Will Ferrell (57) has recently been praised by fans for supporting his best friend Harper Steele through her journey of becoming trans.
A new Netflix documentary has been announced, titled Will & Harper, which is about the pair doing a 16-day road trip across the US.
Which will reflect on this “new version” of Steele and what it means for their decades-long friendship.
You can watch the trailer for Will & Harper below:
The two met on Saturday Night Live where Steele was the head writer for 4 years and Ferrell starred as a main cast member between 1995 to 2002.
Ferrell told Netflix he was one of the very few who received an email from Steele in 2021, announcing she was transgender – which can be seen in the trailer.
“We’d go to Lakers games, go on road trips together, surprise each other at random little bars in costume,” he told Netflix.
In the trailer, Ferrell says: “What if we went on a road trip together, giving her a chance to go into a cowboy bar or whatever places she misses, and I can be by her side and lend support as a friend?”
“At the same time, it would give us a chance to reconnect, and figure out what this transition means to our relationship.”
LGBTQ have shown their support online.
“What better place for a heart-to-heart than on a road trip,” one wrote
Another added: “I’ll be signing up to Netflix to watch, the fact wills response to his friend transitioning was let’s go in a road trip is special.”
The heartwarming documentary airs on Netflix on September 27th.
