Brooke Shields talks about her friendship with Michael Jackson in her new documentary

In a new documentary “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields”, which premiered Friday at the Sundance Film Festival, the model and actress opens up like never before about her life and career.

In a tell-all-documentary, Brooke Shields takes us to her life and career journey with ups and downs. Choking revelations, hard to watch at times, the child, star now 57, is going deeply into her struggles, loves and friendships.

While the documentary unpacks topics such as her beloved mother’s struggles with alcoholism, a previously undisclosed sexual assault, and the controversial nude scenes she performed onscreen as a child, she also talks about her friendship with Michael Jackson.

Like many things in her life, the friendship has been misreported and misrepresented. In the documentary, Shields maintains that the two never dated or had a sexual relationship.

Brooke met Michael when she was 13 and the two became friends. They were both child stars shouldering an enormous amount of responsibility, but Brooke says what connected them most was that, even as teenagers and later adults, they were both “very childlike.” Despite her public image as a sex symbol, Shields says she wasn’t “in touch” with her sexuality until much later in life. Brooke and Michael were “both quite juvenile in some ways and mature in others,” she explains.

Brooke describes times they would make plans to go out for dinner and the paparazzi would already be waiting, implying that Michael would tip them off so they could be photographed together.

As we did not see the documentary ourselves yet, we read over a dozen reviews which helped us compile the above. Brooke has always been very positive about Michael Jackson despite their differences after Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Michael Jackson in 1993.

Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields will premiere on Hulu later this year.
