Michael Jackson’s closest friend, former child star Mark Lester, today claimed he gave the King of Pop his sperm in a special London clinic so that he could have children. “I gave Michael my sperm so that he could have kids and I believe Paris is my daughter,” said Mark.

According to Mark, Jackson was worried he would never father his own kids because of his crippling shyness. The pop icon was, as Mark put it, “asexual”. “Michael found it very difficult to have relationships with women. He found the sexual act something he couldn’t do.”

Lester added, “When he was about 16 to 17, he had a very famous female child star who basically jumped on him, tried to seduce him. He became very scared and found it so disturbing, he couldn’t perform. Michael wasn’t gay. But I’d say he was asexual.”

“The Thriller star was also very conscious of his own body as he had vitiligo (a skin lightening condition) all over,” 51-year-old Mark said.

Then in one of our regular phone conversations he said he realised having kids was a natural thing but that he just couldn’t do it. I mentioned the fact there are alternative ways of going about it. We even joked that you can use a turkey baster referring to artificial insemination. I think he’d already tried using his own sperm but it hadn’t worked for him, so I made an off-the-cuff comment saying: “Try mine.”
