Wonderboy

So this is an interesting one….kinda

Olivier Rousteing is 30 years old and the creative director at Balmain. Who cares I agree but, docs are coming in slow these days so I’ll take it.

Going into this blind, I figured it was an autobiographical piece about a young fashionnova but it ain’t. It’s about Olivier’s journey into identifying and potentially meeting his biological parents. He was put up for adoption at birth and never knew his true origins. His adoptive family and most of his surrounding community are white and he clearly is/was not. This, coupled with being rejected from birth, has wounded and haunted him for years.

The doc doesn’t go deep but he does. You can tell he isn’t used to sharing his insides and it’s really sweet. His reality is twisted but he’ll get there. Plus, his lips are mesmerizing so maybe you’ll get a kick outta that. OH, and there’s famous people in it. You in?
