Yes he was. He was also an amazing singer, songwriter and dancer so we can let him off for most of it. They say there's a fine line between genius and madness and Michael straddled that line like a champion, giving his pet chimp throat implants to help him speak English one day and releasing Bad the next
Below is a timeline of Michael Jackson's life showing some of the stranger things that were said about him. I'm sure not all of them are true and unfortunately now he's dead I can't ask him so you will have to make your own mind up whether Jacko really was wacko. (He was)
The first time we see evidence of Michael's shape shifting abilities as he becomes a werewolf and a zombie, in later years he would also become a white version of himself and also Corey Feldman.
Turning into a zombie, scaring your date and then turning back to normal and comforting your date after her "bad dream" would become the most popular way to get laid in the mid 80's
Michael Jackson's hair catches fire during a Pepsi commercial, conspiracy theorists believe this photo showing Michael drinking a leading competitor's drink may have been behind the incident.
After trying to stop gang violence previously in his career, Michael decides that if he can't "Beat It" he may as well join it and starts his own gang that shouts and runs around in car parks causing trouble.
Gets a pet chimp named Bubbles who likes to throw poo around the house and attack people. Michael's own sister revealed that Michael had been looking into whether he could do something to bubble's throat to allow him to speak. Bubbles was pleased to hear that it wasn't possible.
Michael Jackson surprises everyone by suddenly being white instead of Black. Luckily he releases a song to tell us that it doesn't matter if he's black or white.
Dangles his baby over a balcony and then hides behind the curtain like a ghost. When putting your baby's life in danger to show it off to a crowd you would think the blanket could be removed from the babies face, it kind of makes the gesture a bit pointless otherwise.
Just before his big comeback tour, Michael is found dead, some people think he was murdered, others think it was fake and he is still around in a similar way to Elvis. Lets face it, with Michael's various faces over the years he could be anywhere and anyone now, your new neighbour, your teacher, the man stood behind you in the post office.
