Gest spoke with classy paper the UK Sun about his close pal of 40 years, making sure to note up front that they met because Gest had a “crush” on Michael’s sister Latoya, but when Latoya had the flu he took 12-year-old Michael out on a date instead.
He also reveals several astounding (and spurious) items about Jacko, such as:
- – He liked KFC, Eminem and Beyoncé.
- – He loved haggling over prices
- – “People always think of him as talking in that high, soft voice, but he didn’t really speak like that — it was a facade.”
- – “The Michael I knew talked like a real man, acted like a real man and shook a hand like a real man.”
We downright refuse to believe that he liked Eminem, or that the voice was fake.
Gest also talks about how he and Michael shared a great insecurity over how they looked, and how they both probably went overboard with the plastic surgery (no shit?). Of his wedding photos with Liza, he says, “Michael, Liza, Elizabeth Taylor and I looked like the friggin’ Adams Family in those wedding pictures. They are really scary to look at, but Michael made a very touching speech.”
