Michael Jackson’s son makes a rare public appearance, and fans can’t believe how much he looks like his dad
Photos of Michael Jackson’s son spark conversations online about his strong resemblance to the King of Pop
In a rare public appearance, Bigi Jackson, formerly known as Blanket, was recently spotted in Calabasas, California, sparking conversations among fans worldwide.
The 22-year-old, son of the legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson, was seen enjoying a quiet meal at Sharky’s Mexican Grill. Dressed in a casual outfit featuring a faded Avengers T-shirt, green shorts, and sneakers, Bigi’s appearance left many fans commenting on how closely he resembles his father.
While Bigi has kept a relatively low profile since his father’s passing, this public outing on October 10, 2024, drew widespread attention. Many fans couldn’t help but point out how much he looks like Michael, with several taking to social media to express their surprise. One fan commented, “He looks just like MJ!” while another remarked, “😮 Yup, spitting image😳😳.”
Bigi, born in 2002 via surrogate, changed his name in 2015 from Blanket to Bigi, choosing a fresh start while growing up under the immense public scrutiny that comes with being Michael Jackson’s child. Despite this, he has largely stayed out of the spotlight, unlike his older siblings, Paris and Prince Jackson, who are more visible in the media.
Fans who have followed Bigi’s journey may recall the infamous moment in 2002 when Michael Jackson held him over a hotel balcony in Berlin. Although meant as a grand gesture to show him to adoring fans, the act sparked outrage and criticism worldwide. Michael later admitted it was a mistake and publicly apologized for endangering his son.
Today, Bigi’s relationship with his siblings remains strong. He shares a close bond with Prince, who is only a few years older, and the two are said to be best friends. Together with their sister Paris, the siblings continue to honor their father’s legacy in their own ways. Recently, Bigi has been vocal about his dedication to raising awareness about climate change, an issue he feels passionate about.
