Michael Jackson‘s nephew Jaafar’s jumping right into a thriller night … getting dead-dolled up just like Uncle Mike for a recreation of the “Thriller” music video.
New photos from the set taken earlier this week show Jaafar looking just like Michael — a common sight during filming that still doesn’t get old — clad in the iconic red leather get-up.
But, fans will probably focus more on his face … ’cause the makeup’s a dead ringer for Michael’s in the 1983 music vid — emphasis on “dead!!!”
Check out the pics … JJ’s gray face with seemingly no nose to speak of screams walking — or, in this case dancing — corpse.
Plus, he’s hitting every dance move just right — leading a whole crew of the undead with the stiff grace MJ pulled off in the vid more than four decades ago … sure to make the fam proud, one would think.
Of course, we’ve regularly spotted Jackson filming scenes for the new movie — which the director says will be a long one with more than 30 of Michael’s biggest hits woven in — over the last few months … and, embodying MJ in some of his most prominent eras.
If you didn’t know … the “Thriller” album became the best-selling album of all time, staying atop the Billboard 200 for weeks and selling millions of copies — and, the music video ended up doubling album sales. From the looks of it … this is a dead-on reenactment, to the T!
