In that 2020 interview, Paris revealed that she'd been 'playing a character' this whole time - and admitted that she wanted to change her legacy - as well as what people thought of her - with a tell-all documentary on her life.
Speaking to news reporters on 7News Australia while promoting that aforementioned documentary - called This is Paris - the star used her 'real voice' for the first time, leaving viewers shocked.

Paris admitted that she'd been putting her famous baby voice as part of her public persona and that she isn't the 'dumb blonde' everyone thought she was.
"This entire time I have been playing a character so the world has never truly known who I am," she said in an uncharacteristically deep voice to the one we'd become used to.
"I feel it's time for the world to finally know how I was. I feel that I've been through so much," she told reporters Sam Armytage and David Koch.
Paris went on to say she she wanted to change her 'legacy'.
"The real me is someone who is actually brilliant. I'm not a dumb blonde, I'm just really good at pretending to be one", she continued.
"I don't want to be remembered for some airhead, but the businesswoman I am."
Naturally, fans over on Twitter at the time were totally stunned at Paris' revelation.
"Paris Hilton talking in her real voice and not her baby voice is SUCH a fucking SERVE!," one wrote.
"It's 2020 and locals are just now finding out paris hilton's baby voice was fake," said another.
A third added: "I'm glad to hear Paris dropping the baby voice.
"She's a grown woman and can finally be her authentic self.
"Paris Hilton's documentary really humanizes her."
"It shows you a different and real side of her. Not the baby voice and glam side. The real side," said another.
This Is Paris is still available to watch on YouTube now.
