She was famously close friends with the late Michael Jackson – a special relationship she details in her new memoir, There Was A Little Girl: The Real Story Of My Mother And Me.

But despite their strong bond, Brooke Shields revealed during her Watch What Happens Live appearance on Wednesday that she would not let the King of Pop become godfather to her first born child.

‘I thought, Oh my god that’s so sort of sad that he wanted to do that and I sort of had to deny him that,’ the 49-year-old actress said. ‘And it was just like, “Oh no…” He was really wanting to have that connection.’

Brooke, who also has eight-year-old daughter Grier, details her relationship with the legendary singer in her juicy new tell-all memoir, released on Tuesday.

‘From the day we met, we saw something of ourselves in each other,’ the brunette wrote. ‘We felt really safe. Together, we felt impervious to the craziness that swirled around us.

‘We joked about how silly people were and watched movies and ate candy.’

While playing Plead The Fifth on Watch What Happens Live, Brooke was also questioned about her former crush George Michael, the singer who later came out as gay.

Brooke also confirmed that her former flame Liam Neeson is very well endowed.
