Jaafar Jackson, the nephew of the late Michael Jackson, was the spitting image of the late King of Pop as he filmed a scene for the upcoming biopic Michael on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old singer and dancer-turned-actor was spotted shooting a scene in which he drove a car while accompanied with a female actor.

The shoot was located at Hayvenhurst, the Jackson compound in Los Angeles' Encino neighborhood where Michael and much of his family lived beginning in 1971.

The scene appeared to have been set sometime in the 1970s, based on the Afro wig that Jackson wore and the vintage cars that had been assembled on the street for the shoot.

The production continued just a day after it was revealed that Kat Graham was joining the film to play Diana Ross.

Jaafar was spotted driving a black convertible, while a woman in a red outfit sat in the passenger seat.

Nia Long has been spotted on set with Jaafar in recent weeks as she portrays Michael's mother Katherine Jackson, but it was unclear who was in the car with him on Tuesday.

The back seat was taken up by a camera operator and his rig, which may have been positioned to catch the two actors speaking to each other from behind.

It wasn't clear from the angle of set photos if Jackson was actually driving, or if the car was being towed, as most actors are not in control of vehicles on film and television suits due to liability concerns.

Michael Jackson's nephew had on a white shirt, and he sported a mid-sized Afro and and large metal-frame sunglasses.

In February, Jaafar had been seen filming a scene that was presumably set in 1979 — the year that Jackson's classic album Off The Wall was released — as he stood in front of a wall dressed to match the album's cover.

Behind-the-scenes images from the film shoot revealed just how many workers were required to keep things running smoothly.

A team of several crew members were seen pushing a massive crane with a camera attached to the front, which would be able to move and capture shots from above of Jackson as he drove.

There also appeared to be several extras standing by a row of classic cars who were in period costumes.

They mingled with crew members who seemed to be giving them instructions. 

Although Hayvenhurst was at one time set to be sold, it appears to have stayed within the Jackson family, and Michael's daughter Paris Jackson has lived there.

The compound, which is situated in the San Fernando Valley, covers two acres and features multiple buildings, including a main house with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms over more than 10,000 square feet.

After moving away from the family home in Gary, Indiana, and living in various places around Los Angeles, Michael's father Joe Jackson purchased the property in 1971.

Michael continued to live at Hayvenhurst until 1987, when he purchased the Neverland Ranch.

The upcoming biopic, which is set to be released on April 18, 2025, costars Colman Domingo as Joe Jackson and Miles Teller as Michael's attorney and future estate executor John Branca. 

The film is expected to cover much of Michael Jackson's life, including allegations in the 1990s that he had sexually abused children.

In 1993, he was accused of sexually abusing the 13-year-old Jordan Chandler, whom he had befriended after renting a car from his stepfather.

Police investigated after Chandler told a psychiatrist that Jackson had abused him, though the investigation was dropped due to a supposed lack of evidence.

Chandler's family sued Jackson in September 1993, before reaching a settlement early the next year.

Afterward, the family stopped cooperating with police, leading to the closing of the investigation, and Jackson was adamant that he was innocent.

The film is said to deal with child abuse allegations leveled against Jackson in 1993 and in the 2000s, but Leaving Neverland director Dan Reed complained to Variety this month that a draft of the screenplay was 'startlingly disingenuous'; Jackson seen in 1993 at Super Bowl XXVII

In 2003, Jackson was charged with multiple counts of child sexual abuse and administering intoxicants to commit child sexual abuse, which he denied. He went on trial in 2005, and he was acquitted on all charges on June 13, 2005

Earlier in March, Dan Reed, who directed the documentary Leaving Neverland about the child sexual abuse allegations that dogged Jackson, called the upcoming biopic 'startlingly disingenuous' after reading a draft of its screenplay.

'Jackson is only ever seen caring for children with childhood cancer, or dancing with a little girl in a wheelchair, or tucking up multiple little boys, mostly his nephews, at sleepovers,' Reed told Variety. 'It feels like the creators of the movie have been stuck in a room with John Branca and just told what to write.' 

Directed by Antoine Fuqua with a screenplay written by John Logan.
