Michael Jackson’s son’s honor their late father with red carpet look at biopic premiere

Bigi, 24, and 29-year-old Prince both wore black single-breasted suits, with Bigi opting for a white shirt and gold decal on the suit jacket, reminiscent of one of Michael’s iconic performance outfits.

Prince paired his suit with a wine-red shirt.

Both added a red armband, which Michael often wore as a symbolic, silent gesture of his support for underprivileged children. 

Their armband also featured an illustration of their father’s feet posed in his iconic style.

The premiere was also attended by members of the Jackson family, including Jaafar Jackson, who plays the role of Michael in the Lionsgate film, and Jackie and Jermaine Jackson, Michael’s brothers and members of the Jackson 5 band.

The film is set for an April 2026 release and will also star Miles Teller, Nia Long, and Kat Graham.

“The film presents his triumphs and tragedies on an epic, cinematic scale — from his human side and personal struggles to his undeniable creative genius, exemplified by his most iconic performances,” the synopsis of the film reads.

“As never before, audiences will experience an inside look into one of the most influential, trailblazing artists the world has ever known.”

Their older sister Paris was not in attendance; in September 2025 she refuted claims that she was supportive of the film, after Oscar nominee Colman Domingo who will play Jackson patriarch Joe Jackson, alleged that both Paris and Prince had given their seal of approval.

“Don’t be telling people I was ‘helpful’ on the set of a movie I had zero per cent involvement in lol that is so weird,” she wrote. “I read one of the first drafts of the script and gave my notes about what was dishonest/didn’t sit right with me, and when they didn’t address it, I moved on with my life. Not my monkeys, not my circus. God bless and God speed.” 

However, she then continued: “A big reason why I haven’t said anything up until this point is because I know a lot of you guys are [going to] be happy with it. A big section of the film panders to a very specific section of my dad’s fandom that still lives in the fantasy, and they’re [going to] be happy with it.”

She added that the biopic had been “sugar-coated” and that she wanted nothing to do with it, concluding: “The narrative is being controlled, and there’s a lot of inaccuracy, and there’s a lot of just full-blown lies. At the end of the day, that doesn’t really fly with me. Go enjoy it. Do whatever. Leave me out of it.”
