Michael Jackson’s son Bigi made an unusual TV appearance on Monday’s episode of Good Morning Britain. The 19-year-old, who was previously known as Blanket, has mostly been kept out of the spotlight since his father died in 2009. Bigi, whose full name is Prince Michael Jackson II took part in an interview that took place at his brother Prince’s Thriller Night Halloween Party in California.
The teen opens up about his father during the chat, saying, “There’s a lot of history in this house and the studio here. That’s what he was all about. That’s what each of us wants to do and make things that people can enjoy and hopefully benefits their lives.” Bigi also discussed his passion for environmentalism ahead of the climate change COP26 conference. He stated, “I do think it’s important that we all know about it. I think we have some work to do but our generation knows how important it is.”
For unversed, Bigi was seven years old when his father Michael Jackson passed away from cardiac arrest brought on by a fatal combination of drugs given to him by his doctor. He and his elder siblings Prince, 24, and Paris, 23, were then raised by their grandmother Katherine Jackson. Bigi now resides in a home in Calabasas, California, which he purchased in early March last year.
Meanwhile, his sister Paris Jackson, 22, earlier purchased a $2 million home in Topanga, California, while his oldest brother Michael Jackson Jr., 23, selected a $2.2 million home in Rancho Palos Verdes. Back in 2012, Bigi spoke on the Jacksonology: Our Story documentary and said that he has no plans to follow in his father’s musical footsteps. He said, “Sometimes I would go in my dad’s room while he was getting ready for something and watch.”

Michael Jackson younger son Bigi also said that “He was a good dancer, he was a very good dancer. I can’t dance or sing… I’m not that kind of person who sings and dances… ‘When I grow up I want to be a director because it’s fun, and I make little movies when I’m at my house with cousins and friends and different things. He said it would be a good thing so follow whatever you want to do.”
