Brooke Shields has spoken about Michael Jackson calling her friend a “Genius” in a recent interview for the magazine “Healthy Living”.
Here the part of the interview related to Michael:
Healthy LivinG: What about Michael Jackson? It’s extremely rare to have a person in your life of a such consequence such as Michael Jackson, as it was becoming clear with time that Michael Jackson’s art will survive us all. Did you feel at the time how special he was and how his legacy would continue?
Brooke Shields: He was a unique genius. He was sort of a miracle in many ways with regard to his capacity and his talent. So, I think that I was very aware of his uniqueness. But I was also aware of his sensitivity and the way his heart worked. He was a really polite, sweet, sweet person. Just innately, we both realized that we could trust each other. That is something in the entertainment industry very hard to find.
Healthy LivinG: And very hard to survive with a sensitive personality, in a harsh world of entertainment.

Brooke Shields: The world itself is pretty harsh, I have to say. The entertainment world is just one of the areas it gets played out more publicly. But it definitely is hard out there. The world is [not] soft. I mean I have two little girls who are growing up in it and I’m desperate to protect them and give them the strength to be able to be confident in their ownthem selves and be able to stand up for themselves.
