Jackson pernah menyatakan bahwa sejak kecil ia mengalami kekerasan dari
ayahnya, baik secara fisik maupun mental, seperti latihan yang tak henti-henti,
cambuk, dan memanggilnya dengan panggilan kasar. Namun demikian, ia juga
mengakui bahwa kedisiplinan yang diterapkan ayahnya membawa pengaruh besar
bagi kesuksesannya. [3][4]Marlon Jackson menceritakan, pernah dalam suatu
perselisihan, Michael diangkat terbalik kemudian dipukuli di punggung dan
pantatnya.[5] Pernah pula di suatu malam, ketika Michael sedang tidur, Joseph

penampilan Elvis Presley dan The Beatles danamThe Ed Sullivan Show. The New
York Times menulis, "The moonwalk that he made famous is an apt metaphor for his
dance style. How does he do it? As a technician, he is a great illusionist, a genuine
mime. His ability to keep one leg straight as he glides while the other bends and
seems to walk requires perfect timing." (Indonesia: "Moonwalk yang telah
membuatnya terkenal adalah perubahan yang tepat dalam gaya menarinya.
Bagaimana dia melakukannya? Sebagai seorang teknisi, ia adalah ilusionis yang
hebat, badut (mime) yang sesungguhnya. Kemampuannya untuk membuat satu kaki
lurus sambil menggesernya, sementara satu kaki lainnya menekuk, membuatnya
terlihat berjalan, membutuhkan ketepatan waktu yang sempurna."[25]
198485: Pepsi, We Are the World, dan karier bisnis

mengobati luka bakarnya ini, Jackson memberikan $1,5 juta kepada Brotman
Medical Center di Culver City, California, sehingga rumah sakit itu dapat membeli
peralatan penyembuhan luka bakar berteknologi paling tinggi ketika itu; Brotman
kemudian mengubah nama kamar perawatan luka bakarnya menjadi "Michael
Jackson Burn Center" untuk menghormati Jackson.[26] Setelah kejadian ini, Jackson
mulai memperhatikan penampilan dan mengoperasi plastik hidungnya. [17]

Pada 14 Mei 1984, Jackson diundang ke White House untuk menerima

dan "Say Say Say", keduanya mulai menjalin persahabatan dan saling mengunjungi
satu sama lain. Pada suatu diskusi, McCartney menceritakan kepada Jackson
bagaimana ia mendapatkan jutaan dolar dari katalog musik; ia mendapatkan sekitar

Selama masa mudanya, Jackson memiliki kulit coklat, namun sejak awal tahun
1980-an, kulitnya tampak semakin memutih. Perubahan warna kulit ini memancing
pertanyaan media dan memunculkan rumor-rumor, di antaranya rumor yang
mengatakan bahwa Jackson sengaja memutihkan kulitnya (bleaching)[7]. Menurut
biografi yang ditulis oleh J. Randy Taraborrelli, pada tahun 1986, Jackson
didiagnosis menderita vitiligo dan lupus; penyakit vitiligo membuat kulitnya terlihat
putih di beberapa bagian. Kedua penyakit ini mengakibatkan Jackson sensitif
terhadap sinar matahari. Perawatan yang diberikan kepada Jackson untuk
penyakitnya tersebut turut mengakibatnya kulitnya semakin memutih.[33] Selain
perubahan pada warna kulit, ia juga diketahui melakukan operasi plastik pada
bagian hidung, jidat, bibir, dan tulang pipi.[34]

menggambarkan Jackson sedang tidur di hyperbaric oxygen chamber, dan
mengatakan bahwa Jackson tidur di situ untuk memperlambat proses
penuaan.[38] Jackson membeli seekor simpanse bernama Bubbles dari sebuah
laboratorium, dan pada tahun 2003 ia mengklaim bahwa Bubbles bisa menggunakan
toilet dan membersihkan kamarnya sendiri.[38] Jackson juga dikabarkan menawar
tulang Joseph Merrick, si "Manusia Gajah", seharga $1 juta.[39] Laporan itu melekat
dalam ingatan masyarakat, dan menginspirasi nama panggilan "Wacko Jacko"
(Jacko Sinting), yang kemudian sering disingkat sebagai "Jacko" di headline tabloid.
Seorang biografer pada tahun 2004 mengatakan bahwa rumor-rumor tersebut di
ciptakan oleh bagian publikasi Jackson sendiri untuk tujuan promosi.[40]. Jackson
mengatakan kepada reporter:

Mengapa Anda tidak melaporkan saja ke masyarakat bahwa saya adalah

alien dari Mars. Bilang kepada masyarakat bahwa saya memakan ayam
hidup-hidup, dan melakukan tarian voodoo di malam hari. Tentu masyarakat
akan percaya dengan yang Anda katakan karena Anda adalah seorang
reporter. Tetapi bila saya, Michael Jackson, yang mengatakan, "Saya adalah
alien dari Mars, saya memakan ayam hidup-hidup, dan saya melakukan
tarian voodoo di malam hari," masyarakat akan berkata, "Ya ampun, Michael
Jackson sudah gila, dia hancur. Lebih baik kamu tidak mempercayai
ucapannya."[41]

setelah vakum selama lima tahun.[42] Total penjualan album yang banyak ditunggu
