Michael Jackson's Former Bodyguards Remember the King Of Pop

Different?  Yes.  But not weird.  That how three former bodyguards for the late Michael Jackson remembered him on ABC's Good Morning America on Tuesday. One of the bodyguards, Bill Whitfield, said Michael craved privacy. He said, "There were times that he vented...and he vented, loudly. 'Why don't people just leave me alone?'"

Michael's frustration apparently boiled over at times -- Whitfield recalled an incident when Michael tossed Whitfield's cell phone out a window. However, the bodyguards also described Michael as a man who was loved by his children.  When asked by GMA's Ashleigh Banfield if Jackson was aware that his often weird behavior was the reason he was so frequently in the media, the bodyguards were quick to correct her.  "Let's use the word different," they said.  "Weird, no."
