Mark Lester On Today Show Claiming He May Have Fathered Jackson Children

Mark Lester, a British former child star and godfather to Michael Jackson’s three kids, sat down with Matt Lauer on the Today Show Friday to address rumors that he may be Paris Jackson’s sperm donor.

"There’s a possibility that one, or, very unlikely, but all of those kids could be mine," he said. When Lauer pressed him on whether he knew definitively if he was Paris’s biological father, he said he had "no idea, and even if I was, it would make absolutely no difference to the status quo of the family."

"Michael was very shy when it came to women, and he confided in me that he actually found it very difficult to do the s*xual act," Lester said. And so, in a seeming non-sequitur, Jackson asked Lester for his sperm around the time Paris was conceived.

Lester failed to explain why Jackson’s anxieties about having sex with women impaired his ability to father a child in a test tube.

"Whether he wanted to increase the chances of artificial insemination, he just said he was very very nervous and didn’t feel like he was up to going through the act," he said. "I had given something as a gift and I didn’t want anything in return for it. That was it. End of story."

Lester, 51, is a father of four in London. He said he would take a paternity test "if called upon" but doesn’t want to take on any role other than godfather and friend. He refrained from drawing any conclusions from split-screen shots of Paris and himself, and more puzzling, Paris and his own 15-year-old blonde, fair-skinned daughter.

"She’s absolutely beautiful, and I would be honored if that came from me," he said.

It is possible that the Jackson family want to keep any and all men, who could have been sperm donors, away from the children until they have the children legally locked into their custody, so they can control Michael’s estate and money. Lester appears credible to me, and he doesn’t stand to benefit in any way, that I know of, by speaking out on the possibility that he could have fathered at least Paris. I’d like to hear your thoughts.

    He is clearly lying. He claims to be a long term friend of Michael Jackson’s and yet he betrays him by a. saying that Michael had sexual anxiety with women and b. that he donated sperm to him? What a load of rubbish. Michael Jackson had the funds to obtain, sperm, eggs, embryos from virtually any source. Why would he choose someone he knew personally which would complicate a surrogacy emotionally if nothing else (and someone so unattractive). It makes no sense whatsoever. There is no way this man created any of Michael’s children with Debbie Rowe. All of Michael’s children are olive skinned and beautiful. If Mark Lester had children with Debbie Rowe they would be fair, freckly, insipid
    and unremarkable. I am not sorry to be so blunt because this is the truth as I see it.

    I dont know how this editor can say this man has nothing to gain. This man is obviously seeking media attention and his using Michael’s grief stricken traumatized kids to do it. Shame on Lester and you people including this author for condoning such dispicable and disgusting behaviour. I don’t believe a word this man says.

    My thoughts – Mark Lester’s the biggest liar since Arnold Klein. Macaulay Culkin is the Jackson children’s godfather. Paris looks NOTHING like Lester or his pale daughter. (What kind of creep drags his child into this sordid affair?)

    Interesting that the Jackson children look completely white, when they’re standing next to black people. Side by side with Harriet Lester, it’s clear that Paris is actually quite dark. And those blue green eyes don’t come from Mark Lester; his eyes are brown. But they’re the same color as Joe Jackson’s.

    There is no proof that Michael Jackson ever asked any guy for sperm. But the media has run with the idea as if it were gospel.

    What does Lester get from this? Attention. Oliver! was a hit movie a long, long time ago. Lester was angry because the Jacksons didn’t pay him enough attention when they were mourning Michael, so he came up with this ridiculous idea of claiming paternity. Shame on the Today Show for encouraging this nonsense.
