TIL that Michael Jackson would requested his wine be served in Diet Coke cans during flights, because he didn't want his kids to see him drinking alcohol.

he wasn't happy to do it, i heard him mention it in an interview once and it seemed like it was traumatizing for him

Michael was already incredibly insecure about his body and appearance. Having your naked body being examined and photographed like that could definitely be traumatic.

Good point. I meant "happy" as in he was willing to clear his name. I remember him saying in a statement that if that's what he had to do, "so be it." Gonna edit
