MJ’s daughter my child: Actor Mark Lester
August 10th, 2009 - 6:15 pm ICT by IBNS
Aug 10 (IBNS) Former British child star Mark Lester said he gave sperm to Michael Jackson, adding he believed that MJ’s daughter Paris was his female offspring.
The 51-year-old told newspersons that he gave Jackson his semen 13 years ago and is godfather to all three of Jackson’s children.
He believes Paris, 11, is his daughter due to an “uncanny likeness” between the girl and his own daughter, Harriet, 15. He wants to take a paternity test.
Lester said he donated his sperm at a London clinic while Jackson was married to Debbie Rowe.
Lester said: She’s the birth mother of the children so I naturally assumed the sperm donation would obviously have gone into Debbie and she would have borne the children.
Jackson and Lester were friends for more than 25 years and he reportedly spent the day with the Jackson kids after their father’s memorial service last month.
Born in Oxford, England in 1958, Mark Lester is known for his work in British and European films in the 1960s and 1970s. He is most famous for his role as the title character in the Academy Award-winning 1968 musical Oliver! His last film was 1977’s Crossed Swords (The Prince and the Pauper) which received poor reviews, prompting Mark Lester to retire from acting.
