I'm sure you guys all know of that stupid rumor that followed Michael during his mature era of how he had to wear a "prosthetic nose"? I personally never believed that rumor not even when I first heard it around 2001/2. The one thing that truly made me understand how false that rumor is was during Michael's 45th birthday in 2003. If you watch the footage of the food fight, which by the way, you need to if you haven't because a drunk MJ will bring you SO much life. You'll notice Michael teases a food fight with the cake which he's then edged on to do, so he throws a large piece of the cake right into Aaron Carter's face and Michael tells him to do the same in return. Now credit to Aaron Carter as he does so but he REALLY throws the cake into Michael's face and I mean hard. Directly to MJ's nose with nothing falling/moving like you'd expect a prosthetic one to do when hit with such a force. The funny thing is nowadays you can just read the autopsy report to find that MJ's nose was his own nose. Case closed, but I remember seeing that back in the day and shouting SEE?!
I guess when the world kept seeing Michael with plasters and bandages on his nose they kept thinking he was having work done when in reality even years down the line after a nose job you have to be careful of swelling and flare-ups and seeing as Michael was constantly dancing and moving about it's only right for him to take those precautions.
