Gigi Gorgeous became a celebrity by opening up her life to others. In 2017, she took that even further when her life journey formed the basis of a documentary film, Gigi Gorgeous: This Is Everything.
The film, noted its official synopsis, was directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Barbara Kopple, and "provides a raw and revealing look into a life that never compromises happiness, and spotlights a family's unwavering and unconditional love for a child." As the film's subject told DuJour, coming up with footage for Kopple to utilize was not an issue, given that Gorgeous had been filming herself since age 19. "So I had years and years of footage and when YouTube Red and Barbara Kopple got involved, I said, 'Have it all,'" she explained.
Watching the finished film alongside her father, she admitted, was a "really special" experience. "Barbara likes to say that my father and I 'transitioned together,' which we totally did," she added. "He had to totally alter the way he thought about his child; the name, the pronouns, and all that, which you see in the film. I think the message got across and I was so happy about that."
