Michael Jackson's Children Say Singer Was 'Best Dad Ever'

Michael Jackson's children have spoken for the first time about their father, who died last year.

In a TV interview with Oprah Winfrey, the singer's eldest children - Paris, 13, and Prince Michael, 12 – said their dad was misunderstood.

"I kind of felt like no-one understood what a good father he was," Paris said.

She also revealed that he father was a good cook, adding that he was "just a normal dad except for he was, like, the best dad ever".

Paris said she wanted to be an actress, while Prince said he wanted to work in movies behind the camera.

The interview, broadcast in the US last night (November 9), also features Jackson's parents, Katherine and Joe.
