Why Pharrell Didn’t Tell Jay-Z, Gwen Stefani and More A-Listers He’d Be Turning Them Into Legos for His Documentary
Pharrell Williams landed Jay-Z, Gwen Stefani and Kendrick Lamar for his documentary 'Piece by Piece.' He didn't tell them they'd be turned into Legos.
“I was given Lego sets as a child, and that was a really amazing platform for me to allow my imagination to flourish and to learn things about myself, as it has for most kids and a lot of people — millions and millions of people on this planet,” Williams told Variety at the Toronto Film Festival, where “Piece by Piece” made its international premiere. Williams added that he didn’t want the film’s visual style, nor its PG rating and all-audience appeal, to affect the tone of the interviews. “And while I am a Black man that comes from a marginalized community, we wanted this story to feel universal, and that was the reason why we told it through the guise of Lego.”
