🚨 BREAKING NEWS: THE BOMB JUST EXPLODES FROM “LIVING WITH MICHAEL JACKSON”! – EMMANUEL LEWIS BREAKS SILENCE AFTER MORE THAN 20 YEARS, TELLS THE NEVER-TOLD TRUTH ABOUT THE KING OF POP!
In a recent interview, Emmanuel Lewis, the child star best known for his role in the classic sitcom Webster, opened up about his extraordinary friendship with the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Their bond, which began on the set of Jackson’s iconic Thriller music video, has remained strong over the years, filled with unforgettable moments and shared experiences that few have had the privilege to witness.
Lewis first met Jackson during the filming of Thriller, an event that would go down in music history. He recalls the excitement of being invited to the set, where he encountered Jackson in full zombie costume. “I met him on the set of Thriller,” Lewis shared. “He was performing the iconic dance, and I was just blown away. I had no idea at the time how monumental this moment would be.”
The day was filled with surprises for Lewis, who initially thought he was just going out for a regular night. His friend had planned the surprise, and Lewis was skeptical at first. “It was a school night, and I thought there was no way I was going to go anywhere,” he laughed. But when he arrived at the set and heard Jackson’s music, he quickly realized he was in for something special. “I could see Michael and all the zombies dancing, and I thought, ‘Wow, this is just dope!'”
As the filming progressed, Lewis caught Jackson’s attention. “He looked up and saw me on someone’s shoulders,” he recalled. “His assistant came over and said, ‘Michael would like you to come to the trailer to meet him.'” Lewis was hesitant at first, wanting his mother and friends to join him, but eventually, he made his way to Jackson, who greeted him warmly. “He was so nice and cool,” Lewis said, recalling their first encounter. “He told me he loved my show and wanted me to meet his family.”
The friendship blossomed from there, leading to many shared experiences, including visits to Jackson’s home. Lewis described one visit where he was introduced to Jackson’s mother and siblings. “I remember walking into the kitchen, and there was music playing. I just started dancing, and before I knew it, Janet Jackson joined in. We were having a dance-off right there in the kitchen!” This playful spirit was a hallmark of their friendship, filled with laughter and creativity.
As they grew closer, Lewis often accompanied Jackson to various events, including award shows. He vividly remembers the excitement of attending the Grammy Awards with Jackson during his prime. “It was fun getting ready for those shows,” Lewis said. “One time, Michael handed me his Grammy to hold, and it was so heavy! I ended up leaving it under my seat when we left.” Fortunately, they returned to find the award still there, much to their relief.
However, their friendship wasn’t without its challenges. Lewis spoke candidly about the difficulties Jackson faced, particularly during the allegations that surfaced against him. “He was very upset,” Lewis recounted. “To see something he loved—performing for kids—turned against him was heartbreaking. He loved children because he never had a proper childhood himself.”
Lewis stood by Jackson during these trying times, offering support and friendship. “I told him I would be there for him, no matter what,” he said. “But it was tough to see him go through that. He was innocent, and yet he was being accused of things that were completely untrue.” Lewis emphasized the pain of being wrongfully accused, a sentiment that resonates deeply, especially in today’s society.
The bond between Lewis and Jackson was not only built on shared experiences but also on mutual understanding. Both stars faced the pressures of fame from a young age, and their friendship provided a safe space to navigate the complexities of their lives. “We connected on so many levels,” Lewis explained. “We both had similar upbringings, and we loved comedy, dancing, and just having fun together.”
As time went on, Lewis witnessed the duality of Jackson’s life—the public icon and the private individual. “There were two Michaels,” he noted. “There was the sensational mega star that everyone loved, and then there was my big brother, the guy I hung out with.” This distinction allowed Lewis to appreciate Jackson’s humanity beyond the fame and fortune.
Tragically, their friendship was cut short when Jackson passed away in 2009. Lewis recalls the last time he saw Jackson, during rehearsals for the This Is It concert. “When I heard the title of the show, I immediately felt a sense of dread,” he said. “I knew how much energy Michael put into everything he did, and I feared something might happen.”
The loss of Jackson was profound for Lewis, who has continued to honor their friendship by sharing their story. “Michael was not just a friend; he was family,” he reflected. “He had a heart of gold and gave so much to people, especially in the nonprofit world. His legacy lives on through the lives he touched.”
In closing, Emmanuel Lewis’s reflections on his friendship with Michael Jackson offer a unique glimpse into the life of one of the most celebrated figures in music history. Their bond, forged in the glow of fame, was rooted in genuine affection and shared experiences that transcended the spotlight. As Lewis continues to share his story, he reminds us of the importance of friendship, loyalty, and the enduring impact of those we hold dear.
