Paris Jackson has the “most beautiful” relationship with late father Michael Jackson but no longer feels comfortable discussing details.<\/p>\n
In a candid interview for the Trying Not to Die podcast with Jack Osbourne on Tuesday, the singer-actress described how she used to feel she “owed it to people” to speak about her music icon dad, who died at the age of 50 in 2009.<\/p>\n
“There’s definitely a certain element where I felt I had to share everything,” she began. “And that has drastically changed in the last few years, because I don’t really feel like any of us owe anyone anything.”<\/p>\n
Paris went on to note that she has no desire to express her “love in a copycat way”, for instance, by sharing posts via social media to mark Michael’s birthday or death anniversary.<\/p>\n
“I’m now learning I can have my own personal relationship, and I’m allowed to be private about it and I’m now like, my relationship is the most beautiful relationship ever,” the 28-year-old continued. “I’m in a very beautiful spot with my dad and I love that and it’s no one’s business and I don’t have to share that with anybody. And there’s a lot of freedom in that, which is really cool.”<\/p>\n
Earlier in the conversation, Paris maintained that Michael instilled a strong work ethic in her and her brothers, Prince, 29, and Bigi, 24.<\/p>\n
“There was a lot about my upbringing that was silver spoon-esque, but there was so much of it that had to be earned. Like there was very much a focus on developing a work ethic,” she added. “And so, I did see something recently where it’s like, ‘You don’t have to work,’ and it’s like no, I do. I really do. Because I’m like a shark; if I stop moving, I’ll die. It makes me happy to move and work and be productive. I need it for my wellbeing.”<\/p>\n
Paris unveiled her latest musical project, Teenage Drama, earlier this month.<\/p>\n
The Gringo actress’s famous family has been in the spotlight in recent weeks, due to the release of the film Michael, which Paris had previously distanced herself from.<\/p>\n
The musical biographical drama, starring her cousin Jaafar Jackson in the lead role, is the second-highest-grossing movie of the year so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paris Jackson has the “most beautiful” relationship with late father Michael Jackson but no longer feels comfortable discussing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":447454,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,157,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-447453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=447453"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447453\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/447454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=447453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=447453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
