Barack and Michelle Obama’s elder daughter, Malia, has recently ditched her famous family surname. This significant change comes as the 25-year-old embraces her debut in Hollywood as a filmmaker. The budding director adopted the new stage name ahead of the Sundance Film Festival premiere of her short film, The Heart in Utah.
What is Malia’s new name?
The Harvard graduate had forgone her last name, Obama, back in January. In the Sundance Institute’s Meet the Artist spotlight video, the former US President’s daughter was referred to as Malia Ann.
In her spotlight video, Malia described the film as “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.”
