michael jackson was terribly burned in a pepsi ad. It seems like he started really changing himself after this accident.

MJ could have been wearing costumes, masks, or doing other things to cause identity confusion. I wonder if he was using doubles at times, to distract away from his kids to protect them. So it is not a new thing to see him with almost white skin. I think other people have lightened their skin with chemical peels, for different reasons. I have a friend who had burns over most of his body from an accident when he was a kid and it caused him skin problems his entire life because the damaged skin does not grow right, and he always had to have skin grafts.

From the late 1980s, Jackson became a figure of controversy and speculation due to his changing appearance, relationships, behavior and lifestyle. https://en.wikipedia.org/w...
