Paris Jackson on 'Ellen'


Paris, Michael Jackson's daughter usually keeps under the radar, but she gave a rare TV interview this week on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, chatting about her dad and her  budding acting career.

Only 13-years-old, she's been in the spot-light before but often her dad, who died aged 50 in 2009, made his 3 kids wear masks when in public with him to protect them from the frenzy of media and public attention that accompanied their every appearance.

"Yeah, I'm like this is stupid, why am I wearing a mask?" Paris told show host Ellen DeGeneres. "But I kind of realised the older I got, like, he only tried to protect us and he'd explain that to us too."

Set to appear in her first movie - Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys, Paris says she's been gearing up for it for years:"When I was really little. My dad was in the movie Moonwalker and I knew he could sing really well but I didn't know he could act. I saw that and I said, wow, I want to be just like him.

"We would do 'improv' together. He would give us little scenarios. He would (say) 'OK, in this scene you're going to cry' and I'd cry on the spot."
