Having "role model" #LionelRichie as a dad helped ease #SofiaRichieGrainge's transition into fame. "He taught me to never have that ‘Oh god, not today’ attitude. He’s another level of megastar, and my whole life I’ve watched him."⁠ ⁠ She talked to @townandcountrymag about how he handles the spotlight with "such grace." Richie Grainge said her father "embraces everyone who comes up to him. He’s appreciative, he’s thankful." She's never seen him say no to a picture, or be rude to anyone who walks up to him.⁠ ⁠ Since she "spent a lot of time just trying to find my place in the world,” Richie Grainge thinks "everyone wants to be like their parents when they’re growing up"— which is why she always admired Lionel.⁠ ⁠ Link in bio.⁠ ⁠ ✏️: People⁠ 📷: Getty⁠
