When Michael Jackson died earlier this year he left behind three children: Prince Michael Jackson, Paris Jackson, and Prince Michael Jackson II. Except it looks as though none of the children are actually his.
Mark Lester, a former child star who made his name in Oliver! at the age of nine, is godfather to the three children. And he has today come out and claimed himself to be the biological father of Paris Jackson.
He claims Jacko asked him to be a sperm donor when he was still married to Debbie Rowe, the woman who is known to be the children’s biological mother. Lester is willing to take a paternity test to prove he’s Paris’ father.
I have no doubts he truly believes what he’s saying, but why go to a British tabloid to make the claim? Is that the best course of action for the children? No, but then pursuing this privately wouldn’t be so lucrative or fame-making now would it.
