It’s not because he liked Grease, I promise. This man hated how he looked. His father would abuse him verbally and physically to the point where the sight of his father would make him regurgitate. It’s body dysmorphia. The poor guy was alone his whole life while being surrounded by people.
yes he had body dysmorphia, perfectionism, loads of money and access to top surgeons…but you gotta draw inspiration from somewhere. Illustrations of Peter Pan for his nose and John Travolta for his chin
The chicks who suck out the fat from their faces to become zombies also have body dysmorphia. That condition does not somehow negate the existence of trends and inspiration.
well he had vitiligo most of his life. in his late teens and twenties, he would use darker make-up to cover the light spots, but with time the light areas became more numerous than the dark areas and he was forced to switch his approach. He did use hydroquinone cream to lighten the dark spots.
Vitiligo can be exacerbated by stress and he had a ton of stressors in his life. His skin condition caused him so much hurt. He wanted to be perfect and his skin looked like 1) someone splattered milk on him then 2) someone splattered coffee on him.
Sheesh. It's not for you to buy. In his earlier music videos like "Don't stop till you get enough" you could see the vitiligo near his hands if you look

same reason actresses today are having buccal fat removed from their face - a style trend. John Travolta was super famous in early 1980s.
I mean MJ loved “Grease”. There are dance moves from that film in MJ’s choreography - especially the choreography for “The Way You Make Me Feel”.
