Growing up in front of the eyes of the public isn’t something Malia Obama is not familiar with. Being the daughter of the former president of the United States, Barak Obama, she has spent her life under the limelight, and even today, the media is interested in her every move.
The 25-year-old just presented her directorial debut, The Heart, at the Sundance Film Festival. In the Sundance Institute’s “Meet the Artist” spotlight video, Malia Obama revealed she was going by the name Malia Ann, thus ditching her moniker.
Malia, who was born Malia Ann Obama on July 4, 1998, has her middle name honoring her paternal grandmother, who died from ovarian cancer at the age of 52 in 1995, and now, she has dropped her last name in favor of her middle name.
Speaking of the short film for which she served as both director and screenwriter, Malia said. “This is an odd little story, somewhat of fable, about a man grieving the death of his mother after she leaves him an unusual request in her will.” Further, in the YouTube clip of the short film, she wrote, “The film is about lost objects and lonely people and forgiveness and regret, but I also think it works hard to uncover where tenderness and closeness can exist in these things.”
The Heat isn’t her first attempt into the profession. Previously, the Harvard grad worked in the writers’ room on Donald’s Amazon Prime show Swarm, co-writing the fifth episode, “Girl, Bye.”
“She’s a very professional person,” Swarm‘s co-creator Janine Nabers said Malia in a January 2023 Vanity Fair interview. “She’s an incredible writer and artist. She made significant contributions… She’s very, truly committed to her craft.”
Swarm‘s executive producer Stephen Glover also spoke of Malia. “We can’t be easy on her just because she’s the [former] President’s daughter,” he told Vanity Fair. “No, she is really down-to-earth and cool. So it’s not an issue at all.”
Malia Obama isn’t the first celebrity who made the decision to ditch their family name. Other celebs have done that before, including Nicolas Cage, who changed his last name from Coppola, and Angelina Jolie, who dropped her surname, Voight.
For her directorial debut, Malia looked cozy, with minimal makeup, her curly hair down with small braids scattered throughout.
A child weighing 7.2 kg was born in 1983. How is he still alive after 39 years?
The 1983 birth of the kid Kevin Robert Clark generated a lot of media attention throughout the nation. After all, the infant was 7.2 kg in weight! He was the largest infant in the country.
They had previous children who were equally gigantic, so Patricia Clark, Kevin’s mother, expected that the child would probably be enormous, but she did not expect such a shock.
When the child was taken home from the hospital, it was discovered that all of his clothes were too tiny for him and that he couldn’t fit in a conventional bed.
When Kevin was 12 years old, he was taller than 152 cm. “Given my rapid height increase, finding proper apparel and footwear was the most difficult. It was difficult since I needed clothing all the time, he recalls.
Because of his height, everyone coerced him into trying sports; they forced him to play basketball. Kevin, however, struggled with sports since he had little passion for the activity. He loved hunting and fishing, though.
After that, Kevin enlisted in the US Air Force, and he is currently a state police officer. He is presently 39 years old, 136 kg in weight, and over 2 meters tall. The man reveals that he doesn’t enjoy being in the spotlight since, literally when he was a baby, he was the subject of several jokes that were circulated in the media. Over time, the man becomes more and more upset by all the jokes and stories that are told about him. Therefore, we do not suggest…
However, Kevin’s life has generally progressed; he discovered his true love, got a puppy, and the guy is happy. When someone asks if I play basketball, I answer, “Do you play mini golf.” John claims.
