"I do have a regular childhood," she said during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "I mean, I'm treated the same. When I came to [my new school] they didn't know who I was. I was like, 'Yes, I have a chance to be normal'."
However, Paris confessed that she used to be baffled by the 'Beat It' singer's attempts to protect the family, even if they were done with the best intentions.
"[I'd say] 'This is stupid, why am I wearing a mask?'," she recalled. "But I kind of realised the older I got, he only tried to protect us and he'd explain that to us too."
In the same interview, Paris said that she was inspired to launch an acting career by Michael's 1988 film Moonwalker.
Paris's full interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show airs Thursday (December 15).
Watch a clip from Paris Jackson's Ellen interview below:
Normal? No Paris, please do not ever become normal, ever. Whatever neat little trick up your sleeve you have pull it out now. A horse sack over your head, sure I can go with that. Missing gloves with an extra finger sprinkled with fake diamond tinsel? Yes I could believe that too? A rope attached to an umbrella that would let you fly away on a blustery day, yes yes Paris I could desperately go for that. What’s the reward in being normal? I’d rather have you fantastical. Any stunt, nose job, hysterical fit, self induced addiction I could go for that, anything Paris to keep me locked away in permanent self disbelief in front of my chair would suit me just fine.

She is very cute and has a lot of charisma, just like her dad, I wish her well. however, I don’t mean to sound dramatic but this producer she’s signed up with is very shady. Her brothers are trying to discourage her from making this film. Paris Jackson also met Julian Rouas in August for the Jackson Tribute Perfumes … another sordid venture that went down the toilet. The road to fame is paved with hard knocks and sleazy characters like Julian Rouas and Stephen Sobisky. See the photos … http://jacksontributefragrances.blogspot.com.
