“Never Felt Any Different Than Anyone Else”: Wayne Gretzky’s Daughter Gave a Fitting Reply to ‘Weird’ Questions About Her Father in 2005

NHL legend Wayne Gretzky‘s daughter Paulina Gretzky aspired to be a social media star from a very young age. Not taking her daddy’s trail, Paulina wanted to follow her passion for the entertainment biz. When asked about how it felt growing up as a legend’s daughter, she talked about her ordinary childhood. In an interview, the Ice Hockey legend’s offspring opened up about her career choice, her father’s reaction to that, and her unusually normal childhood.

In her interview with the Flare, Paulina admitted, “I always felt like I fit in. I never felt any different than anyone else. Every day, people ask me, ‘Do you feel weird about your dad being famous?’ And I’m like, ‘No. No, I don’t. He’s my dad.'” 

Being Wayne Gretzky’s daughter was normal for Paulina

“The Great One’s” daughter and the “bikinied goddess,” Paulina would have a fascinating childhood. But apparently, it’s the inverse in real. She grew up like any other child. Growing up in Los Angeles as a starkid seemed normal, surrounded by celebrities.

When asked, she promptly answered the interviewer of Flare that maybe her dad is an NHL legend for the outer world. But for her, he was just a normal father at home. Her parents even used to drop her at school like others. She wanted to make her mark on the world. It astounded the world when Gretzky’s daughter made it to the elite list featuring the likes of Hollywood celebrities.

Palina hates being shrouded

Borne out of a model, Pauline always aspired to be one. Despite being a good hockey player, the Gretzky daughter aspired to become a model. Just like her model mother, Janet Jones, Paulina entered the glamorous world to dabble with her passion. She was a crowd singer since her teenage.

The hockey legend seemed to be a little surprised by his daughter’s career choice. Though when asked Wayne stated he didn’t see her as a “sex symbol” but as a “good girl”.

Constant comparison of her being successful and discussion about her dad being the reason behind it made Paulina agitated. She shared, “the expectations everybody has for me that put me in the shadow of my father… I’m just trying to live my own life, and they need to relax and let me be and see that I’m a 23-year-old girl.” Clearly, she didn’t like to be veiled under her dad’s shadow.
