Paris Jackson impresses Philadelphia Eagles with cheerleading skills as team encourages her to audition
|
Paris Jackson seems to have temporarily shed her grungy image to become an all-American varsity cheerleader at her high school.
And the 14-year-old could be going straight from high school to the pros, as she's already won over the approval of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles' director of cheerleading, Barbara Zaun, according to TMZ.
After viewing footage of Michael Jackson's daughter cheering on her Buckley school’s boys basketball team last week, she gushed: 'We think Paris will make a great Eagle cheerleader!'

We thought that she had a lot of poise, confidence, and enthusiasm in her cheer performance,' Barbara continued. 'Paris has that 'wow factor' that makes a great cheerleader.'
Yet, one obstacle does stand in the way: she has to be at least 18-years-old and have a high school diploma in order to be part of the team, but that doesn't stop Barbara from the early anticipation.
'She is already very comfortable in the limelight, so we think she would definitely stand out and impress the judges ... We hope that she will try out for the team and be an Eagles cheerleader!' she exclaimed.
The seventh grader's transition to becoming a popular cheerleader comes after Paris last year described herself as an outsider who loves rock and roll.

The clique in my class, they don't like me or my friend because we're outside of the box,' she told Glamour magazine.
''We're not copycats. Prince calls me goth, but I'm more rock 'n' roll. I listen to older music like AC/DC.
''A ton of kids at school have made fun of me,' she added. 'If I had to give advice to other girls, I would say, "Hang loose and ignore them."
'They shouldn't faze you no matter how popular they think they are.'
Like most girls her age, Paris is clearly still experimenting with her image.

Paris has also made no secret of her desire to become an actress and has already landed a role in landed a role in the film Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys.
Despite her burgeoning fame, she has also made it clear that she doesn't expect any special treatment because of her famous father.
''A lot of people think he's the only reason I'm making it, but I want to show that I do have talent and that I can make it if I try. I want to be my own person.'
