ICON: Have these people also developed friendships?
Gorman: With Pierce Brosnan I'm close friends with John Hurt. I'm not a name dropper, but I got along well with Michael Jackson. He sometimes called me and we talked.
ICON: In the exhibition there is also a picture of Michael Jackson, which has never been shown before.
Gorman: Right. Whenever I photographed Michael, we talked before two hours. About the concept and what we wanted to do. On the day when this photo was taken, he said how much he admired my nude photographs. So we decided to take a picture that is somewhat revealing. I suppose that's why it did not get the public so long to face.
