Paris Jackson Marks Brother’s 21st Birthday With Sweet Throwback
Happy birthday, Prince Michael!
The eldest son of late King of Pop Michael Jackson is celebrating his 21st birthday today, and while the Jackson clan will turn out to join in the festivities and spare no expense in the process, there’s one member of the family that won’t be there with him. Don’t worry though – little sister Paris made sure her big brother knew how loved he is on his big day, taking to Instagram to pay tribute to Prince Michael with a super precious video that provides a glimpse into ultra secret childhood years; the ones that made us all ask, “Was their childhood…you know, normal?”
Michael Jackson was notoriously private on a good day, but when it came to his children’s privacy he bordered on obsessive – dressing the kids in elaborate, brightly colored masks to prevent the paparazzi from turning them into tabloid headlines and robbing them of their childhood.
The video below, posted to Paris’ official Instagram account, shows Paris and Prince Michael as toddlers in all their normal, happy, toddler glory, dancing around their dad’s house together and wrestling to see who could get the most camera time.
Sure, we know what Michael’s kids look like as adults after nearly a decade in the spotlight following their father’s death in 2009. But there’s something awesome about this incredibly secret look into what looks like a surprisingly normal childhood that consisted of playing with Hot Wheels and My Little Pony, Saturday morning cartoons, water guns and video games, from someone who’d love nothing more than to tell you all of the wonderful, whimsical things about her life as Michael Jackson’s daughter that we never got to see.
