Larry
Birkhead
is
always
looking
out
for
his
daughter.
The
photographer
got
candid
about
how
he
makes
sure
that
his
and
Anna
Nicole
Smith‘s
18-year-old
daughter
Dannielynn
Birkhead
only
keeps
people
around
who
have
her
best
interest
at
heart.
“It’s
hard,”
Larry
exclusively
told
E!
News’
Francesca
Amiker
ahead
of
Father’s
Day
2025. “When
she
was
younger
and
had
friends
over,
or
went
out,
it
was
tough
figuring
out
who
was
genuine.”
As
a
result,
the
52-year-old
is
selective
about
who
he
and
the
teenager
spend
time
with.
“I’ve
always
tried
to
protect
her,”
he
continued, “not
just
from
media
and
paparazzi,
but
even
people
we
let
into
our
circle.”
And
Larry
admitted
that
occasionally
his
efforts
haven’t
been
entirely
successful.
As
he
put
it, “Some
had
great
intentions,
but
others
didn’t.”
“Some
would
say, ‘I
want
to
hang
out
with
you
because
I
think
I
can
get
on
Entertainment
Tonight,’
or ‘Can
you
help
my
kid
model?
or ‘We
need
a
vacation
but
can’t
afford
it,'”
Larry
recalled. “You
hear
all
kinds
of
things.”
