Rashida Jones Tells about “Growing Up” with Michael Jackson

Rashida Jones Tells ‘Playboy’ about “Growing Up” with Michael Jackson: “Bit of An Alien”





Being the daughter of Quincy Jones allowed for Rashida Jones to hang out with some pretty cool people in her childhood — like Michael Jackson.

“Michael basically grew up with us, so I have a million memories of him. We were at each other’s houses all the time,” the Parks and Recreation star shares. “He was definitely a little bit of an alien, for sure, and when I was young, it felt as if he was my age, not 18 years older, but with just a little bit more pep.”

“Later, we’d go out on the town together. He always wore those surgical masks. Once, my sister, Michael, Emmanuel Lewis and I got in a car with Super Soakers and went by a movie theater and supersoaked the hell out of people waiting in line. They had no idea they’d just been supersoaked by the King of Pop.”

We bet that memory has stuck with some and they’re thrilled now though!
