Legendary musician Paul McCartney has reportedly refused to be depicted inside the eponymous biopic of the late Michael Jackson, as confirmed by local media outlets.
Despite the pair's hit collaborations in the 80s in tracks like Say Say Say and The Girl is Mine, it's clear that the musician wants nothing to do with the suspected 'pedophile,' citing obvious reasons.
"Paul just does not want his name associated with Michael, and the quicker people realize that, the better. He just has no interest in revisiting that chapter for obvious reasons- the post read.
Paul reiterated through his reps that he does not wish to be a part of the narrative at all, and that includes no likeness, no involvement, nothing at all.
The news has left many Jackson fans in shock, while others felt that it's a big disrespect for the late singer, who always held the iconic star in the highest regard. But insiders were quick to outline how Jackson's shocking purchase of the Beatles' music catalog in 1985 was a move that blindsided McCartney and shattered their friendship. Whether or not that has something to do with this is a question that remains.
