Neither of them were actors though, one works as a choreographer and the other one is a cameraman I believe.
I’ve been to LA, it’s not like every single person who lives in the city is a master actor. This is a ridiculous idea.
You found the statements of the two men unconvincing. I find the idea that Jackson was merely trying to re-live his childhood by hanging out with young pre-teen boys and going on sleepovers with them, unconvincing.

The entertainment industry is about “attitude” i.e. your willingness/ability to bullshit. Furthermore, just because they were not working actors does not mean they did not take acting lessons at some point or pick up tips from those in the industry.
My point being, there’s nothing that I’ve seen or heard to dispute the theory that they lied.

Except the fact that Jackson did constantly hang out with young pre-teen boys and admitted to sleeping with them in his bed.
Not only that, he engaged in this behaviour for more than a decade. It’s not just “re-living childhood” of it’s a constant part of your life.
He could stopped hanging out with young pre-teen boys after the first abuse scandal in the early 90s, yet he didn’t.

Sharing a bed is not the same thing as sexual molestation. Nobody is doubting that MJ was an oddball but to jump from that to child molestor is a leap.
And there’s no time limit on re-living your childhood.

I don’t think we will come to a common understanding on this topic.
I finished watching the second part and I don’t believe the two men are lying and I think they are telling the truth.
If Jackon was never involved with young pre-teen boys in any manner, I would be willing to give Jackson more benefit of the doubt. But this is not the case.
