Ferrell admitted that he had “zero knowledge” about the trans community before Harper came out to him in 2021.
Earlier this year, part-time Mattell CEO Will Ferrell premiered his new documentary Will & Harper at the Sundance Film Festival. The movie follows the Barbie actor and his longtime pal Harper who embark on a road trip after Harper comes out as trangender.
Will & Harper, directed by Josh Greenbaum, became a favorite at Sundance, with critics and fans praising the subject matter and message. It was announced this week that Netflix acquired the rights to the documentary, which follows the two pals as they enter a new phase in their friendship.
