LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Former child actor Mark Lester says it's possible he could have fathered Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris.
Lester, who has also claimed to be the godfather of Michael Jackson's three children, appeared on NBC's "Today" show Friday morning, and told Matt Lauer he provided the singer with his sperm.

The star of 1968's "Oliver!" said Jackson, "wanted kids but was anxious about sex" and was, "shy when it came to women."
When asked why Jackson would need Lester's sperm, he said, "That I don't know."

Lester also said, "The story was going to break in any event," and he wanted to tell the public his side of the events.
He referred to his wife - who has disputed Lester's paternity claims - as "a difficult woman."
When asked he if he had stepped forward seeking money, he told Matt, "No, No. Not at all." He claims he only wants contact with his alleged biological daughter.

Abby DSaw this guy on a morning talk show...Paris looks EXACTLY like this man's daughter. All this talk about donated sperm may sound crazy but crazy seemed to have been the norm for MJ. Either way, they should just leave these kids to grieve properly before they start throwing all this junk at them. They are innocent children after all!report abuseposted August 23, 2009 10:40 AM PDT
