Prince Jackson Reflects on Dads Neverland Memories

's eldest son Prince Jackson has described his late father as 'childlike' and an 'awesome' dad.

The 29-year-old, who is the producer of Michael, the new biopic about the Billie Jean hitmaker, also shared intimate details of his childhood with the eccentric superstar.

'As I've gotten older, I've learned that a lot of what I think is normal life is not normal life,' the philanthropist admitted during an appearance on 's Sunrise on Thursday.

'Growing up at Neverland with my siblings and my father, for us, it was hanging out together as a family, but with the backdrop of elephants and giraffes walking in the background.

'We spent a lot of time playing board games together, reading books, watching movies. It truly was, and is, magical. It felt like your own personal Disneyland.'

Describing Michael's parenting as 'awesome', Prince gushed that his notoriously reclusive dad was 'really fun to just spend time with'.

He added, 'I would love to have kids and, you know, take notes on what he did as a father, but he was always on our level in a way.'

Prince, who worked as a music video producer, revealed that Michael urged people to speak to his children as 'adults', and at the same time, liked to play practical jokes.

'But when he played with us, he played with us. You know, he got down, and he was playing with the toys and making up stories...

'He just had a very childlike nature that was so much fun, always playing pranks on people and stuff.'

Michael's 'pranks' involved his children, Prince said, including showing his youngsters the notoriously graphic 'Thriller' music video, known for its elaborate makeup effects.

'[We were] terrified,' Prince said, before adding, 'He told us that it was real, like it wasn't special effects or anything like that.'

Elsewhere in the chat, Prince addressed his father's passion for privacy.

Prince said he never felt 'isolated' by the heavy security because Michael explained why it was necessary.
