I have this complex. I don’t like too much exposure. I don’t know why it is. Maybe it’s bred in me, because my dad always told me to be humble and don’t think you’re too good.
I grew up in an athletic family. My dad played and my brother currently plays professional soccer, so I’m athletic.
I’m a polygamist. I can afford to have as many wives as I can afford to have. All Africans believe in it. My dad has four wives.
My mother told me, ‘Always do your best,’ and my dad says, ‘It’s important to be humble. That’s the key. They’re not there for you. You’re there for them.’
I remember being in St. Lucia and my dad taking me out on a jet ski. I was very young, too young, but, yup, dad does like to break rules.
And then before going back for my sophomore year, I decided to change my major to arts and sciences, and my dad cut a deal with me: He said if I’d quit school he’d pay my rent for the next three years, as if I were in school.
My interests are guitars, cars, and vacation. I’ve been playing guitar all my life. My dad was a professional guitarist, but I’m terrible, which lets me off the hook, so I just play for myself.
My dad’s uncles were illegal bookmakers who were known in the area as Peaky Blinders, that’s the stories I heard.
My dad left home when I was super young, so it was my mum bringing me and my brother up.
Definitely for me, my personality, having children was a definite sea change. I found it very, very hard to balance show business and being a dad. The narcissism of show business and the complete, total focus of it was very difficult.
My mom and dad will look at me and my husband, and they’re like ‘I feel so sorry for this child! He’s not eating fish sticks and pizza!’ I’m like, ‘We try to give it to him, but he doesn’t wanna eat it!’
I grew up in a two-bedroom house with my grandfather, my mom and dad and four kids. I slept on the couch or on the floor, and I always wanted to have my own space.
As I have told many, the only goal my dad had for me was to keep me alive to reach the age of reason! He had no aspirations for me vis-a-vis education, wealth, or anything else!
For some reason, people love to hate a Cyrus. I don’t know what it is, but I remember when I was a kid, and my dad was at the height of his success, all people wanted to do was make fun of me for it.
I remember, my first time in the studio, I was with my dad, Dark Skies. I was, like, 4 years old. It changed my life. I was like, ‘I’ve found my playground.’
I was born on March 3, 1970, as Mom and Dad’s stardom was nearing its peak, while The Johnny Cash Show, was airing regularly on network TV.
Actually, the reason I’m a huge Arsenal fan is because when my dad moved over from Sri Lanka, he lived in north London and fell in love with Arsenal. Then he moved to East Grinstead and bought a pub, which he turned into an Arsenal pub.
Everything I learned about the game of baseball, I learned from my dad.
My dad was the town drunk. Most of the time that’s not so bad; but New York City?
I know my dad always wanted to heal the world, and so I think it would be great to follow in his footsteps.
I had thought of joining my dad in his stock broking business in Delhi.
Seeing photographs of my dad, Bert, on the beach with a knotted handkerchief on his head to avoid getting sunburn still brings a smile to my face.
There is no one luckier than me. I’ve been so lucky my dad calls me Forrest Gump.
When me and my dad are walking down the road, sometimes we catch someone with Grealish on the back – sometimes it does bring a tear to my dad’s eye.
I was exposed to the public because my dad is an actor. My pictures went online at a young age. A lot of negativity came from there. Not just with me, but it happened with a lot of my friends who are in the public eye.
