Kai Schreiber struggled with gender identity 'from a young age'
Kai Schreiber may only be 16, but she has known who she wants to be when she grows up for a long time.In a new interview with Interview magazine, the daughter of actors Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, who made her runway debut walking for Valentino at Paris Fashion Week in 2025, has opened up about her gender journey. When asked about what she wants to do when she grows up, the teen answered confidently."I want to be a supermodel. Period," she said. "I've been practicing my walks in the kitchen for years; my mom can show you all the videos I forced her to film.""Struggling with gender identity from a young age most likely had something to do with it," she added. "I always wanted to grow up and be a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman like Marilyn."Schreiber cemented her desire to be a model as soon as she got her first modeling job, saying that "that job made me realize, 'Okay, this is what I want to do.'"Schreiber also talked about who she looks up to and named several trans models."As a young trans girl, Im always going to look up to the older generation of transgender people, especially in fashion," she said. "People like Alex Consani, Hunter Schafer, Hari Nef, Dara, Richie Shazam, Colin Jones, and so many more. Its so great that theres a strong community of us in the fashion world; its really a doll takeover. It's important to all of us to have a sense of community, especially when we're under such hostile attack."
