By Clarencia Cynrae on October 24th, 2009



Michael Jackson “This Is It” contained a body double. Joe Jackson and La Toya Jackson have allegedly accused Sony Pictures of fooling Jackson fans by using impersonators for some parts of the movie.

One British impersonator claimed he was asked to act as a body double for Jackson even before his death.

Joe Jackson allegedly said “This Is It” used body doubles. Jeffre Phillips, La Toya’s business manager, said he suspected impersonators were used as Michael Jackson wasn’t well enough.

Navi Parasram, 36, is a Michael Jackson impersonator who lives in Essex. Parasram told that he was asked to long shots, placements and visuals as Jackson but he refused to take the job.

Sony Pictures has refused to comment on the claims that Jackson body doubles were used in the movie.
