Paris Jackson wants to change how the world sees beauty. The daughter of Michael Jackson has opened up about breaking the beauty standards in modeling industry during an interview with i-D magazine. Despite her career as a model, Paris claims that she isn't embarrassed by her physical flaws, like stretch marks and cellulite, because they don't define her beauty.
"I'm not symmetrical, I'm not a size zero, I eat hella burgers and endless amounts of pizza," she shares. "I can't fit into a runway sample size of designer clothes, I have scars and stretch marks and acne and I have cellulite. I'm human. Not a dress-up doll. The idea that we all have to fit one idea of beauty is outrageous and ridiculous because 'perfection' is just an option."
"Beauty is not measured by numbers, or symmetry, or shapes, or sizes, or colors, or anything like that," the 19-year-old model/actress adds. "Beauty, true beauty, should be measured by the soul, the character, integrity, intentions and mindset of a person, what comes out of their mouth. How they believe. Their heart."
Paris further notes that her quest for fame is to gain influence and share positivity with other people. "Being positive requires a lot of patience and inner strength, and most of my posts I think reflect that. I like to keep my follower peeps up to date with where I'm at on my healer's path and hopefully influence them in an enlightening way," she continues. "A big reason I want to change this fashion/beauty stigma, so it's not as difficult for people around the world to feel beautiful just the way they are."
