Michael Jackson met … Michael Jackson — and yeah, it got a little surreal at the AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards in L.A.!

In a TikTok clip, MJ content creator Fabio Jackson linked up with Jaafar Jackson — who’s playing his legendary late uncle in the upcoming biopic, “Michael” — and the moment was equal parts hilarious and uncanny.
Fabio pulled up in full “Thriller” mode, leaning in for a handshake with Jaafar … who fans clocked in the comments as looking fully caught off guard by the moment.
Honestly, it was giving double vision … and it probably would’ve broken the internet if Jaafar had shown up in the same iconic fit.
That said, no need for any impersonator panic — Jaafar’s got the real gig locked down, fronting the biopic set to drop this weekend!
