how his friendship with Michael Jackson was born

September 11, 2001 remains a historic date for the entire world. But she is also a Hollywood legend for a completely different reason. After the two planes hit the twin towers of New York, Michael Jackson tried to flee to the city, convinced that America had just entered the war. The “King of Pop” wants to fly to California, but United States airspace is closed until further notice.

The megastar finally decides to rent a car with his friend Marlon Brando. The two men then leave for an incognito road trip to the West Coast. Without a bodyguard, assistant or driver, they will drive together to Ohio, 800 km. It is even said that Brando, weighing 120 kg at the time, would have stopped at every Burger King and KFC on his way, to stock up on burgers and fried chicken.

This improbable friendship between the interpreter of Thriller and the Hollywood mogul would have started in the 1980s. It was Quincy Jones who would have introduced them to each other. While everything seems to separate them, the two men will, against all odds, form a sincere friendship until the end.

The Brando family, close to Jackson

Miko, one of Marlon Brando's sons, who worked as Michael Jackson's bodyguardwill even say that the artist will be present for his father until his death. “Michael took care of him until the end, he even had a golf cart built with an oxygen tank so that he could take a walk together in the gardens of Neverland“, he tells Quebec Journal.
The friendship between Michael Jackson and the Brandos father and son is such that Miko Brando's daughter is the singer's goddaughter. During her trial for sexual abuse of a minor in 2003, Prudence Brando even testified to defend her godfather. The King of Pop was finally acquitted in June 2005.

Marlon Brando could also be the biological father of some of Michael Jackson's children. In any case, this is what Quebec journalist Ian Halperin says. In his work Transit, Michael Jackson, the last years, he assures that Jackson would haveasked “twelve close friends, including Marlon Brando, to donate their sperm”.
