Robert De Niro’s daughter Airyn, now 29, reveals her journey as a trans woman in a recent interview, expressing her desire to be truly seen beyond her celebrity status. In her candid discussion, she reflects on past insecurities influenced by societal standards and how her private upbringing shaped her identity. Despite the attention surrounding her father's fame, she feels misunderstood and emphasizes the difference between being visible and truly seen. Her recent public appearances mark her step into the spotlight on her own terms, as she acknowledges the challenges of growing up under the label of a 'nepo baby.'
I was always told I was too much of something or not enough of something growing up: Too big, not skinny enough. Not Black enough, not white enough. Too feminine, not masculine enough.
There's a difference between being visible and being seen. I've been visible. I don't think I've been seen yet.
I actually didn't find out about the Daily Mail thing until like a week after it was posted...They just sort of reminded me that people really don't know anything about me.
Reflecting on this, she shared some rare insight into navigating life as a private individual related to her father's fame.
