The Oscar winning actor shared the story of his strange relationship with the King of Pop in an interview with The Guardian back in March.
“For three f—ing years, I never met him, never shook his hand, but he found out the name I stayed in hotels under. So it didn’t matter where I was, he’d ring up. Do the kind of thing you did when you were 10,” the actor told the British newspaper.
“Is Mr Wall there? Is Mrs Wall there? Then what’s holding the roof up? You’re supposed to grow out of doing that right?”
