Living with Michael Jackson was a Granada Television documentary, in which British journalist Martin Bashir interviewed Michael Jackson over a span of 8 months, from the middle of 2002 to January 2003. It was shown first in the UK on ITV (as a Tonight special) on 3 February 2003 and in the US three days later on ABC. The revelations of Jackson's controversial personal life in the programme was one of the many factors that led to his trial for child molestation.Martin Bashir put the proposal to Jackson as a way to show the world the truth about him and "make nothing off limits." Jackson's decision to make the documentary was made on the suggestion by his close friend Uri Geller. It later emerged that Geller had turned down another 'bid' for the interview by 'faux-naïf' journalist Louis Theroux. The interview was very unusual, as it had been extremely rare for Jackson to allow such access to his personal life, or to talk so freely about his traumatic childhood. Nevertheless, he did show some reserve when asked to discuss other personal issues, such as the plastic surgery he has had.

Dec 20, 2008 - Bashir baits Michael, i do not like Bashir and it is people like him that make Michael reclusive more than he previously was. If a kind decent person had filmed that it would have made Michael think Gee the press aint so bad and I'm not going to be made fun of.

Dec 21, 2008 - Looking back on all of this I really wish Michael had not done this interview. I wish he had stuck to his guns and not trust this idiot. It just goes to show what a kind and sweet person he really is.

Dec 30, 2008 - Don't feed the trolls...
Vanesaal Says:
Dec 30, 2008 - Yes thas the word: they USED him, try to facture out of him, this Bashir man he got MJ saying that he had to do this interview because his daughter was very ill, and an interview with him will help his work, and give him money to help her, the guy even used his own daughter to buy MJ's trust its horrifying and sad.

y2jrocka Says:
Jan 6, 2009 - It's almost painful to watch. When Bashir pushes like a snivelling, uncaring cyborg about an obviously traumatic period of his childhood. God, I hate journalists thirst to make a story controversial.
