Music producer David Gest told in an interview that Michael Jackson often wore outlandish disguises to stop being mobbed by followers in Disneyland. For example he once dressed up as a sheik in an attempt to tour the famous theme park anonymously.

“Michael once dressed up as a sheik and I posed as his translator and we jabbered away in mock Arabic as we toured the park.

People stopped and stared and gasped as I told them my sheik friend had 154 children.

We would crease up laughing later on but meant nothing nasty by duping people. In fact, often Michael picked up their bill.”
