Paris Jackson has spoken out about her father - the music legend Michael Jackson - and his parenting techniques for his children.
When you picture Michael Jackson, you will either think of the young lead star of the 60s sibling group The Jackson 5 or as the unstoppable King of Pop throughout the 80s and 90s. However, due to his huge on-stage persona, it is very difficult to picture Jacko as a father.
Nevertheless, Michael Jackson was a father to three children - 24-year-old Prince, 22-year-old Paris, and 19-year-old Bigi (formerly Blanket).
Now, model and musician Paris has given fans a glimpse into what life was like growing up with Michael Jackson as her father.

"My dad was really good at making sure we were cultured, making sure we were educated, and not just showing us like the glitz and the glam, like hotel hopping, five-star places," Paris told Campbell.
"We saw everything. We saw third-world countries - we saw every part of the spectrum," she added.

"It’s earning it, not just being entitled to certain things or thinking, ‘Oh I got this.’ It’s working for it, working hard for it - it’s, it’s something else entirely, it’s an accomplishment."
Paris was just 11 years old when her father passed away back in 2009. Michael was 50 years old when he died.
But Paris claims that her father's teachings have continued to play a huge role in how she manages her own career today.
After Campbell suggested that Paris was surely too famous to audition or turn up for model castings, the 22-year-old said that she has remained "a full believer that [she] should earn everything."
"I work hard, I study scripts, I do my thing," she added.
The two models also spoke about how Michael's love of all music impacted Paris' own taste and style.
"I'm obviously a fan of [her dad's] music," she said. "I know all of the lyrics to all of the songs, and I will definitely jam out to them."
Paris then added: "I know you kind of got to know my father a little bit, so I'm sure you knew that he loved classical music, and he loved jazz, and hip-hop, and RnB, and obviously the Motown stuff.
"But also, like, the radio's Top 40, he loved rock music, soft-rock, The Beatles - like, so we group up around all of that and I feel like all of that somehow influences my stuff."
