Will Smith Had the Most Bizarre First and Last Meet With Pop Legend Michael Jackson

For over three decades, Will Smith has ruled over the hearts of his fans. The
Academy Award-winning actor has a resume that many wish for. But little to
people’s knowledge, Will got his rise to fame through his illustrious rapping
career. And like many other musicians in the 80s and 90s will, too, wanted to
meet the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. But sadly, the I am Legend actor got
only one meeting with the legendary singer.



Who would not want a chance to meet their idols? After all, they were the
primary source of inspiration to all of us. But for Will, his opportunity to
meet the Gloved One was short and brief. But nevertheless, Will and
Michael’s only meeting is as historic as both of their careers.


WILL SMITH AND MICHAEL JACKSON HAD THEIR ONLY MEETING IN A UTILITY CLOSET

The Fresh Prince was forced into a closet by Death Row Records co-founder Suge
Knight at the BET Awards, where he eventually met the late King of pop, Michael
Jackson, for the first and last time. Before giving up his trophy, Will Smith
was about to go up to Michael Jackson when Suge Knight entered the room and
caused an altercation. People were running to hide from the co-founder of Death
Row when Will was placed in a utility closet.

According to the rapper-turned-actor, when Michale called out his name, he was
shocked and surprised to see him there. Michael began the conversation by asking
Will what had happened, and when Will explained the scenario to him, Michael
replied by saying, “Suge’s always trippin’, All that success, and he can’t
figure out how to be happy.”

Apparently, the two talked about comic books, but Will Smith regrets that he did
not ask other questions, such as, “What’s the glove made of? What’s your brother
Tito like? Can you Moonwalk forward? Is Annie OK?”


MICHAEL JACKSON IN MEN IN BLACK 2

Even though the two immensely popular artists met only once in their life, they
also shared the screen (technically) once. In the 2002 sequel to Men In Black,
Michael Jackson makes a short cameo where he plays a version of himself in the
movie, trying to convince Agent Z to give him a job in the secret agency.
