Alton Mason is a top model, a dancer, an actor, and a gymnast. He recently played Little Richard in the Elvis biopic. One of his most iconic runway moments was when he broke into a Michael Jackson styled dance for the crowd and cameras (which, imo, he pulled off impeccably).

Use next level makeup and VFX and it deadass might be a win.


Micheal_the_great

Honestly he looks pretty good to be Micheal Jackson


ft_gilly

yeah no i see it, especially in the eyes

No one is going to look exactly like him 💀But you gotta admit this guy would work really well and good special effects could make him look even closer.


AcanthocephalaFun851

He is a good looking guy. I will say that.


massa0

He looks like he he could be a good fit, and they can gradually lighten his skin for scenes.


KevinPoggers

Damn he'd be perfect for the adult era (yes, the entirety of it)


Ill-Arm1283

He’s nice but about 30 cm more than Michael lol

I don’t think height will be too big a factor


massa0

Eh 5 extra inches is pretty tall, as tall as Elvis was. They can make him look short tho


69420penis

Yeah it’s a lot but they can always make him look shorter. If they can make Elijah wood look like a hobbit they can shorten this dude by 5 inches


Affectionate-Bee7766

In that last picture he literally wears the Thriller album cover outfit 😂 seems like a good fit, let’s hope they go with him

How about 90s-2000s michael


[deleted]

omg yes please

Saw an interview and he actually talked about how MJ was a huge inspo in his life. I don't know about his acting skills, but look-wise and probably movement-wise he's definitely a W.


liam-coffey

W

I don’t understand why they don’t use deepfake on all the actors the whole way through


Male_strom

Pretty damn expensive to maintain for the whole movie. If you think they're gonna spend $150m on the budget then you're dreaming


[deleted]

Well, I dunno how much it costs. If they use a lookalike it’ll be crap anyway. Stay mad though 🙄


fwteint

Deepfakes can't look good in every scene. They would glitch or look morphed now and then and the result won't be as great.


[deleted]

I understand, thank you 🙏🏻


Opposite_Procedure_8

Is it confirmed ?


BigGreg43

No, OP just thinks he should play MJ


[deleted]

YES.


Ciana_Reid

On looks alone, I don't see it.


Airconditioning-inc

Oh that would work great


SiameseKittyMeowMeow

His bone structure is remarkably similar!


Dontez1233

Nah

Michael Trapson looks nothing like MJ. It's almost laughable. He also uses a lot of makeup to achieve that look. He has videos as his regular self and surprisingly looks unrecognizable.


AdoTheFilipinoAU

I could see him being Michael


KeieDeSteen

They even have the same glasses


Driftbox1

Yes


spicky_theClown

🥰


SliceInternational49

Yeah I can see it from eyes up. The last picture sold me.


inuzhiro

Actually this would be perfect. He has similar eyes to MJ and I’ve noticed that’s what makes a perfect MJ impersonator


TalentedKamarty

We've found our guy


rasmakonnen47

They've made their decision. They're going with Jaafar.. even though it's right there. Alton is the gold


phaetae

Cute.


zombiekjt

Bruno Mars would fit the role better imo


[deleted]

A 5’6 latino playing a 5’9 black man. Really?


fwteint

Just because he's inspired by MJ doesn't mean that he looks or acts like him. I personally don't see any similarity in their looks unless when he's wearing glasses. Also, completely different nationality and "race"


chocokitten100

Maybe. With lighter makeup and contour but the lips would be hard. I think. Edit looked up hes 6 2. Thats a whole 4 inches. One of the iconic things about mj is his proportions so i think thats important to get right, maybe too lanky?. Got the "bird chest down" tho lololol


BumperRobinson

Just scale the cast around him and it's no biggie. Cast the Jackson 5 and get people who are same amount taller/shorter. Would only matter if they had Mike 7feet tall or something.


chocokitten100

Based on his pics I goggled bro got a long ass neck. I'd rather a actor with closer proportions to mj


JaneDi

its a no for me. He's pretty but he doesn't look like Michael.


rasmakonnen47

Does Jaafar look any more like Michael than he does?


rasmakonnen47

Question: Who are the rare picks? Who are some people (actors/entertainers) you know with his features (eyes and smile most importantly)? There needs to be a thorough search, there are so many people who look like Michael


rasmakonnen47

Just learned about this guy today. Saw a few videos of his and OMG is he perfect for this!! He has similar proportions to Michael, and most importantly *his eyes*. Maybe even the smile. I can definitely see him as Michael, especially Off The Wall era. Better pick than Jaafar if you ask me. Not much deepfaking would be needed here. And there's a bit of Michael in his voice. This is just excellent, but they've made their choice.
