Lee said,
We had met a number of times. In fact, he (Jackson) came to my house once with his son, and I remember my wife took care of his son for about an hour while Michael and I were talking. He was quite a good father. He was very solicitous, and he cared very much for the boy.
It is also noted that in February, he auctioned life-size statues of Batman, Superman and Spider-man from his private collection.
Also, Paris Jackson, MJ’s daughter was in much news in Hollywood. She is working on an interesting project which is over her fathers thrilling life. Latest film joining the world of MJ-themed projects is Sheikh Jackson, an Egyptian movie set in 2009 about an Islamic cleric who was obsessed with the pop star when he was a teenager, then has an identity crisis after the singer’s death.
