BRITISH ACTOR CLAIMS MICHAEL JACKSON’S 3 CHILDREN
This
story kicks like Michael Jackson’s Thriller, but it’s for real! British
actor, Mark Lester, who was Jackson’s bosom friend, is claiming paternity of
the three kids which the king of pop left behind. “I’m the father
of Michael Jackson’s children and I’ll take a DNA test to prove it,” says
Lester in a controversial revelation that is reverberating across the
world. “I wouldn’t have a DNA test without the children’s
permission but when the children come of age, and it’s not far away, and they
decide they want me to do it, then I will. “It is up to them. I don’t want to
tell them what to do.
I just want to reconnect and be
the godfather that Michael made me.’ “My 18-year-old daughter Olivia looks like
Paris. People have also pointed out similarities between myself when I was
younger and Prince Michael.’ It would be recalled that Lester found fame
at the age of eight when he played the title role in the film of the ‘Lionel
Bart musical Oliver!’ He became good friend with Jackson in London in 1978 when
the singer was performing with the Jackson 5.
In 1995, shortly after Lester’s
third child was born, Jackson broached the subject of fertility. He claimed to
have consented to donating sperm to father the children of the famed musician,
and this was the genesis of the whole paternity controversy that is now
raging. “I remember Michael ringing and saying, “Oh, you don’t have
any fertility difficulties, do you?” He was half joking, so I joked: “Oh,
I just look at her and she gets pregnant.” So then in a light-hearted way he
said, “Will you help me out?” Initially I thought he wanted me to do
something with his ex-wife Debbie Rowe and I was thinking, “I don’t think so.”
These were the circumstances which led him to believe that there “is a
‘good possibility’ I’m the father of Prince Michael, 16, Paris, 15, and
Blanket, 11. It would be recalled that 54-year-old actor was a very close
friend with Jackson for more than three decades and claimed to have
donated sperm for the superstar before the first child was born. He said his
children became friends with Jackson’s children and when they got together they
were like ‘one big happy family’. He further claimed that Jackson made him
‘godfather’ to his three children in 2001.
However, Lester said it was only two months after Jackson died aged at 50 in June 2009 after overdosing on painkillers and tranquillisers that he first considered that he could be the father of the children. In another development, lawyers for Jackson’s family have previously rubbished Lester’s claims, saying they have ‘no merit’ and branding them a ‘genetic lottery attempt.’ The singer’s brother Jermaine has also insisted the children were all fathered by Jackson. Jackson’s British former bodyguard Matt Fiddes had previously claimed Lester could be the father of Blanket, saying he had agreed to donating sperm for fertility. It would be recalled that Michael Jackson rolled from one controversy to the other later during his life-time, including a controversial court case over child abuse and he died in controversial circumstances. Even in death, Michael Jackson seemed to be spinning from one controversy to the other until this earth-shaking revelation was unearthed.
