Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. Called the King of Pop, his contributions to music and dance, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.
As in humans we all want that special thing, that motivation maybe, that extra ordinary and peculiar need.,, No doubt, that makes us human, Michael maybe made his, the change became a phase in his life and career.....countless of surgery and other supportive mechanism were introduced to balance the imbalance of alteration. Time invaded and wreck took over. In pictures, we will take a little changes that took place in the stages he locked on, before his demise.
This is the original, “au naturel” Michael Jackson as he was in his younger years and still in the early phase of his soon-to-be astronomical
fame. He might not be the cute little boy he was in his Jackson 5 days, but then again no
teenage boy ever is! The point is, he still had the face his mother gave him
This is Mike a few years on, in his twenties – right around the time he was releasing hits like “BAD” and “Thriller”. He looks good, right?
Apparently he’d already had some work done at this point but any changes are pretty
minor. His skin has cleared up from those dreaded teenage pimple years we all suffer
through, and he still looks like the Mike everyone was quickly growing to know and love.
This photo was taken shortly after “Thriller” had taken the world by storm, and you can start to see some changes. This is also when he
started rocking that hairstyle that would eventually become synonymous with Michael
Jackson, and he would maintain his long hair pretty much for the rest of his life.
And BAM… the major change hits you like a slap in the face. Nothing could prepare people for the new look that Michael Jackson came out
with a few years down the line. It would be a long time before he would acknowledge any
comments on his appearance, not the least of which is the fact that he is several shades
lighter than he used to be.
For many of us, we consider it a downhill slope from here. His music is fantastic and his legacy is unmatchable, but his increasing addiction to plastic surgery will always be the second subject of Michael Jackson-related conversation after his music.
Oh yeah, and the third will be those unwarranted and completely ridiculous pedophilia accusations that so many celebrities have to deal with.
Mike always maintained he’d never had plastic
surgery (or that any work he’d had done was the result of a rare skin condition that
ultimately turned him from black to white) but it’s hard to ignore the drastic change in
the shape of his nose, the widening of his eyes, and the general distortion of his mouth.
A little ways down the road he actually looks slightly better than he did for a while there, but only because plastic surgeons have finally managed to turn him into the porcelain doll he was clearly striving to resemble. His jaw is defined, his facial features are all proportionate… but it’s not his face.
This is the final stage of Michael Jackson’s ever-changing looks, taken in the recent years before his unfortunate death. You would never have imagined that the face singing “ABC” would eventually be morphed into this face – not through age, but through cosmetic surgery.
True, he might not look his age, but it’s come at a cost. That being said, I don’t think youthful looks were ever the reason behind Mike’s plastic surgery problem.
Experts have used various methods (mainly facial simulator and face-aging technology) to ascertain what Michael Jackson WOULD have perhaps looked like at 50-years-old (the age he passed away) had he never dabbled in plastic surgery or had any kind of cosmetic procedures done.
You could argue that this man does indeed look a lot like the young black guy you see singing “BAD”, but I guess we’ll never know what he truly would have looked like!
