This whole not-wanting-to-be-seen-smiling thing is clearly a trend with Kanye, but there's no reason to worry. The rapper isn't unhappy—he's loving life with wife Kim, 34, and their beautiful daughter North West, who turns 2 on Saturday. He explained in an interview with The Daily Front Row earlier this year, though, that he's purposefully not smiling for good reason...
"Back when I was working on Yeezus, I saw this book from the 1800s and it was velvet-covered with brass and everything," he said. "I looked at all these people's photos and they look so real and their outfits were incredible and they weren't smiling and people, you know the paparazzi, always come up to me, ‘Why you not smiling?' and I think, not smiling makes me smile...When you see paintings in an old castle, people are not smiling cause it just wouldn't look as cool."
