Brooke Shields Recalls Special Relationship with Michael Jackson
Rolling Stone ^ | 7/7/09, 5:28 pm EST

Posted on 07/07/2009 2:44:13 PM PDT by lewisglad

A teary Brooke Shields approached the podium at Michael Jackson’s public memorial in Los Angeles today and spoke about the unique friendship the two shared as 1980s megastars thrust into the spotlight at a young age. In the special Michael Jackson commemorative issue of Rolling Stone hitting stands this week, the model-actress reveals the King of Pop asked her to marry him — more than once.

“I would say, ‘You have me for the rest of your life, you don’t need to marry me, I’m going to go on and do my own life and have my own marriage and my own kids, and you’ll always have me,’ ” Shields tells Rolling Stone. “I think it made him relax. He didn’t want to lose things that meant something to him.”

Shields says the innocent nature of the pair’s bond persisted as they grew older, and that as he aged, Jackson became “more asexual” to her. “You saw women who were more sexual, who wanted to throw themselves at him and feel like they were going to teach him,” she recalls, “we just found each other, and we didn’t have to deal with our sexuality.” Shields tells RS her conversations with Jackson about her relationships revealed a lot about how Jackson insulated himself from the outside world. “As I grew up and started having boyfriends, I would share with him, and he was like a little kid who talked about the bases — what first base was, what second base was, and it sounded very odd to the outside, I can imagine, but to the inside, to someone who’s never really left his bubble, you can understand how he would be curious.”

I think any relationship with Michael would have been a bit “special,” in the sense of being somewhat unusual.

how many of you knew she posed nude for Playboy at the age of 10?

really? i had no idea... and i used to follow her career way back to the time she was 12... she and i are the same age, and we were both Catholic... that sparked my interest as a young girl...

The few minutes I watched this morning was Shields and I don’t think I’ve ever seen her better looking.

i found her tribute very touching... i liked that she quoted from The Little Prince...

Just wondering... does anyone know if Brooke was around, (supporting him, defending him) when Jackson was going thru his trial?

Yes, she did. I distinctly remember her saying, “I cannot believe what is happeneing to one of the kindest people I have ever known.” Also Paul McCartney stated that he really could not imagine Michael Jackson doing that. Lisa Presley also spoke is his defense after they were divorced. The Hangers-on like Liz Tayloe never publicly said they believed him.
