Will Ferrell Denounces “Hatred” Against Trans Community: “It’s Very Real”


While promoting his heartfelt documentary 'Will & Harper', Will Ferrell denounced transphobia and showed support for trans friend Harper Steele.

Directed by Josh Greenbaum, Will & Harper follows Ferrell as he finds out Steele, his close friend of 30 years, is coming out as a trans woman. After meeting on SNL and co-writing Netflix’s Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga(2020), Steele announced her transition to Ferrell and other loved ones. “It’s a movie about the power of friendship and acceptance that we hope can help shift the culture, and so we are excited to have a partner in Netflix that has the ability to reach the largest possible audience worldwide,” said the filmmakers at the time.
