The first look of the biopic "Trust Me, I'm a Doctor," focusing on the life of late actress Anna Nicole Smith, was revealed on July 7, 2026. The film, which has been in production since at least 2024, centers on Smith's final days. Abbie Cornish is set to portray Anna Nicole Smith in the movie.

In an interview on July 10, 2026, Birkhead stated his objection to the production, emphasizing that he and his daughter are not involved and do not condone the movie. He specifically referred to Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, Anna's doctor, who was accused in connection with her death but later found not guilty.
Birkhead also shared his reservations about the film's casting, stating that while Abbie Cornish is a good actress, he does not believe she embodies Anna Nicole Smith's spirit or looks. He feels that no actress has yet successfully captured the late star's magnetic persona. Birkhead mentioned being approached for comments earlier but withheld them due to uncertainty about the film's development.
