Where is Blanket Jackson now?
Blanket Jackson is the youngest of the late Michael Jackson's children.
In November 2002, when Blanket was nine months old, his father dangled him over the balcony of his Berlin hotel - four stories above ground level - causing a media storm.
Jackson later said doing this was a "terrible mistake" and a bodyguard revealed he locked himself in his room for a day in shame after the pics were taken.
Following the death of Jackson in 2009, unlike his siblings, Blanket has remained very private, leading to the nickname the "invisible boy".
Many MJ fans wondered if Blanket would follow in his father's musical footsteps, but ha has admitted he "can't sing or dance".
In a 2012 interview for the Jacksonology: Our Story documentary, Blacket explained instead that he had dreams of being a director.
He said: "Sometimes I would go in [Michael's] room while he was getting ready for something and watch.
"He was a good dancer, he was a very good dancer. I can't dance or sing, I'm not that kind of person who sings and dances.
