It seems Michael Jackson may not have been quite as fond of Madonna as you might expect from her moving tribute at last week’s VMAs.

The pair became friends in the early nineties, and went on several high profile dates, including showing up to the 1990 Academy Awards ceremony on each other’s arm.

But in a nine-year-old filmed interview with his friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, due to be shown on TV this week, Michael claims the affection was purely one-sided.

He told Boteach: “I think she  likes shock value and she knows how to push buttons on people. I think she was sincerely in love with me and I was not in love with her. She did a lot of crazy things. I knew we had nothing in common.

“She is not sexy at all. I think sexy comes form the heart in the way you present yourself.”
