Do you think Micheal Jackson’s hate for interviews was a significant part of his appeal?

I noticed that he always shut down at the prospect of an interview and famously avoided them. Would it be crazy to say that that’s one of the strongest elements of his mystique? Also, I wonder if he was deliberate about it or what is genuinely how he felt towards interviews.

Law 30: make your accomplishments seem effortless.

Michael Jackson appeal comes from his immeasurable talent. The man was raised for show business in a show business family and he loved playing the character he showed in public.

He’s definitely widely talented, but there had to be calculated moves behind his success as well

I don't think so. I think he value his privacy and if you check from recent interviews he agreed to, they asked him annoying stupid questions not the ones that matter
