totally off topic here :lol: just noticed that he tucks his shirt into his underwear ...
He certainly is very thin, as pictured here. He also looks a bit retarded in this picture, with his shirt tucked in his underwear, showing for everyone to see. And don't even get me started, on what he's wearing. However, just because he looks goofy as hell, in this picture, that doesn't make me doubt his intellect. Likewise, just because he looks incredibly shrunken, in this picture, that does not negate all the other 2009 pictures we have seen, in which he did NOT appear this emaciated.Michael is being photographed, here, in about the worst possible angle. This is the angle a woman might use, in order to make her hips look slimmer (not that I would know anything about such sly tricks). He also has a slim-fitting tshirt tucked tightly into his underwear (GOD, Michael), which continues to trim the line of his body, and one of his infamous hats on, which gives the impression his head is huge, compared to his body. And Michael kind of has a big ol' head, anyway, like all the Jacksons.Change his shirt, take off his hat, pull back his hair, and photograph him at another angle, and he will look pretty much like he did, in This Is It. As for the jacket photos, I cannot agree with his wardrobe choices. For whatever reason, he went with a designer who favors a very slim-fitting line, which maximizes the narrowness of his frame - the jacket(s) with the pointy shoulders were the worst, he looked like Jack the Pumpkin King. I think he's too skinny to be wearing this look, but he obviously liked it, and he's still beautiful, either way. But please...before you mourn his emaciation, consider that he had just made a purposeful switch to a style of dress which would accentuate his skinniness.I do think Mike was too skinny, at this point. But I also thought he was disturbingly skinny, about twenty years ago. He's got the type of mind-driven metabolism which responds too drastically to his changes in energy and focus. And to top it off, the man has just never made eating enough of a priority to get any significant fat stores, on him.Honestly, the biggest difference I see in Vintage Skinny Mike, and Modern Skinny Mike, is that he's now in his 50s, and pale as milk. A scrawny young man with brown skin will always look healthier than a scrawny 50 year old with ultra-pale, translucent skin.
I'm sure there's a better example, but this one's not bad, and only took a quick Google search:Michael Jackson, 21 years old, and in the prime of his life.Now, imagine his hips/torso turned, just a bit. Remove his skin pigmentation, and add the natural effects of thirty years of aging. Still see a huge difference? I see a big ol' head, skinny little body, thin arms, sharply-defined collarbone, bony hands...I see Michael, same as he ever was.

I don't see a huge difference. He had always been thin. Maybe he lost some weight due to the rehearsals routine, but I really can't say that he was looking anorexic/sick etc.
I knew I saw him exactly like that in the TII trailer (and film of course).When I saw him like that there, I thought - oh man, THIS is thin.So I made two screenshots of him doing quite the same thing - both from the TII trailer:He looks much healthier, stronger and less thin on the left pic, doesn't he?Left pic: 0:40 minRight pic: 1:15 minYou are not allowed to view links.
