How did this happen? I remember just yesterday that my friends and I took turns sporting his red zipper jacket and glove on the playground at elementary school. Michael Jackson 50?? How? Anyways, here is what he had to say about it when he sat down with GMA this morning.
Michael Jackson says he’s “having a wonderful time, just relaxing” as he celebrates his 50th birthday Friday.
“I feel very wise and sage, but at the same time very young,” he said in a phone interview with ABC’s Good Morning America Friday.
How will the King of Pop spend his birthday?
“Just have a little cake with my children and we’ll probably watch some cartoons,” he revealed.
The singer — who has two children, Paris Katherine, 9, and Prince Michael II, 5 — told GMA that he would like to release another album soon.
“I am writing all the time,” he said. “I love composing and the whole thing. But I am also raising my children and enjoying it and teaching them to ride bicycles and how to read. I love it.
“I get pretty emotional when I see them having a wonderful time,” he added. “When they are on a ride and they are screaming and they are happy… It makes me emotional, ’cause I see they are having a real good time.”
Jackson, born in Gary, Indiana, found fame in the late ’60s with his brothers as part of the Jackson 5 pop group and later as a solo artist in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. His 1980 album Thriller is the best-selling LP in history and he’s won 13 Grammy Awards.
Jackson said he can still do his famous dance moves — and “more” — and singled out Chris Brown for following in his footsteps.
He also said he hasn’t received his AARP card yet — “Not that I know of!” he joked. “You never know. They can find you wherever you are.”
