‘Wow’: Users Reacted to Grown-Up Bigi Jackson, Saying ‘He Looks like His Dad!’ – Stunning Transformation

Michael Jackson’s three children grew up under extraordinary circumstances. As the children of one of the most famous figures in music history, their upbringing was marked by privilege and intense privacy. After their father’s passing in 2009, each sibling took a different path, gradually stepping into their own identities.

Despite their different paths, public interest in their lives has never waned. Among the three siblings, Bigi has remained the most elusive. However, when rare images or appearances of him surface, they tend to spark widespread discussion. Here’s a look into the lives of the Jackson siblings, beginning with the eldest.

Prince Jackson — The Protective Oldest Sibling

As the eldest of Michael’s three children, Prince, who was just 12 at the time of his father’s passing, became the leader of their family. Michael had always encouraged Prince to act as a protector for his younger siblings, Paris and Bigi.

Michael had instilled in him the importance of family unity, often reminding him, “Make sure the group is taken care of.” In the years that followed, Prince embraced that responsibility.

While Prince initially saw himself as the leader due to his father’s guidance, he later realized that each sibling brought unique strengths to the family. In an interview, he shared that he no longer feels like the “leader” but sees himself as equal to his brother and sister.

He has publicly acknowledged that, although he is the oldest, his siblings have supported him as much as he has supported them. Describing their bond, Prince once said, “My siblings honestly picked up the slack that I unfortunately left behind.”

While many assumed Michael’s children would follow in his footsteps and pursue music careers, Prince took a different route. Instead of music, he focused on media production. In 2016, he founded King’s Son Productions, a name that subtly references his father’s famous title, the “King of Pop.”

He aimed to produce content from behind the scenes rather than in front of the camera. Prince began building his portfolio by producing music videos. One of his early projects was the video for Omer “O-Bee” Bhatti’s “Automatic.”

Over time, his passion for production evolved into a broader interest in philanthropy and social impact. Continuing his father’s legacy of compassion, Prince co-founded the Heal Los Angeles Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on improving the lives of underserved youth in Los Angeles.

The foundation offers educational programs that teach academic and life skills, aiming to give young people the tools to succeed. Prince has shared that his father deeply influenced his passion for giving back.

Prince, who has a passion for biking also plays a role in his siblings’ creative pursuits. He has worked with Bigi on a YouTube project and has supported Paris in her music career.

Paris Jackson — The Independent Middle Child

She was just 11 when she faced the loss of her father. Michael’s death was a life-changing event that divided her childhood into before and after.

Paris Jackson’s early teenage years were difficult as she battled for self-discovery. She struggled with mental health issues, which led to multiple attempts to take her life. By the time she was 15, she had entered treatment, beginning a long process of recovery.

In interviews, she has spoken about how her father’s death left a lasting impact on her sense of security and identity. However, she has always been vocal about her desire to create her own path, separate from her father’s legacy.

Paris chose to be in front of the camera, embracing a career in music, modeling, and acting. In 2017, she signed a modeling contract with a major agency, marking her first big step into the public eye as an adult. However, music remained her true passion.

Her music has been described as raw and authentic, reflecting personal experiences and emotions. Her creative work reflects her pursuit of freedom and self-expression and solidified her place as the most public-facing of the Jackson siblings.

With her chosen career path, her visibility comes with scrutiny. While some might struggle with the pressure, Paris has found a way to maintain control over her image and career.

She has spoken openly about dealing with negative criticism, revealing a perspective rooted in self-assurance. “You’re on their mind — how is that a bad thing?” she said when asked about public criticism.

“Doesn’t matter if they’re saying good or bad things about you. They’re thinking about you enough to write about you,” Paris added. But she admitted it wasn’t always easy to have such a mindset. “It gets to a point where you realize not everybody is going to be happy with what you do,” she shared.

Additionally, Paris maintains her independence, making it clear that she wants to be known for her accomplishments rather than as Michael Jackson’s daughter.

Paris lives on her terms and recently got engaged to her boyfriend, Justin Long. Following her is the youngest Jackson sibling, Bigi, whose evolution from childhood to adulthood has sparked widespread attention and comparisons to his famous father.

Bigi Jackson — The Quiet Youngest Son With a Striking Transformation

Bigi Jackson, originally known as Prince Michael Jackson II, was introduced to the world by his father under the nickname “Blanket.” The name, which Michael said symbolized love and protection, became a defining part of Bigi’s early childhood identity.

But as he grew older, the nickname became a source of unwanted attention. By 2015, Bigi decided to leave the “Blanket” nickname behind, opting to be called “Bigi.” Reports suggested that bullying related to the unusual nickname influenced his decision.

Bigi has made very few public appearances, which is why his televised interview for COP26 drew so much attention in 2021. During the interview, Bigi spoke about climate change, but his growth and transformation captivated the public.

Having last been seen publicly as a boy, Bigi’s appearance as a mature young man left many people surprised. Fans were quick to share their thoughts online, with many stunned by how much he had grown.

One fan exclaimed, “Wow! He is grown up!!” Another remarked, “OMG, he’s a big boy now.” Many of the reactions centered around his resemblance to his father, Michael Jackson. One user noted, “He looks like his dad! First I’ve seen him since he was a little Blanket. I’m always going to wonder who his mother is though.”

Others quickly pointed out how much Michael Jackson would have been proud of his children. One fan wrote, “So handsome just like his dad! His dad would be so proud of his children!” Another said, “Wow, he’s so mature & handsome! His dad would be so proud.”

While Bigi maintains a low public profile, he is passionate about film. He and his older brother Prince launched a YouTube channel in 2019 where they review movies. Unlike his brother, who has a more outgoing on-camera presence, Bigi approaches the reviews with quiet confidence and analytical insight.

Prince praised Bigi’s film knowledge, saying, “My brother has a really unique talent to be able to tell you, even a movie he hasn’t seen, what year it came out. He knows the director, the staff, the crew — everybody behind it that you wouldn’t know.”

This passion for film was no accident. Reports have suggested that Michael encouraged his children to explore creativity, hiring a film teacher for them at a young age.

Bigi’s  hasn’t stopped fans from speculating about his future. While his siblings have clear paths in music, production, and modeling, Bigi’s journey remains more of a mystery.
