Fabio Jackson has gone viral again after a new clip showing the famed Michael Jackson lookalike reacting to another MJ impersonator's performance has caught the attention of the internet.

In a video circulating online shared by FearBuck, Fabio is seen standing among a crowd on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles watching a fellow performer pay tribute to the King of Pop.

While he appeared amused by the performance, the original uploader helped push the moment further with their choice of caption. "He looking at him like he the real Mike," they wrote, followed by two different laughing emojis. It’s unclear exactly when the footage was captured.

This isn't the first time that Fabio has taken notice of this particular impersonator, who has been identified as Sebastian. Earlier this month, he shared a clip of himself helping put a bedazzled jacket on Sebastian before watching him perform for a crowd.

During the clip, Fabio stopped to take a picture with a fan while at the same urging the person taking the picture to not disrupt Sebastian's performance due to their chosen positioning.

Fabio first broke through after a TikTok clip captured him stumbling upon a street performer doing his best Michael Jackson impersonation on Fremont Street in Las Vegas. His unscripted, deeply impressed response spread across the internet and turned him into a viral figure in his own right.

Earlier this year, Kanye West tapped him for his "Father" music video, which was directed by Ye's wife Bianca Censori and features Travis Scott. Fabio, who can be seen in the video wearing a white suit evoking Jackson's classic look, left many viewers assuming he was AI-generated. However, he later confirmed his involvement by reposting coverage to his Instagram Stories.

Speaking to TMZ after the video's release, Fabio described West as "a really kind guy, very humble." He also acknowledged a long-standing wish to have been considered for the lead role in the Michael biopic, a part that ultimately went to Jaafar Jackson, Michael's nephew.
