Will Ferrell Cries As ‘Will & Harper’ Director Hails Actor’s Love for Trans Friend in New Netflix Film

Will Ferrell began crying Sunday night as director Josh Greenbaum hailed the love he and former Saturday Night Live writer Harper Steele bring to the screen in their new Netflix film Will & Harper.

In the film, Ferrell reconnects with his long-time friend, who for the first 61 years of her life lived as a man. Moving forward with a determination to be her most authentic self, Steele is invited by Ferrell to road trip across the U.S. With cameos from Tina Fey, Seth Meyers and Kristen Wiig, Greenbaum’s film is equal parts joyful and poignant. The tenderness of the pair’s relationship is moving and palpable as the pair navigate their friendship — and Harper, her newfound womanhood — through the various stops along the way.
