Former British child star Mark Lester, best known for portraying the title role in Oliver! [pic then/pic now] and a longtime friend of Michael Jackson, and godfather to two of his children, states that he is Michael Jackson’s baby-daddy.
I will say that if the sperm story is true (and at least one member of the Jackson camp who denies the paternity concedes that the sperm story is true) that he has reason to believe it since the kids do look a bit like him, but that could be suggestion. I wonder though how long before Zsa-Zsa’s media whore husband gets into the act I wonder.
A stranger story about post-Oliverian fertility may be that of Ron Moody, the actor who played Fagin [then/now]. He was a bachelor until he was 61, at which point he married a yoga instructor and had 6 children, the youngest born in his mid 70s. He’s now 85 and owns a yoga-Pilates studio with his wife. I wonder if Mark gave him a vial or two as well…
Also, I wonder why MJ didn’t go with his own sperm, assuming he didn’t.
IANAL but my understanding is nope. MJ’s name is on the birth certificate so as far as the law is concerned they’re all his children. At the same point, if it was discovered that there really was a Billie Jean out there who had a child by Michael Jackson- one proven to be his by DNA testing- but there was another man’s name on the birth certificate, it would take a lawsuit to establish any entitlement to MJ’s estate (if any).
One of the strangest things in the MJ case is that several networks and sources have belabored the fact that Debbie Rowe wasn’t provided for in Jackson’s will. Again IANAL, and certainly there’s little to nothing that’s usual in Michael Jackson but is it customary for a man (even a multimillionaire) to provide for his ex-wife in his will?
