After the breakout success of Michael, starring Jaafar Jackson, it has been confirmed that a sequel to the film is officially moving into production. While the upcoming sequel is expected to continue exploring the King of Pop’s extraordinary career, one question that has fascinated fans for decades has resurfaced: did Michael Jackson and his Thriller co-star, Ola Ray, have an off-screen romance?
The actress and former Playboy Playmate, who played Jackson’s girlfriend in the legendary 1983 Thriller music video, has repeatedly claimed that the chemistry viewers saw on screen wasn’t entirely scripted.
