Former child star Mark Lester claims he's the biological father of Michael Jackson's daughter Paris, who shows a striking resemblance to one of his children.
Lester is a longtime friend of Jackson, and says the King of Pop once asked him to donate sperm. He told the British tabloid "News of the World" that he agreed and gave a sample to a London clinic.
In a video interview posted on the tabloid's website, Lester said he came forward with his claim because he has "concerns about the welfare and upbringing of the children."
"It's a contact issue," he said. "I dearly want to remain in contact with those kids and I feel now this is the only way I can ensure that."
He said Paris has the same high cheekbones, fair skin and blue eyes as his 15-year-old daughter Harriet.
The 51-year-old former actor is famous for playing the lead role of "Oliver!" in the 1968 movie version.
He first met Jackson 27 years ago when the singer's manager set up a meeting. Lester lives in Cheltenham, about 160 kilometers west of London.
Lester said he donated his sperm when Jackson was married to Debbie Rowe.
"She's the birth mother of the children so I naturally assumed the sperm donation would obviously have gone into Debbie and Debbie would have borne the children," he said.

What a freak show
“Consider yourself...at home!
“Consider yourself...one of the family!”
“the King of Pop once asked him to donate sperm”
Oh sure, guys do that for each other all the time...
OK, sometimes your friend asks to borrow one of your CDs, or your tools, or maybe even your car .... but this is ridiculous
Dear God...
The ex-child star is a current loser. He’s too stupid to be ashamed.
YOU NAILED IT!
Two blondes do not make a brunette, since blonde hair is recessive.
They both have very striking light blue eyes and they are very pretty little girls. But this asshat is after the money, more than likely and has no legal rights here.
These kids need to be protected from parasites for the rest of their lives.
They should go on the Maury show.
Lester was the cutest little boy but the Artful Dodger was far more interesting.
Oh yeah, I can hardly tell them apart.
And we should be interested in this why???
Jack Wild ( pictured on right ) died in 2006. We had a thread about it but I can’t find it.
The guy lost the concept of the word donate.
Agreed. I forgot to mention the last post that The Artful Dodger was played by Jack Wild.
