Barack Obama Reacts to Malia Obama Dropping Last Name Professionally

And now that they’re grown, the 44th President can’t help but brag about the way his daughters turned out, gushing that Malia’s film was in “all these fancy film festivals,” and that she’d had the opportunity to work with incredible talent like Donald Glover. He was especially proud of how Malia and Sasha have matured, despite the difficulties of being famous at a young age.

“They’ve turned out amazing,” he said with a smile. “I can’t brag about them enough.”

And Barack isn’t the only one boasting about Malia. Donald—who also produced Malia’s The Heart—had only incredible things to say about working with her when she was a staff writer on his Amazon Prime show Swarm.

“I feel like she’s just somebody who’s gonna have really good things coming soon,” he told Vanity Fair in March 2022. “Her writing style is great. We can’t be easy on her just because she’s the [former] president’s daughter.”

Malia is hardly the first person in Hollywood to drop their famous last name. Keep reading to find out which other celebrity offspring have chosen something different.
