• It was obvious that Michael Jackson was very childish and often found ways to regain his lost childhood. He collected mannequins of children and even built a zoo and a theme park in his ranch, The Neverland. Among his unusual collection is a 6-foot replica of Snow White as well as a replica of Main Street in his home.
• For a star so popular, you would have thought Michael Jackson would take a plunge into the Hollywood stream; however, in his lifetime, he only starred in two movies: Wiz, where he played the role of the Scarecrow, and as Captain EO in Disneyland’s 3D film. He was last featured in his post-humous documentary titled This Is It.
• Amidst his hectic schedule, Michael Jackson still found time to watch toons, just as a kid would. His favorite cartoon superhero character is Morph from the X-Men.

• 

  If you are a philatelist or a stamp collector, you should add Michael Jackson postage stamps to your collection. The only place where you can find them is at Saint Vincent in the Caribbean.

Among his pets include a snake named Muscles, a ram named Tibbs, a pair of deers named Prince and Princess, another pair of llamas named Louis and Lola, a giraffe, zebra and 4 black swans.
