Miles Teller’s unrecognizable transformation for the upcoming Michael Jackson movie has created a stir on internet.

The 38-year-old will be playing the role of Jackson’s longtime manager and lawyer, John Brance.

Teller completely changed his outlook for the character as he grew his hair to shoulder length and can be seen wearing facial prosthetics in the viral photos.

The Top Gun: Maverick star has finally addressed the ongoing chat going on over his look.

"It's just a wig. I'm like, not online too much, but some people were telling me”, he said.

Miles further spilled some inside details about the film saying that “people are going to freak out” when they see Jaafar Jackson, playing the King of Pop, in the film.

“We did some stuff. Honestly, that hair and makeup team, the attention to detail, obviously, the Michael estate is heavily involved.”

The Whiplash actor told ScreenRant’s Liam Crowley, “Jafaar, his nephew who is playing Michael, people are going to freak out. He put so much... He had so much natural Michael Jackson DNA in him, but the time he put in, like several years before cameras started rolling.”

Teller confessed that he is also excited for the people to watch the film.

Musical drama Michael is slated to release on April 24, 2026.
