Oliver star Mark Lester is BANNED from contacting Paris Jackson after claiming she could be his ‘biological child’
OLIVER star Mark Lester has said he's BANNED from contacting Paris Jackson after claiming she could be his "biological child".
The ex-actor exclusively told The Sun on Sunday in 2015 how he was one of many stars close to the late Michael Jackson who were approached to donate sperm so that the singer could have children.
But now Mark is claiming that after reaching out to Paris, the "shutters came down" from the Jackson family.
Mark also claimed that Madonna was the reason Michael was "scared of women" after she allegedly propositioned him in a hotel room.
In an interview with the Daily Mail he said: "When he (Michael) entered the room, she (Madonna) was in bed, threw the covers off and was completely naked.
"He took one look at her and screamed and ran away — not something I’d have done!"
Mark found fame playing the title role in Lionel Bart's musical film in 1968.
His friendship with Michael started in the late-Seventies as Oliver was the Bad singer's favourite musical.
Speaking to about "donating his sperm" to Michael, he said: "I was just helping out a friend.
"I think he had a problem with actually doing the physical act of sex and a very low sperm count as well."

He said he was surprised when Micheal told him that he wanted children but "had problems" and joked that Mark, who has four children, Lucy, 26, Harriet, 23, Olivia, 22 and Felix, 18, "only had to look at his own wife and she’d get pregnant".
Mark explained that the late singer actually wanted him to make a sperm deposit at a Harley Street clinic, he said: "Michael said it would all be completely confidential and I knew he was asking others in his inner circle — actors Macaulay Culkin, Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson, Uri Geller, people from Harvard with doctorates, all sorts."
His claims that he was a "sperm donor" didn't come out until after the singer's death in 2009, and Mark claims the news caused the Jackson family to "shut him out" and unable to approach Paris.
He said: "The [Jackson] family closed ranks. The shutters came down.
"In any event, Prince [20] and Paris are old enough to make their own decisions."
Asked him he had since tried to contact her, he said: "I wouldn’t know where to start.
"I can’t be bothered. I’ve got four kids of my own and I’m about to take on another two [children of his new wife] — that’s my family."
