to play the role of the King of Pop. The film will tell the story of Jackson’s rise to fame, from days with the Jackson Five to his record-breaking solo career — the biopic will surely enliven the spirit of the pop legend.
I don’t see it. To me, he doesn’t even resemble Michael. To each, his own.
Ya I agree with the other person commenting. He looks absolutely nothing like Michael Jackson. Not even a little bit.
That boy does not look like Mike in any form. His hair? Mike’s hair was processed. His skin color? Mike was black, no matter what he looked like. U folks need to get real. NONE OF THOSE CHILDREN HAVE ANY FEATURES RESEMBLING MIKE. U all need to quit
This headline is so annoying. He looks nothing like MJ. People, MJ was a brown to dark skin African American with kinky hair and a broad nose. His plastic surgery didn’t change his DNA people, his kids should look at least half black in some way.
This headline does nothing but play on ignorance and expects the readers to be stupid and fan struck. No doubt Bigi’s publicist edited this.
If he looks like his dad, then I do too! No resemblance 🤷♀️
