Robert de Niro’s daughterEirin said she was transsexual. In an interview with ‘Them’On the “transition to this new identity”, the aspiring actress and model shared revealing details of her life as one of the seven children of the famous actress. Her mother is actress Toukie Smith.

“There is a difference between being visible and seeing you”said De Niro’s 29 -year -old daughter. After the “Daily Mail” and other reports referred to a recent appearance and got “wrong information”, Airyn explained: “They just reminded me in some way that people really know nothing about me.”

Addressing what means as “nepo baby” (where “nepo”, “nepotism”, that is, nepotism) because of her father, said: “I didn’t grow up having a side role in one of dad’s films or going to business meetings or watching premieres. My dad always told us to find our own way … I would like to succeed with my own value. “she notes.

Elsewhere Airyn reports: “Obviously, no parent is perfect, but I am grateful that both of my parents agreed to keep me out of the limelight. I was told that they wanted to have the most normal childhood as possible. “

Airyn also spoke honestly about body deformity and beauty patterns. “They always told me that I was excessive in something or that I wasn’t enough in something growing up: very big, not quite impossible. Not quite black, not white enough. Very feminine, not quite masculine »he said with disarming honesty.

Drawing inspiration from her mother and “the influence that black women had on me,” she continued, she decided to start hormone therapy last November.

“I would like – I hope – to inspire at least another person like me who is black, who is queer, who does not have a very small number”said Airyn. “I would like to see more trans women, more black women who, perhaps, have a larger body or do not fit the mold they want to place.”
