IT'S NOT MICHAEL :? The celebrity photographer and artist David LaChapelle had always wanted to take a portrait of Michael Jackson, and nearly did: several shoots were lined up and cancelled as Jackson grew increasingly wary. “Photographers weren’t nice to him,” says LaChapelle. “He got scared.” After Jackson’s death LaChapelle decided to pay tribute, photographing a young lookalike in Hawaii, just outside his own home: a 25-acre ranch on the coast, three hours from the nearest shop. He moved there three years ago, turning his back on lucrative contracts with Vanity Fair, Italian Vogue and Rolling Stone. The “devil” in red is a friend who performs in the Cirque du Soleil. The image forms part of a trilogy inspired by Mexican saint cards. LaChapelle is convinced that Jackson was innocent of paedophilia.“I don’t think he was capable of hurting anyone,” he says. “I think there’s something really biblical about what happened. His lyrics are so naive and so beautiful. It’s one of the most epic stories of our time, to go from such heights to such depths. He’s a modern-day martyr.”
I was gonna say, before I read all the posts, that once again you can tell it is not MJ becaue the person who posed for these pictures is bow legged....MJ is very very knock kneed and MJ's feet flay out to the sides when he stands...plus MJ has thick upper legs usually even when he is at his thinnest, his thighs never look too thin like this guy. LOL....MJ is a pear shape...LOL,

I'm an artist with a very detail oriented brain...I pick up on the pieces rather than the whole...I actually have a hard time focusing out to notice the whole picture sometimes...Oh, well...that just makes me me... by the way...MJ is very knock kneed and it's adorable...He made fun of himself in his book about it and I'll post a good pic that shows it...they are hard to find because he has a way of walking to cover it in front of the camera...
About the beautification photo....the first thing I think of is Roman Catholicism and process to becoming a canonized saint. The two symbols of the dove and watch are indicators to this process as it takes time to become canonized and the dove indicating the Holy Spirit.This artist has many religious pieces.....including a modern day "Last Supper". I wonder if the artist is Catholic?
