According to reports, Michael's not-so-secret lovechild, Omer Bhatti, will be starring in a new biopic about his dad's rise to fame in the 80s.

The Sun says that Bhatti, who has denied being Michael's bio son in the past, was handpicked by the family to portray the pop star during his Off The Wall and Thriller days, but before the molestation accusations of the 90s and 2000s.

A pal told the paper, "The family is close to Omer, as Michael was. He is a fantastic performer and they would like him to play the adult Michael."

Bhatti is currently living with Michael's three children at the Jackson family compound in Los Angeles.
