Prince Jackson: Paternity In Question Again, Marlon Brando Said To Be Sperm Donor
Michael Jackson’s oldest son Prince has been publicly scrutinized for years due to his light skin tone and lack of resemblance to the King of Pop, an issue that seems to never end for the 18-year-old. One of Michael Jackson’s closest friends, Mark Lester, recently dropped another claim: that Prince’s biological father may possibly be the late actor, Marlon Brando.
OK! reports that Mark Lester, 57, best known for his role of Oliver in the 1968 musical Oliver!, revealed that Brando was among that many people that donated sperm to Michael Jackson years ago.
Lester also stated that he thinks Prince resembles Brando, The Godfather actor who once spent many days with Michael Jackson at his Neverland Ranch. Lester recalled meeting Brando at Michael’s ranch in 2004.
“I went round to say hello to Brando. He was sat with his eyes closed with Michael and as I got in close he suddenly opened his eyes. It scared the life out of me. He looked remarkably like Prince does now.”
Yet Lester feels that Michael Jackson’s former dermatologist Arnold Klein, who recently passed away at age 70, was probably Prince’s real biological father. In fact, Lester revealed in an exclusive interview with the The Sun that he wouldn’t be surprised if Klein purposely used his own sperm, since he was out for financial gain.
“Klein was no good for Michael. He was out for his own gain. It would not surprise me if he inseminated his own sperm into Debbie. He bears more than a passing resemblance.”
Lester reference to Debbie Rowe, the biological mother of Michael’s two oldest children, hasn’t been questioned nearly as much as who the kids’ biological father is.
In addition to Marlon Brando, Lester indicated that the children’s sperm donor could have been a number of people, including Corey Feldman, Uri Geller, and even Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin.
“Michael asked all of his closest friends, Uri to Corey and Marlon to Macaulay. Macaulay was younger at the time but it was never dismissed as a possibility.”
For several years after Michael Jackson’s death, Lester maintained that he himself was more than likely the biological father of Paris, 17, who he feels has a strong resemblance to his own four daughters. Lester stated that Michael was never interested in the act of sex, but was extremely interested in becoming a father, and approached people to close to him for help.
“Michael was not really interested in the act of sex but rather wanted one of his inner circle to help him. He came to me on the phone one day in the Nineties and said I was clearly doing something right as I’d had four children. I thought it was a joke, then realized he was serious. I helped him but I have heard there was around half a dozen of his close circle.”
Despite the rumors, Prince is adamant that his only father was Michael Jackson, the man who raised him since birth. Last month, Prince finally fought back on social media against people who insist on harassing the 18-year-old about his paternity.

The tweet was just to let the people who would like to argue otherwise that their accusations don't phase me or my siblings

The majority of Michael Jackson fans agree with Prince Jackson. While some fans believe that the King of Pop was indeed the biological father, others feel that Michael is the father of all three children, regardless of the sperm donor, and it shouldn’t be questioned, as the birth certificates of all three of Michael’s children were signed by the “Thriller” singer himself.
