Barron Trump is thought to be different to his outspoken father.

Since his father Donald Trump entered the Oval Office for his second term, Barron Trump has been pushed into the spotlight more than ever.

Barron Trump isn’t hard to miss, as he towers above his father at six foot seven, but he’s kept a largely quiet life and isn’t one for public speaking like Donald Trump.

In fact, the 19-year-old is thought to be hugely different from his dad, not just due to his different choice of where to study.

Barron is currently a freshman at New York University (NYU), which was a different move to his siblings and his old man, who all chose to attend the University of Pennsylvania or Georgetown instead.

Yet it isn’t just where he’s studying that makes him different to his father; he’s also thought to have a softer personality to Donald’s buoyant persona.

A source speaking to PEOPLE described the 19-year-old as ‘an old soul who is smart, well-spoken and well-read’.

They added: “He has lived through experiences others his age haven’t. He is well-grounded, he has seen a lot and he knows who he is.”

Another source told the outlet: “He isn’t as aggressive as many of his age when they are in their own social circles. He is someone who listens before talking, and is super polite.”

While his father is a huge political figure, and even prior to becoming US president for a second time, he was rarely out of the spotlight, for Barron it’s a different story.

He’s been the center of increased attention since his father’s campaign. In a rally last July, Donald told the crowd who cheered for Barron: “You’re pretty popular, he might be more popular than Don and Eric.

“So Barron, it’s good to have you. [He’s] had such a nice, easy life. Now, it’s a little bit changed.”

In spite of his father’s huge position within US politics, Barron does try to take a backseat and was notably absent during his dad’s first speech to Congress earlier this year. He’s also not likely to appear at any future events his father makes, and with good reason.

Barron, who lives in New York in Trump Tower, is currently a freshman at NYU and will be busy attending classes, so he’ll be unable to make as many public appearances.

Barron is currently studying and attending classes at New York University’s Stern School of Business since September, having graduated from Florida’s Oxbridge Academy in May.

Yet, his college experience isn’t likely to be the same as others in their first year of studies.
