Will.i.am moonwalks with Olympic torch

5/22/2012

The Olympic torch relay in the U.K. got a dose of celebrity yesterday when the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am took a turn running the flame. After the star paid tribute to himself at the start of his run by asking people to follow him on Twitter, he honored Michael Jackson with a quick moonwalk while holding the torch. ''Me and Mike were really close and he would have been proud that I ran the torch, so I thought why not moonwalk it a couple of steps while running with [it]," he said afterward. He then promised to work his Olympic dance move into a future video that will no doubt be dedicated to MJ.
