Dieter continued: “On the other hand, I didn’t know if this was something Michael regularly did, and the crocodiles were used to it; therefore, I anxiously observed, with hopes Michael knew what he was doing.”

Michael’s former manager recalled how the star was very “carefree” around the enormous reptiles.

The Thriller star took it a step further when he started bouncing pebbles towards the 6-foot creatures.

With Michael’s feet still hanging over the crocs, Dieter commented: “I jokingly asked: ‘You want to be able to continue to do the moonwalk in the future? Don’t you’ Of course, he didn’t listen.”
