Spre sfârşitul verii şi începutul toamnei 2009, regizorul Brett Ratner, unul dintre bunii prieteni ai lui Michael Jackson, a postat pe You Tube un interviu pe care i l-a luat acestuia în anul 2002. Camera de filmare nu "porneşte" decât la minutul 2'10"...Alături de acesta, Ratner a postat şi un mic text:
To those people curious about if Michael was aware that the video camera was filming:Se poate vedea integral şi la adresa www.trilulilu.ro. Pentru că e ceva ciudat: cu toate că nu presupune drepturi de autor, a fost vânat deja de... nu ştiu exact de cine şi scos din multe locuri de pe You Tube. De ce? (întrebare retorică)
Several years ago Michael and I were in Florida vacationing and, early one morning Michael came into my room with HIS video camera and started to film and ask questions about my life and why i dreamed of becoming a director. He was always interested in people and curious about their hopes and dreams. After about an hour, I asked if I could interview him about his life and dreams. He said yes and handed me his camera. I then got a pen and piece of paper and wrote down some questions that I thought would be interesting. As I was reading the questions to him in the midst of the interview I realized that the camera wasn't on. So, I turned it on. I have hundreds of hours of footage of us hanging out, vacationing, dancing, and sharing our thoughts on life. This video was a very personal conversation between two friends that I wanted to share so that people would see his humanity and beautiful heart. The interview was transcribed and published with Michael's permission in Interview magazine several years ago. Please feel free to look it up. He was happy to share it and loved how it was a conversation between two friends and not a journalist prying into his private life. It is not for sale and never will be.
