An interesting picture has surfaced from This Is It:
Do you see the two Michaels?
In June, shortly after Michael passed away, The Telegraph ran a story by Paul Theroux about his trip to Neverland and his conversation with Liz Taylor:
One day Michael suggested that he might drop by. Elizabeth said fine. He said: “May I bring my chimpanzee?” Elizabeth said, “Sure. I love animals.” Michael showed up holding hands with the chimp, Bubbles.
“We have been steadfast ever since,” Elizabeth said.
“Do you see much of Michael?”
“More of him than people realise – more than I realise,” she said.
There are theories circulating that Michael had a twin, or at the very least a double, who would cover for him frequently, most recently at the This Is It rehearsals.
Liz Taylor was one of Michael’s closest friends. Could she have been giving a very cryptic clue? Could she have been alluding to the idea that there was more than one Michael in this world?

All actors use stunt people if the scene could harm the actor. It’s required for insurance purposes and common sense. Everything comes to a halt if the star of the show is hurt.
it was a body double to be used in smooth criminal at the end where Mike was to jump through a glass window…so yes there was a double not a twin
Can you tell us where you got the information about the body double for Smooth Criminal from? Some people believe that there were a lot of doubles used throughout the movie, including scenes that didn’t require any stunts. What do you think?
