Malia Obama Works as Production Assistant on Halle Berry's New TV Show
It looks likes first daughter Malia Obama is moving toward a career in Hollywood.
According to New York Daily News, President Obama's 15-year-old daughter spent time last week working behind the scenes on Steven Spielberg's new sci-fi TV show in Los Angeles.
For one day, she got the opportunity to work as a production assistant on the set of the Academy Award-winning filmmaker's new television series, "Extant" starring Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry.
Malia Obama, who turns 16 on July 4, was accompanied by her mother, First Lady Michelle Obama, to the CBS Studios where she helped with re-shoots of the pilot episode. She also assisted with computer alignments and used a production slate before a take, reports the Daily Mail.
In January, the president revealed that his oldest teen daughter is an aspiring filmmaker and a fan of HBO's "Girls" during an interview with the New Yorker.
Last month, "Live! with Kelly & Michael" aired an interview with the president in which he talked about Malia's date to her first prom.
"Malia did have her first prom," said Obama.
"May we ask, did she go with a boy to the prom?" Kelly Ripa excitedly asked in response.
"I think this is all classified information," said the president.
Michael Strahan chimed in, trying to picture the challenge that Malia's date would have to face, including winning over the most powerful man in the world, in order to take her to prom.
"That's rough," Obama said with a chuckle. "You know what, I'm not too intimidating, I don't think."
The doting dad also talked about his reaction to seeing his little girl wearing high-heels for the first time.
"I think it's fair to say that the first time you see your daughter in heels is a little bit jarring," he said. "She's lovely. She's beautiful."
