Jaafar Jackson looked like the spitting image of his uncle Michael Jackson while filming the upcoming biopic Michael about the late musician on Saturday.
The 27-year-old actor was seen on set in downtown Los Angeles and dressed in a navy blue military jacket with gold details, inspired by the King of Pop's trademark style.
He sported black cropped trousers with stripes down the sides as well as tall socks and black loafers just like the music icon — who passed away at the age of 50 in 2009 — used to wear.
He also sported a pair of oversize aviator sunglasses as he transformed into his uncle to film the upcoming biopic titled Michael.
In recent weeks, Jaafar had also been seen filming on set in Hayvenhurst, the Jackson compound in Los Angeles' Encino neighborhood where Michael and much of his family lived beginning in 1971.
