Okay, no hints … can you guess who this man is?

If you take a good look at the man’s facial features, I think you can deduce who it is. After the jump, find out if you’re correct …

Okay, it’s a bit of a trick … the pic is a digital extrapolation of what Michael Jackson MIGHT look like as he turns 50 years old (on August 29th) IF he hadn’t had so much plastic surgery done to his face … a far cry from what the man has actually become, this from the Daily Mail:

A middle-aged man wearing pyjamas is being pushed in a wheelchair down a sidewalk by an assistant. He is gaunt and frail-looking. His skin seems to be peeling. His fingernails are a sickening shade of yellow-brown. Beneath a red Marines baseball cap a surgical mask is visible, covering the bottom half of his face. A pair of large sunglasses shield the top. Three children walk ahead – two boys and a girl. All seem happy and look adorable in colourful clothing. Their baseball caps do not seem a deliberate attempt to shield their faces. “Slow down,” the man commands in a hoarse whisper, but the children ignore him and quickly cross the street to stand in front of a bookshop. When the man in the wheelchair finally catches up, one of the children dutifully holds the door open as he is wheeled inside. “Thank you,” he mutters weakly. All seems calm, but then – just as the children are about to follow the man into the shop – a stranger approaches the smallest of them. “Was that…?” she begins to ask. The boy is about to answer, when a large man steps between them. “No. That was not,” he says, taking the boy by the hand and rushing him inside. But, just before the door swings closed, the young boy turns to his inquisitor, smiles broadly and mouths just two words: Michael Jackson.

And this is what Wacko Jacko looks like today, this pic of the alleged King of Pop was snapped at Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV last night:

Yeesh! Clearly the man is not well … I mean, who goes out in public wearing a tuxedo jacket and pajama pants like this? OY! It’s funny to think of what might’ve been had Jackson‘s life not skewed so far into the world of seeming insanity. The digital mock-up is actually quite handsome, had he allowed himself to grow into maturity without all the surgery he would’ve turned out much better looking than he does now. Well, at least he made it to 50 … that has to account for something, right?
