Washington, October 27 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s choreographer Kenny Ortega has said that he wanted the pop legend to increase his diet.
In fact, he even ensured the King of Pop had dishes around him, while rehearsing for the comeback O2 concert.
“I wished he would have eaten more. I was always making sure there was plenty of food around,” Contactmusic quoted him as telling a British newspaper.
“I would unwrap his plate and slide it over in front of him. But I didn’t feed him,” he added.
Ortega also insisted that he never came to know Jackson was in drugs.
He said: “I’d been to his home. I’d seen him playing with his children, and never saw any evidence ever of anything like that.” (ANI)
