George Michael spent thousands of hours writing every note of the Faith album, but he died knowing you were only looking at his pants. In a hilarious confession, the superstar admitted his global legacy was a total accident built on a pair of ripped jeans. He realized early on that while he was chasing musical perfection his fans were just chasing his strut.
George did not use a fancy stylist to create his iconic look. He simply wore his own jeans until they fell apart and refused to let his mother sew them back together. He knew that the grit and the stubble were his ticket to the top.

The reaction from the public proves he was right all along. One viewer noted that George was the only person who could make a pair of messy jeans look like a tuxedo. Another fan commented that his voice was a gift from God, but his confidence was what made him a king.
This fame felt like a whirlwind, but it also forced George to look in the mirror and decide who he really wanted to be.
