Here are five things that makes Michael Jackson the most head-scratching icon in History:
- He really wanted to be Superman, even had someone create a life-sized wax statue of Superman that he put in his mansion
- Becoming BFF’s with Bubbles, a chimpanzee, even eating together at the dining room table.
- Getting so much plastic surgery his face looked like a wax statue.
- Hanging his new born baby over the side of his Berlin hotel balcony four stories up.
- Prank calling Russell Crowe for two to three years even though they had never met.
Russell told the Guardian,
“I never met him, never shook his hand, but he found out the name I stayed in hotels under, so it didn’t matter where I was, he’d ring up do this kind of thing, like you did when you were 10, you know. ‘Is Mr Wall there? Is Mrs Wall there? Are there any Walls there? Then what’s holding the roof up? Ha ha.”
NAILED IT.
Russell continued,
“You’re supposed to grow out of doing that, right?”
Russ, you’re talking about the dude who spent millions to construct a replica of a Peter Pan fantasy island in his back yard. This is just Michael being Michael. Surprised he never egged your house.
