Fabio Jackson is a British social media personality and TikTok star, who’s perhaps best known for having a striking resemblance with the late legendary pop singer, Michael Jackson. He’s also known for his popular TikTok videos, in which he imitates the moves of the late King of Pop.
Age, Early Life, and Education Background
Fabio Jackson hails from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England, and was born under the Gemini zodiac sign on 13 June 1993, which makes him 30 years old as of early 2024. He’s kept the names of his parents hidden – some of his fans teasingly call him the son of Michael Jackson, and others jokingly call his mother Billie Jean, which comes from Michael Jackson’s hit track “Billie Jean” (1983).
Fabio hasn’t disclosed where he attended high school. He was often mistaken for the late King of Pop during his high school days, and previously disclosed in an interview ‘The comparisons to Michael have been going on ever since high school, to college then university, and it just keeps getting more and more frequent now. I was bullied at school because I looked so much like Michael. It was hard.’ Jackson was educated at the University Campus Suffolk.

Who’s Fabio Jackson’s Lookalike, Michael Jackson? Brief Biography
The late legendary singer-songwriter, dancer, and philanthropist, Michael Joseph Jackson hailed from Gary, Indiana, and was born under the Virgo zodiac sign on 29 August 1958. He was brought up alongside his nine siblings in a working-class family by his mother, Katherine Esther Jackson, who was a clarinet and piano player, and Joseph Walter Jackson, who was a crane operator and former boxer.
Michael made his first public appearance as a member of the Jackson 5 (later renamed the Jacksons) – which was made up of his four older brothers, Marlon, Jermaine, Tito, and Jackie. He kicked off his solo career in the early ‘70s, shortly after signing with Motown Records. He rose to prominence with his fifth studio album “Off the Wall.” Moreover, his sixth studio album, “Thriller” was well-received and comprised hit songs such as “Thriller,” “Billie Jean,” and “Beat It.”
In the ‘80s, MJ became a figure of speculation and controversy for changing his appearance, behavior, lifestyle, and relationships. In 1993, the late artist faced child sexual abuse allegations, but the lawsuit was settled out of court – he wasn’t indicted because there was no evidence to support the claims. While preparing for a series of concerts on 25 June 2009, MJ succumbed to a propofol overdose. His televised memorial service – held at the Los Angeles-based indoor arena, Staples Center – was watched by over 2.5 billion people.
Regarded as one of the most prominent cultural figures of the 20th century, MJ influenced artists from numerous music groups, and popularized several complicated street dance moves such as Moonwalk and the Robot.
He’s one of the top-selling music artists of the 20th century, who sold over 400 million records and had 13 Billboard Hot 100 number-one songs, which’s the fourth highest of any musician in the world. Moreover, he received 15 Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, six Brit Awards, and broke 39 Guinness World Records (such as “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time.”) He’s been inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, Dance Hall of Fame, Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame, among others.
Michael was a prolific humanitarian and philanthropist, who donated over $500 million to various charities.
