Supermodel Alek Wek (30), who was born in the Sudan, just gave an interview to the British magazine The Observer. The article is entitled ‘This much I know’ and in the interview Wek expresses her longtime admiration for Michael Jackson:

“Michael Jackson really is the king of pop. When my friends talk about childhood, I’ve never heard of any cartoons or TV they remember. The only thing we share is Michael Jackson. That’s how far his music travelled - to a remote village on the other side of the world. When the militias came to Wau, they would blast out ‘Thriller’ as they moved down the dirt streets.”
