Bigi Jackson made a rare red carpet appearance at the Berlin premiere of the biopic ‘Michael’ on April 10, 2026. The event took place at the Uber Eats Music Hall and attracted significant attention from fans and media alike, especially given that it was Bigi’s first public outing since March 2024.
The 24-year-old Bigi, along with his 29-year-old brother Prince Jackson, donned matching black suits adorned with gold crown decals and armbands that featured Michael Jackson’s iconic dance feet. This thoughtful detail resonated with fans and collectors, highlighting their connection to their father’s legacy.
The biopic ‘Michael’, which is set to hit theaters on April 24, 2026, stars Jaafar Jackson, Michael’s nephew, in the titular role. Jaafar expressed the challenges he faced in embodying his famous uncle, stating, “Embodying Michael, I really had to earn the role and prove to the filmmakers that I was capable of becoming Michael. Essentially, it was starting at the roots and finding the authenticity.” This sentiment underscores the film’s ambition to honor the late pop icon’s legacy.
The premiere also saw the attendance of several family members, including Jackie, Jermaine, and Marlon Jackson, further emphasizing the familial ties and support surrounding the project. Notably absent was Paris Jackson, who did not attend the event.
With a reported budget of around $150 million, ‘Michael’ aims to provide an in-depth look at the life and career of Michael Jackson, who passed away at the age of 50. The film’s high-profile production and the involvement of director Antoine Fuqua suggest a significant investment in bringing the King of Pop’s story to the big screen.
Bigi Jackson’s appearance at the premiere marks a particularly significant moment for him, as he has long chosen a quiet, private existence away from the Hollywood spotlight. His decision to attend this event reflects a willingness to engage with his father’s legacy in a public forum, a move that has surprised many fans.
As the release date approaches, anticipation builds among fans eager to see how the film portrays Michael Jackson’s life. Observers are keen to see if the film will resonate with audiences and how it will be received in the context of Michael’s enduring influence on music and culture.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further promotional appearances by Bigi or other family members leading up to the film’s release, but the premiere has certainly reignited interest in the Jackson family’s story and their connection to one of music’s most iconic figures.
