Michael Jackson’s life was full of outrageous twists, but one claim that made headlines was his alleged infatuation with a young Emma Watson. According to a convicted doctor, the King of Pop had a fascination for the then-11-year-old actress, sparking a whirlwind of speculation and intrigue.
Fans were left scratching their heads—how could someone so iconic be tied to such a controversial story? It raised eyebrows and questions about the bizarre nature of celebrity obsessions. With all the drama surrounding MJ, this was just another chapter in his enigmatic saga.
Dr. Conrad Murray Reveals Michael Jackson’s Alleged Infatuation with Young Emma Watson
Michael Jackson was allegedly infatuated with 11-year-old Emma Watson, according to Dr. Conrad Murray—the convicted doctor linked to the King of Pop’s untimely death. In his explosive tell-all book, This Is It, Murray claimed Jackson had his sights set on the Harry Potter star, referring to her as “his second choice for a bride.” He asserted,
Michael told me he was almost as consumed with British actress Emma Watson. He had “fallen in love with her” when she was in her first Harry Potter film in 2001, when she was just 11. Emma was his second choice for a bride if things did not work out with Harriet.
This was the closest Michael ever came to answering my own unasked questions about the paedophilia allegations that had haunted him for years.
Murray served as Jackson’s physician for three years before being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 after MJ’s tragic overdose in 2009. Though he served four years, Murray insists he wrote this book not for profit but to honor Jackson’s wish to tell his story.
Per Dr. Murray, the fascination began after Watson’s debut in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001). He described how MJ was consumed with the British actress—and even kept a cardboard cutout of her in his lavish $60k-a-month home in LA. Yet, this obsession reportedly waned when he fell in love with his goddaughter, Harriet Lester—the daughter of Oliver! star Mark Lester.
Murray’s claims don’t suggest any actions on Jackson’s part regarding these alleged infatuations. He stated,
I never challenged Michael. That is because I instinctively knew that when it came to very sensitive subjects, Michael could as quickly shut down, as he had been forthright. But one thing was clear: the way Michael spoke about the young girls was not an innocent crush, but an unrequited love.
As he faced scrutiny about MJ’s past and the infamous p-dophilia allegations, Dr. Murray remained tight-lipped, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions. “You must read the book and make those decisions for yourself,” he urged, leaving the legacy of the King of Pop shrouded in mystery and intrigue.
