 Alicia Keys reveals why she told her dad to stay away Some childhood wounds linger until they are finally confronted, and for Alicia Keys, that reckoning came long before fame. In her documentary Girl From Hell’s Kitchen, the Grammy winner revisits the pain of growing up without her father, Craig Cook.  She recalls the heartbreak of broken promises and missed visits, which eventually led her, at just 13 years old, to write a letter cutting him out of her life.  Raised by her mother, Terria Joseph, in Manhattan, Keys grew up watching her mother sacrifice her own dreams to provide piano lessons and stability, while her father drifted in and out of her world.

Instead, Obama said he would be happy to join others for a game of Horse or shooting competitions.


"I am not running up and down that court because I want to protect my knees and my Achilles. I don't want to be in a boot," he said.

"I'm in good shape if I'm just running north south. You start getting me sideways and I start worrying about something kind of going wrong," he explained.


Obama also acknowledged that Michelle has been more consistent with stretching and flexibility exercises than he has.


He said improving flexibility is now one of his fitness goals.


The former president added with a smile that yoga could be part of that plan, saying, "Put our yoga mats down and all that. Namaste."
