Marlon Brando : "It's reasonable to conclude that Michael Jackson may have had something to do with kids.”

A revealing conversation has emerged between Marlon Brando and Michael Jackson, in which the actor recounts Jackson’s reaction to the sexual abuse allegations brought against him in the early ’90s.

During an interview between Brando and prosecutors during Jackson’s 1994 trial, the actor recalled a conversation he’d had with Jackson at his Neverland Ranch.

“We were talking about human emotions and where it all comes from. I could see from the way he behaved — he talked like that, and he speaks in a very peculiar way for a man who is as old as my oldest son, 35. And he didn’t want me to swear,” the actor said.

“I had asked him if he was a virgin and he sort of laughed and giggled, and he called me Brando,” the actor added. “He said, ‘Oh, Brando.’ I said, ‘Well, what do you do for sex?’ And he was acting fussy and embarrassed.”

Brando said he had asked Jackson if he masturbated, then told prosecutors that the singer “lives in a completely different world.”

The “A Streetcar Named Desire” star also talked with Jackson about what motivates people. Jackson “didn’t hold real emotions,” Brando said, and that affected his ability to act.

“He said he hated his father and started to cry. So I pulled back. I started to tiptoe. I realized that he was in trouble with his life because he was living in a never-never land, and he couldn’t [swear], and for a 35-year-old man not to do that, being around people in show business, seemed very odd,” Brando said.

“And I said, ‘Well, who are your friends?’ He said, ‘I don’t know anybody my own age. I don’t like anybody my own age.’ I said, ‘Why not?’ He said, ‘I don’t know, I don’t know.’ He was crying hard enough that ... I tried to assuage him. I tried to help him all I could.”

Brando told prosecutors he originally thought Jackson was gay but now believed it was “pretty reasonable to conclude that he may have had something to do with kids.”

Interesting to find out if his legacy has changed any in twenty years...it is certainly in flux.

A musical genius, his songs have such emotional power, clouds the issue of judging his probable pedophilia.

The polymath Leonardo Da Vinci was also accused of loving small boys, his legacy has remained intact.

I would guess that the power of his music will trump the accusations over time.

That is extremely sad.

That doesn't prove anything. Pedophiles aren't typically known to have childlike personalities. Quite the opposite, actually, as child molesters tend to be exceptionally good liars, a trait that is yet to develop in most small children.

The fact that Brando assumed this to indicate that Jackson may have been a pedophile, says more about him than anything. There are plenty of normal, well adjusted adults who don't engage in excessive profanity or vulgar sex talk, but even that isn't entirely true in the case of Michael as he's talked about sex and uttered the word "fuck" in his music before. Marlon is the real pervert here (and frankly, much more of a real abuser as well), not Michael.

It's hard to believe people still think Michael Jackson was innocent.

I mean, this whole account is kinda awkward on Brando's part lol
