A well-known British, but controversial journalist, Martin Bashir, wanted to make a film about the life of Michael Jackson. In the middle of the production, the King of Pop music had a hard time. It turns out that it's not so fast and takes a lot of time.

The first location was Neverland Ranch, where everyone is happy and never grows up, at least not Michael. At the age of 44, he was still the same sweet and charming boy at heart, who was interested in the world and everything around him. His heart is saturated with love, care and kindness to others. And these are the most wonderful feelings.

While in the great hall with the entire film crew, the journalist asked Jackson about his childhood. However, for the legendary Pop icon, it was difficult and painful to remember. Sitting in an easy chair, he stared at the floor somewhere, or studied the fabric of a satin red shirt, trying not to show his fear and pain. But suddenly Martin Bashir asked the most undesirable question for discussion.

Did your father ever beat you?

Yes... He said in a vulnerable voice.

You hated him?

Yes, of course. Joseph didn't understand how much he could hurt me. He never even let me call him "daddy," only "Joseph."

How did he beat you?

Um... He always had a belt in his hand during rehearsals in the studio. And you know, he could hit one of us really hard. I got the least amount of abuse because I was the example. He would stand up and say, "Do it like Michael. Do it like Michael."

Did he use anything other than a belt?

Michael covered his face with his palm and looked away, trying not to cry.

Suddenly, a soft voice came from the hallway, and the interview was interrupted.
