Paris Jackson is growing up -- and ready to go Hollywood.
The late Michael Jackson's 13-year-old daughter has been cast in her first feature film, Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys.

After British paper The Sun reported the casting news, the flick's official website (featuring professional headshots of Paris) confirmed that the pop star's eldest will headline the oddball cast of the underwater fantasy flick.
Her castmates include Larry King and wife Shawn King, N Sync's Joey Fatone and Love Boat alum Ted Lange.

Based on fantasy novels by Dennis H. Christen, Jackson plays Lundon O'Malley; the plot involves a dolphin turned into a human, a teenage boy who morphs into a dragonfly and a jellyfish queen who changes into an evil fairy godmother.
Profits from the film -- principal shooting has just begun -- will go towards funding the U.S. school system. Michael Jackson, who died at age 50 in June 2009, famously became a child star when he and his brothers burst on the music scene in the early 1970s as the Jackson Five.

Tell Us: Is Jackson too young to start acting?
Tell Us What You Think
31Why do you believe that because the kids look white, that they are not Michaels blood.? Black people can have any race, My daughter is very light, with red hair, people use to ask me if her father was white. Black people can have any race, we are so mixed up. My granddaughter looks all white, yet she looks like my son in every way, but as white as her mother, go search our history.
Good for her. Aim so glad her grandmother does not hide these kids from the public. FYI google her birth mother...she looks just like her.
She's a beautiful girl and I wish her well.
I am so proud of her.What up with some rude comments she is a beautiful girl and a Jackson.She is just a 13 year old girl and i hate seeing how some people r being so rude and saying dirty things.Like really shes only 13 and i think Michael would be very proud of her for going after her dreams.Shes not too young to follow her dreams.I wish people who commented didn't say filthy rude things here .Michael would be disgusted if he read half of these comments i know its not everybody but some people typed really rude nasty things.Go Paris i'm so proud of you :) stand up tall and proud you are beautiful and i know the movie will be awesome :)
I wonder at what age she will take her clothes off.
She's a beautiful youg lady but definitely not a Jackson by blood. As far as the kids being happy, you wouldn't look too happy either, if someone always had a camera in your face.
How beautiful for Paris talent to show up and out, she looks just like her Daddy to me,,have fun and it is all just a movie, and you will be able to bring all you want out sun,,amazing little girl, ready blessing be with you and you cast members, this is so wonderful
This is one movie I will definitely see. I am a supporter of MJ's children. I hope they will succeed in whatever they do!
She doesn't look anything like Michael Jackson, she is probably the daughter of the dermatologist who used to treat Michael. Didn't he donate the sperm to impregnate Jackson's second wife ? It seems like it.
Wow she looks way older than 13 but she is a beautiful girl defenantly has a micheal jackson touch
I think that is great for her she probably will get more roles just because of her father. They are his Surrogate children they are not black.
Since kids start acting at birth I would say no, she's not too young and she is BEAUTIFUL!!
I wish her only the best in life and she will succeed!!
she looks like her dad
That child looks like hell, who's taking care of her? For real...

Am I the only one that remembers to what lengths MJ went to just to keep his kids out of the public eye? As soon as MJ was gone, you see his kids everywhere. The Jackson family is pimping out the next generation. We have no idea what Paris wants. They do not come across as happy kids. Hope I am wrong.
idk how this will effect them if she becomes some kind of star...
Why is everyone convinced she's going to bomb out or that the film will be a dud?? People said that about "Gone With The Wind" & "Titanic," too!! Paris has a unique beauty, and her father's sweet smile...I knew she would go places!! She should put her hair up & get it out of her face, though, so we can see her gorgeous eyes!! And WHY are you swine throwing up Michael into the story when it has nothing to do with him??
I would just hope that Paris doesn't grow up to fast. That was the problem with her dad, not having a childhood.
