âI had worked with [sister] Janet so I knew the family a little bit,â he recalled, before sharing the strange request from Jacksonâs surgeon when they crossed paths.
âI actually was approached by a plastic surgeon, and he introduced himself and he said he was Michaelâs surgeon. He told me that Michael had requested my chin,â he said.
âIt turns out for a brief shining moment in the 80s, it was the most requested chin.â
A biopic of Jacksonâs life is currently in the works titled Michael, which will star nephew, Jaafar Jackson, as the late singer.

Last month, it was reported that the filmâs third act â which apparently depicts sexual abuse allegations against the singer â has been forced to reshoot.
Puck reports that the scenes hinge âspecifically on the impactâ of the case of 13-year-old Jordan Chandler, whose father Evan accused Jackson of abusing. The case reached a financial settlement in 1994.

Jacksonâs estate has allegedly signed an agreement that bans the case from being dramatised, and would render âseveral key scenes unusableâ.

The site reports that the film could be under threat if studio Universal refuses to sign off on the reshoots, though sources are âconfidentâ and âhopefulâ that it could be resolved before the planned October release date.
In other news, last summer Lowe revealed that he is working on the âearly stagesâ of a sequel to his 80s classic St. Elmoâs Fire.
âWeâve met with the studio and I have been talking about doing it for about four months,â Lowe told Entertainment Tonight, revealing that the success of documentary Brats about him and his fellow Brat Pack stars âonly added to the excitement around it.â
âBut itâs very, very, very, very, very early stages,â he added. âSo we will see.â
