She's just landed her first major movie role, and now Paris Jackson is ready to start the interview circuit!
The 13-year-old daughter of the late Michael Jackson made her first solo appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to chat about becoming an actor, having a normal childhood, and the last piece of advice her dad ever gave her.
Paris on how the King of Pop inspired her to become an actor:
- "I love acting. 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 ok, in this scene you’re going to cry and I’d cry on the spot."
The budding actress also opened up on those masks Michael used to make her, and her siblings, wear when they'd venture out in public:
- "Yeah, I’m like this is stupid why am I wearing a mask? But I kind of realized the older I got like he only tried to protect us and he’d explain that to us too."
Miss Jackson also confessed on going to a regular school, after having private tutors her entire life:
- "I love it. It’s definitely a different experience. I do have like a regular childhood. I mean, I‘m treated the same. When I came to Buckley (her school) they didn’t know who I was. I was like, yes, I have a chance to be normal."
Paris then revealed of the most important thing her dad ever told her:
- "He said, if I die tomorrow always remember what I told you. I took his advice and I remembered everything he told me."
Ellen then surprised Jackson with her very own director’s chair and director’s slate!
Check out the full interview on Ellen, airing Thursday, Dec. 15.
MJ would be so proud!

One day she will want to find out who her real parents are.
She's very pretty and seems pretty normal considering the weird world she must have lived in.
shes such a pretty sweet young girl, I hope she stays that way, stay away from the drugs and nonsense and she would be a great up and coming role model for young girls,
Wow, she does seem normal. Just please do not do a Lohan!
Her future is bright! I can't wait to see where this girl will go in her career. Michael raised her right.
Yeah, Paris does seem very sweet. She is growing up fast...

I KNOW she will do well and do well for the world too. All the best to Paris with Love. Godspeed!
You can tell she is going to be a fat slob like her mom.
To the moron who says she is going to be a fat slob like her mother. There is nothing about her that says she is going to be fat. You are clearly just posting for shock value and that is getting really old on this x17 site. Lame.
^^^ I think you are Lame for getting butthurt about another persons comment.
