PHOTOS! Here again are pictures of Mark Lester (“Oliver”) who according to new reports does NOT claim to be Paris Jackson’s father. Huh? Mark Lester was Michael Jackson’s godfather for Paris Jackson, and donated sperm to Jackson.
But while a British report this weekend claimed Lester told the paper he is Paris’ father, another U.S. report today says the report played with his words and that Lester is not claiming to be her father.

Mark Lester is best known as the child actor of the megahit Oscar winning film “Oliver”, playing the title role. Above is another later photo of the British actor. Today he’s married with kids. This weekend Lester was quoted in British news as saying he donated the sperm to Debbie Rowe for Paris Jackson.
But does the story stop there. First, he is quoted as telling British press in an exclusive the following:
“It’s been a secret for so long,
“In 1996 Michael asked me if I would give him my sperm and I said yes. It was a gift to him, no money was paid, it was something I was honoured to do. He wanted children so badly.”
But now a U.S. report says that British report is misleading. Really?
PEOPLE, which didn’t speak to Lester, cites someone else (who won’t say their name, and won’t say if they were at the Lester inteview). This person tells People Lester did donate sperm but didn’t mean to suggest Paris is his child. And how does this person know? No clue.
PEOPLE writes today:
“Although Lester could not immediately be reached for comment, sources very close to the Jackson family say that Lester has donated sperm for Jackson and is a longtime friend, but he has never claimed to be the father of Paris Jackson, 11. “They twisted his words around. He’s not claiming to be the father of Paris Jackson,” says one close family source.”
The “family source”? Was the family source at the Lester interview with the British press to know what Lester said? Bizarre.
Katherine Jackson’s attorney has issued the following statement:
“These genetic lottery attempts aren’t going anywhere. They have no legal standing. They may seek 5 seconds of fame but the claims have no merit.”
Below is his IMDB bio and video of his interview recently with the Today Show.
