Malia Obama Just Landed an Internship With a Famous Hollywood Producer

Malia Obama Just Landed an Internship With a Famous Hollywood Producer

We’re going to miss having the Obama family in the White House for many reasons (not least of which are Barack and Michelle’s adorable #relationshipgoals moments), but while saying goodbye is definitely hard, we can rest assured that the Obama family’s work is far from over.

While its patriarch & matriarch are continuing on with the political sphere (Barack is busy setting up his foundation and writing a book while Michelle is working on a memoir) after a well-deserved vacation, Malia is making waves in a different industry entirely.

According to E!, Obama’s elder daughter has an internship all lined up with Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein — you might recognize him for such well-known works as Pulp Fiction and Clerks. It’s not a terribly shocking choice: Malia has expressed interest in filmmaking in the past, even working on Lena Dunham (one of many celebs at the Women’s March today)’s Girls and spending time on the set of Halle Berry’s TV show Extant. She certainly isn’t using her gap year between high school and Harvard to be lazy!

Malia’s younger sister won’t be slouching off either: Sasha is still going to high school in Washington, DC where the family will continue to live until she graduates, but we’re more than confident we’ll see great things from her sometime soon as well: These girls #hustle.

Are you surprised by Malia’s budding career path? Sound off over @BritandCo!
