Lil Nas X Grapples With His Sexuality in ‘Long Live Montero’ Docu Trailer

On Thursday, HBO released a trailer for Lil Nas X's concert documentary for 'Long Live Montero.'

The trailer shows clips of his upbringing as he was grappling with deep anxiety attacks, and videos from his performances as he talks about the struggles of coming out to his family. Filmmakers Carlos López Estrada, who received an Oscar nomination for Raya and the Last Dragon in 2022, and Zac Manuel, who is making his directorial debut with Long Live Montero, helmed the film together. “[The directors] follow [Lil Nas X] around as he navigates the perilous waters of sudden celebrity, faces backlash from conservatives for his proudly queer songs and imagery, and bonds with fans who embrace his ability to bridge gaps while staying true to himself,” Rolling Stone reported last year.
