“He was this puffy little Italian guy, and I can say that because I look like him,” Dodd confidently said in a recent interview.

Over the years, Dodd has always spoken about his late father with fondness and how they had an extraordinary bond. He explained how his father would always go out of his way to spend plenty of time with him; he described him as a caring father.

Bobby found a way to instill values into his son, as he never forgot where he came from and all the hurdles he had to surmount.

He was a small boy from the Bronx who had to take on so much, surviving, dealing with poverty and health-related issues.

Bobby died when Dodd was just 12 years old, it was a devastating period for him, moving on was hard.

He says he wishes his father had lived longer, so they could have created more precious memories. However, he is still grateful for the ones they made.

Dodd’s strong value for the family could be said to come right from his birth; he was the golden child of Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee born in Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Hollywood.

Even the choice of his name was unusual, and when asked, his parents said “they liked as it flowed with Darin” and his middle name Mitchell was given to him after his mother’s press agent - Betty Mitchell.
