MJ’s kids say pop star father was ‘normal’ dad

LONDON - In a rare television interview, Michael Jackson’s eldest children have spoken about their late father insisting he was a normal dad who cooked them breakfast and went for walks on the beach.

Jackson’s parents Joe and Katherine and children Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket made their first public appearance since his death, in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, reports the BBC.

“I kind of felt like no-one understood what a good father he was,” Paris said.

Paris, who said her father was “the best cook ever”, told Winfrey he was “just a normal dad except for he was, like, the best dad ever”.

She said the veils he made them wear in public were sometimes uncomfortable, but she appreciated that her father wanted to protect them.

Katherine said all three children spoke a lot about their father.

“Paris, she’s very emotional. She talks about him all the time, and she’s a strong one. All the pictures on her wall in her bedroom are Michael,” she said. (ANI)
