Paris
Jackson has been offered her first acting role.
The
18-year-old daughter of the late music icon Michael Jackson will make her
acting debut on the American drama series called Star, which follows three
young singers hoping to get a break in
the music business, according to TMZ.
Paris
reportedly met with show director Lee Daniels last week for a screen test and
after a successful reading is reportedly "already in Atlanta filming"
the Empire spin-off show.
TMZ
also reports that it is unclear how big the role is or how many episodes she'll
be shooting.
Paris'
acting dreams come after she said during an appearance on the Ellen Degeneres
Show in 2011 that she aspired to be like her late father, who starred in a
number of movies.
She
said at the time: "When I was really little. My dad was in the movie,
Moonwalker, and I knew he could sing really well but I didn't know he could
act.
"I
saw that and I said, 'Wow, I want to be just like him.'"
And
Paris - whose mother is Debbie Rowe - looks set to start conquering Hollywood
as she has also been approached by a number of modelling agencies, as well as
several high-profile brands who feel she is the ideal candidate to become the
face of their products.
The
British broadcaster decided against airing an episode of the series Urban Myths
featuring Michael, Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando after concerns were
raised by Paris over the decision to cast Joseph Fiennes, a white British man,
as Michael.
She
tweeted: "I'm surprised the family's feelings were actually taken into
consideration for once, we all really do appreciate it more than y'all know.
