Billy Bush: How excited are you, Paris, for the ceremony—and how important is it to you?

Paris: It’s very important that we engrave Dad’s glove and shoes and keep his memory alive at the Chinese Theatre.

Billy Bush: Your father had a huge love for the Chinese Theatre. If he were here today, what would he feel?

Prince: He would be proud.

Paris: He would be grateful.

Billy Bush: If it weren’t for Michael Jackson, I’d be sorry if they paved over Hollywood Boulevard!

Prince: (laughs) He always wanted his name to be recorded in front of the Chinese Theatre, so I think he’s reached his goal now.

Billy Bush then asks which of them dances better, and there’s some friendly banter between Paris and Blanket. Prince and Paris believe Blanket dances better, but Blanket says Paris’s dancing is better.

Billy Bush: Out of you three, who dances the best? Does Blanket dance well?

(Prince gestures toward Blanket.)

Paris: Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely.

Blanket: Shut up, Prince. Paris dances well.

Billy Bush: Is that so?

Paris: Aaaaaah!

Billy Bush: What’s your favorite song?

Blanket: I love all of them.

Prince: Thriller and Bad.

Billy Bush: Two awesome songs.

Paris: That’s a hard choice—You Are My Life.

Billy Bush: Beautiful... Why that song?

Paris: I don’t know, I feel a special connection to it. And I also like Human Nature.

Billy Bush: And you’re an actor. Now you’re busy playing in the film “Land(s) Bridge,” and it seems like you’re the only actor in this movie.

Paris: No, there are other actors too. For example, just like the image of Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean, in this film other actors also play roles in the form of animals and creatures.

Billy Bush: Are you ready to live as an actor?

Paris: Yes, I’m ready. Definitely.

Billy Bush: Will you also act in the series Glee?

Paris: I don’t know. I don’t sing much. Of course, sometimes I do.

Billy Bush: More acting, then?

Paris: Yes.

Justin Bieber was also there to meet Michael’s children backstage. He said about Michael:

“I wished I could meet him. My first single came out in the same week he passed away, and it was very sad. He was someone I truly wanted to meet in person.”
