Pharrell Williams calls Michael Jackson an ‘insane genius’
Jackson struck a balance between 'genius and insanity'
and claimed he isn't worthy of being compared to the
'Thriller' star because he can't dance.
The N.E.R.D. star insisted the 'Thriller' hitmaker –
who died in 2009 - was 'special' and avoided going
'off the deep end' because of his talent as a musician.
Speaking in the autumn/winter edition of GQ Style
magazine, he said: 'Sometimes they go too far and off
the deep end but Michael was teetering on that line of
genius and insanity and you've never seen anyone
walking that tightrope for so long as he did.
'That man was a special one.' The 40-year-old
producer was delighted to be compared to the legendary
pop star, but insisted he can't 'dance' as well as the
man who popularised the 'Moonwalk'.
He added: 'That's, like, incredibly generous and kind
and overreaching. 'That's hard for me to process. I
could never dance like him. He had everything.'
Meanwhile, Pharrell has claimed he grew up around
'weirdos' but his group of friends knew how to use
their 'differences' to become successes. He explained:
'I come from the pool of weirdos, the kids who
embraced their differences to help them realise that they
were special.'
