Michael Jackson, believed by some to have been a genius, had a penchant for drawing – himself.

The singer’s former longtime friend and plastic surgeon, Steven Hoefflin, 63, has revealed drawings Jackson gave him.

The pencil sketches, some of which identify their subject with the words, “Me” or “Moi” or “Little Me”, are touchingly spare. Three Hoefflin supplied are signed Michael Jackson and dated 1985.

Hoefflin is planning to publish the drawings in a book. “One of the many things people don’t know about Michael was that he loved to draw,” he said.

“As a gift he drew countless pictures of himself as a young boy and of the man he hoped he would grow up to be.”

Hoefflin says Jackson lived with him in the 1980s. “He gained incredible self-confidence in the 1980s when he lived with me and we would spend hours painting together.”
