Pharrell Williams talks about the upcoming film 'Piece by Piece' at the Variety Studio at TIFF. He breaks down why he wanted to tell his story through Legos and how he made the off-beat idea come to life.

Pharrell creating a biopic with Legos is honestly the best mashup and a great way for him to tell his story. This is just another example of how creative and talented Pharrell is. Can't wait to see the movie!

The interviewer really tried it with the "drug" conversation. P shut that down quick lol

[kevinortegarojas]

Whew --- this is the closest I've ever seen Pharrel to being upset

[j.t]

For an individual to get their biopic in Lego is HUGE actors work hard to get into animated movies, so this is a historic movie.

I never would've thought that "Pharrell Williams" and "Lego Movie" would be said in the same sentence, yet here we are

Making it PG means that he's going to get a HUGE payday. Very smart move. I'm from the school that music, Hip Hop, does not need to use offensive language to get the message across. Very excited to see how this movie drops.

LEGO means: “ PLAY WELL “ I am adding to that: “ HAVE FUN “🤩 🎊

[michaelles]

incredibly important ideas and concepts packaged in such way anyone could digest, much respect P

[limboshorts]

why are the comments so negative? especially when he's such a positive and driving creative force

[TravisLee]

I'd love to sit down and have a conversation with Pharrell collaborating with him on some music would be incredibly fun.

Two different people who know of Pharrell:
1. GRIND-DING!
2. The guy who found Maggie

[trtuswb]

Had an incredible show many moon's ago in the village I smiled

[APx]

I waited 20 something years for a Pharrell biopic then he does this. I also miss the old Pharrell when he was cool, rapping, and wasnt so cautious about get canceled for doing something

[SeekoGT]

I'll give you guys the honest answer to why he chose to go with Legos. It's because kids movies are some of the highest selling products and Legos combined with Pharrell gave a high opportunity for max sales potential vs doing it with some actors who may or may not be known. That's it. Just money.

[asdfxcvbn]

i'll check this out but lmk when y'all do a REAL biopic starring Steve Lacy as Pharrell.

[SirPierreSe]

I just keep loving this great man more and more.
Every word he said makes this more and more right way to do it.

[pekar]

The plural of Lego ain't Legos dawg, it's Lego

[Geoffrodamus]

He’s finally aging, and still look young lmao

[kendoggt]

I saw the title and thought how's he telling his life story through Pasta?

[Calzone.]

I love Pharrell. I really do, but those golden teeth are terrifying 😂
