Jackson offered to do Men in Black for free
Michael Jackson offered to star in hit 1997 movie Men In Black for free, until he realised it wasn't a heartwarming family tale, but a hard-hitting sci-fi action film.
The King of Pop approached director Barry Sonnenfeld with a view to making his big feature film debut, according to Jackson's former PR guru Bob Jones, who has written a new book with journalist Stacy Brown.
