Brooke Shields called her relationship with Michael Jackson as 'one of the most natural and easiest friendships,' at his memorial on Tuesday, July 7.July 07, 2009, (Sawf News) - Brooke Shields called her relationship with Michael Jackson as 'one of the most natural and easiest friendships,' at his memorial on Tuesday, July 7.
"Michael was one of a kind," Brooke said at the outset.
"I was 13 when we met and from that day on our friendship grew. Michael always knew that he could count on me to support him, or be his date, and that we would have fun no matter where we were.
“We had a bond, and maybe it was because we both understood what it was like to be in the spotlight from a very very young age,” she told the crowd struggling to hold back tears.
"Both of us needed to be adults very early, but when we were together we were two little kids having fun."
Saying that they had never collaborated, shared the stage or danced together, Brooke recalled a time when Michael "unsuccessfully" tried to teach her the Moonwalk, only to give up.
"When he started wearing the glove, I said 'What's up with the glove."
"If you’re going to hold my hand, it better be with the non-gloved one because sequins hurt me, they dig in."
