Michael Jackson's daughter Paris Jackson Star as Jesus in upcoming indie movie Habit

Paris Jackson Star as Jesus

Paris Jackson has just landed her daring part. The 22-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson will play Jesus Christ in a new film named Habit, also starring Bella Thorneand Gavin Rossdale. Paris' gender-bending take on the religious figure includes a nose ring, allled waves and a traditional robe in the very first look at the upcoming indie film.

A press release says Habit is going to follow a smart street party girl with a fetish Jesus who gets caught up in a violent drug trade and finds a way out by masquerading as a nun. Entertainment Weekly producer Donovan Leitch also said that music would also play a central role in the film, explaining, "We intentionally stacked the film with rock stars and will have a very rocking soundtrack."

Outside her performing efforts, Paris continues to model and perform in her acoustic rock group, The Sunflowers, with boyfriend Gabriel Glenn. In January, the little daughter of the late King of Pop walked in the last runway show for Jean-Paul Gaultier.
