It’s honestly surreal seeing photos of Michael Jackson before everything that later came to define the public image people remember. You can really see how young he was here before years of fame, scrutiny, health issues and constant media attention completely changed how the world viewed him.

Why can’t Michael Jackson go within 500 feet of a school?
Because he’s dead!

On the Thriller album cover, he stilled looked normal. When Bad came out in 1987, a lot of people wondered what had he done to himself.

He looks like a young Jeff Goldblum or M Night Shymalan

Only a few years later he looked like a different person.

No child deserves the childhood the Jackson kids had. We can see that even fame and fortune later on can’t make up for it.

Michael really nerfed himself with that body dysmorphia.

And before he abused those kids.

I don’t know how to say this in a normal way, but as an European (dumb) kid in the early 2000s, I thought MJ was white. Seeing the pics of him before the vitiligo blew my mind

Why didn’t he want to be that guy? He looked good and was talented like nobody’s business.

His hair in this is wild, I forget he had a big afro phase like that.

Young MJ was a handsome black kid. It’s crazy how much he changed over the years.

The Pepsi incident singlehandedly ended Jerry curl as we know it.

love/hate/pity/envy this dude, his music, love most of it, hate the charges n stuff we heard about, whether true or not, makes me angry, of course, but, also pity, but, cant control who our Dads are, his made it happen, to start, anyway, but, at what cost ? But, then, how cool would it have been and what to do diffetently ? We can all think of quite a few things. Cool. I see the vitiligo as current, here. And remember the days, he was a bit older than I. Until he wasn’t. 🙏

He looked kind of weird in Thriller, but could have stopped there and aged gracefully.
