She is the daughter of late pop icon Michael Jackson, but Paris, who has landed her first movie role, says she wants to be known by her own talent.

“I love my dad, and I’m proud to be his daughter. I just don’t think the title ‘M.J.’s daughter’ fits me,” the 14-year-old told Glamour magazine.

“A lot of people think that (my dad’s) the only reason I’m making it, but I want to show that I do have talent and that I can make it if I try. I want to be my own person,” she added.

Paris has been roped in to star in the upcoming film “Lundon’s Bridge and the Three Keys” and she admits many people were not happy with her decision to turn to acting, reports people.com.

“A lot of people don’t want me to (be an actress) but Aunt La Toya believes in me. She heard me play a little guitar and sing. She really does encourage me; it’s just awesome of her,” she said. (IANS)
