Michael Jackson’s dad has accused producers of using body doubles of his son in new movie, This Is It.
Joe Jackson says the makers of the concert flick, which features the singer’s final rehearsals for his comeback tour, have tricked viewers.
“This movie features body doubles, no doubt about it,” Joe Jackson told a UK newspaper.
He added “I think people will tear this movie apart.”
A representative for distributors of This Is It said that wasn’t true.
“This report is pure garbage,” said Steve Elzer of the Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group.
Jackson died on June 25 as he prepared for a string of concerts in London.
This Is It hits cinemas tomorrow.
The King of Pop used doubles during pyrotechnic routines at 1997 shows, sources told the publication.
