Anna Nicole Smith’s Daughter, Dannielynn, Has Already Had Modeling Offers

In 2016, a modeling contract is practically a birthright for celebrity kids. Larry Birkhead, the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s 10-year-old daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead, revealed in a Monday interview with Today that he has already been approached about his offspring.

“People call me all the time and say, can she be in a movie, can she model?” Birkhead, 43, said. “I didn’t care about it, so I’d say no, she’s not interested. She’s just a regular kid. She’s into technology now, and she’s into games and these YouTube videos.”

The fifth-grader lives with her dad in Kentucky, where they spend most of the year away from the paparazzi who trailed Anna Nicole and later him during his high-profile paternity case. The exception is each May, when father and daughter appear at the Kentucky Derby.

“I made a conscious decision a long time ago to move to Kentucky,” Birkhead told Today. “I do that on purpose because it takes away the chase, it takes away the curiosity, it takes away the false stories.”

Birkhead’s interview aired days after Dannielynn’s 10th birthday, on Sept. 8. This year, the two celebrated the occasion with a trip to Universal Studios Hollywood.

“I’m not the best dad; I have my faults, but I do the best I can with what the situation is,” Birkhead said. “We make the best of it, and I think Dannielynn’s best days are still to come. She’s got such a bright future in front of her, and I try every day to keep a little bit of the memory alive of her mom.”

And he’s thought about how Anna Nicole would rate him as a dad.

“Other than I don’t dress her in pink every day, I think she’d would probably think I’m doing a pretty good job,” he said.

The single dad said his daughter has suggested that he date, but he’s still mourning the 2007 death of a then 39-year-old Anna Nicole from an accidental drug overdose.

“There’s things left unanswered, things that I didn’t get to say to [Anna Nicole], and it’s tough when you go to school and you’re filling out the forms,” Birkhead said. “It gets me every year. And you have to put ‘deceased’ on her mom’s information.”

“There’s days that if I stop and think about it, and you ask me about it, you will see a tear, but every other minute of the day you will see a smile. That’s just how it goes.”

Dannielynn looks pretty happy — and pretty comfortable in front of the camera herself.
