The King of Pop wanted to become more famous than legendary dance and film stars Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, and be "immortalized" in movies, before his death, it has been revealed.

MJ apparently wrote in his secret diary, few months before his death that he wanted to concentrate on movies and wanted to partner with 'American Idol' creator Simon Fuller in a bid to become "the greatest ever", the New York Post reported.

According to the diary entries, the 'Beat It' singer also wanted Broadway producers to create a play about his life so he could become the "first multi-billionaire entertainer-actor-director".

Along with movies, he even wanted to launch his line of soda and cookies, and be in the same league as "Charlie Chaplin, Michelangelo, and Disney".
