Michael Jackson’s Daughter Paris Jackson Reveals Dad Chose Elizabeth Taylor To Be Her Godmother Because Of THIS Reason

Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris Jackson reflects on her childhood she spent in the spotlight, revealing why her father chose Elizabeth Taylor as her godmother.

Paris Jackson, daughter of Michael Jackson, has made it clear why her father picked Elizabeth Taylor as godmother. This is because he wanted Paris to have a maternal figure who understands the burdens of being brought up in the public eye from a very young age. While the King of Pop’s daughter spent most of her childhood shielded from the cameras by wearing masks, the Cleopatra actress began her acting career at the age of seven.

Paris reflected on Taylor’s presence as her godmother in the BBC documentary series titled Elizabeth Taylor: Rebel Superstar. She said, “There’s definitely a part of him that knew that we would have a very similar experience.”

She recalled being homeschooled and not knowing how to be socially aware. Paris, during the documentary, explained that it was because she was homeschooled that she did not spend time with children her age, she believed Taylor would understand where she was coming from. The Wilted singer added, “I think it was just the same for her” referring to the National Velvet star’s experiences.

Dame Elizabeth made her acting debut in 1939 at just seven years old. The Hollywood legend took her last breath in 2011, following the unexpected death of Michael Jackson in 2009.
