Unseen footage of Michael Jackson taking a selfie is released

gottahaverockandroll.com, in a post titled “Did Michael Jackson take the first selfie in history?”, has released previously unseen footage of him taking a selfie.

This video is a home movie recorded of Michael Jackson from the 1990s, which this website has put up for auction. The footage shows scenes from Christmas 1993 at Neverland, and we see Michael’s friends opening gifts. The rest of the film includes scenes from around Neverland and playing with animals.

The King of Pop takes us on a tour of his magical farm. In part of the video, we see him taking a selfie of himself using a mirror, and it’s not hard to imagine that this photo could become known as the first selfie in history. The film ends with a Christmas Eve dinner.

This film was recorded on a 62-minute 8mm video tape by Frank Cassio, a friend of Michael—or possibly by Michael himself.

Another part of this film was recorded in 1996 at a hotel in Paris, and it shows Michael Jackson alongside his friends.

The camera also goes looking for hundreds of fans who shout Michael’s name from below the window of his room on the street, and it captures some interesting images of them from the balcony.
