Jacko: 'Children sleep in my bed'
11.28AM GMT, 4 Feb 2003
Michael Jackson has disclosed that he still shares his bedroom with children, despite the child-sex allegations which nearly destroyed him.
The singer has formed a close friendship with a 12-year-old boy called Gavin, who regularly spends the night at his Neverland mansion. (Picture: Living with Michael Jackson - a Tonight Special, ITV1)
Gavin, who was suffering from cancer when he first met Jackson, believes his relationship with the star has helped to cure him.
Jackson said he always slept on the floor when Gavin was there.
Asked in an ITV1 documentary, Living with Michael Jackson - a Tonight Special, if they ever shared a bed, he replied: "No. But I have slept in a bed with many children."
He said: "It's not sexual. We're going to sleep. I tuck them in and I put a little music on and when it's story time I read a book.
"We go to sleep with the fire on and I give them hot milk and cookies. It's very charming and very sweet. It's what the whole world should do."
Gavin said his parents are happy about his friendship with the star, who phones him often in a series of late-night calls.
When told many people would think it inappropriate for a 44-year-old man to share a bed with a young boy, Jackson dismissed them as "ignorant" and "wacky".
"Why can't you share your bed? The most loving thing to do is to share your bed with someone," he said.
"It's a beautiful thing. It's very right, it's very loving. Because what's wrong with sharing a love?"
His comments were made in an interview with award-winning Tonight journalist Martin Bashir.
Bashir said he was "astonished" to discover Jackson still enjoyed close relationships with young boys.
Jackson was once the undisputed King of Pop, but his reputation never recovered from the scandal which shocked the world in 1994.
He was accused of molesting 13-year-old Jordy Chandler - allegations he has always denied - and paid the boy's parents ?18 million to drop a civil case against him.
