We haven't really recently seen much of Michael Jackson's kids faces, who don't seem to look anything like their father. But the king of pop claims, that this boy and girl are indeed his biological offspring.

His kids, 12-year-old Prince Michael, and 11-year-old Paris were photographed in Los Angeles walking through a car park at a Los Angeles studio.

Jackson is usually careful in making sure his children are concealed behind masks, veils and scarves, however, he seemed to have forgotten to hide their faces that day. When they realized there were people watching them, he slapped on feathered pink and green masks onto their faces. Jackson's third child, the seven-year-old Prince Michael II known as Blanket, wasn't with the group.

That being said, Prince and Paris don't seem to look like their dad, but share similar features with their mother Debbie Rowe, who Jackson married in 1996. Blanket, who was born to a surrogate mother, is said to have dark skin like Jackson in his younger days.

During his intervew with Martin Bashir in 2003, Jackson insisted: "I used a surrogate mother (for Blanket) and my own sperm cells. I had my own sperm cells in my other two children. They are all my children."

Maybe we should be thankful his children don't literally look like him - the world is not ready for more duplicates of the ghost-white, teeny-nosed, bulging-eyed pop star.
