Malia Obama Ditches Her Famous Last Nameคำพูดจาก เว็บสล็อต มาแรงอันดับ 1!
Malia Obama is voting for a fresh start.
As her Hollywood career takes off, Barack and Michelle Obama's oldest daughter has dropped her last name in favor of her middle name, officially going by Malia Ann for her newest film project The Heart.
Fans did a double take after Malia's pen name was revealed in the Sundance Institute's "Meet the Artist" spotlight video, which introduced her as filmmaker Malia Ann, seemingly in an effort to distance herself from her powerful parents, who have also launched careers in entertainment with Higher Ground Productions.
Although the former president and first lady are now movie moguls, Michelle and Barack did not attend the 2024 Sundance Film Festival earlier this month, when Malia, 25, made her red carpet debut at the premiere of The Heart.
Malia described her project as "an odd little story, somewhat of fable, abut a man grieving the death of his mother after she leaves him an unusual request in her will," as she put it in her Sundance spotlight.

While the film—which was produced by Donald Glover's company Gilga—was Malia's first time directing, she already has writing credits under her belt as a staff writer on his Amazon Prime show Swarm.คำพูดจาก เกมส์สล็อตได้เงินจริง

"She's a very professional person," Swarm's co-creator Janine Nabers said of the Harvard grad in a January 2023 Vanity Fair interview. "She's an incredible writer and artist."
Donald also echoed the sentiments, singing Malia's praises and noting her famous parents didn't play a role in how she was treated on set.
"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."
Of course, Malia is not the first child of a celebrity to take a stage name in Hollywood in order to distance themselves from their families. Nicolas Cage changed his last name from Coppola, while Angelina Jolie dropped her surname, Voight.
