As the series lead, Fishback opened up about what it was like working with the budding Obama daughter.
“I think she’s so intelligent,” she toldE!
News, explaining that Obama was on set during the first episode’s filming.
“She’s so cool.
I just want to know what she wants to do next.
Maybe we can do something together.”
Show creators Donald Glover and Janine Nabers had similarly positive things to say about working with Malia Obama.
“She’s an incredible writer and artist,” Nabers toldVanity Fair, also noting her professionalism.
“She’s just, like, an amazingly talented person,” he said.
“She’s really focused, and she’s working really hard.”
“You’re Obama’s daughter.
So if you make a bad film, it will follow you around.”
“She was fantastic.
This work ethic was echoed by Lena Dunham, who worked with Obama on HBO’s “Girls.”
“Obviously, we weren’t making her go get our coffee,” Dunham shared.
“But she wanted to do all the jobs, that was the cool thing.
She was totally enthusiastic.”
