Fans of the cult trilogy “The Matrix” still cannot accept the fact that the creators of the masterpiece changed their gender. The Wachowski brothers made a breakthrough in cinema and were considered one of the most sought-after directors in Hollywood. The Matrix brought them incredible success and made their faces recognizable anywhere in the world. Is it possible with such fame to hide the changes that are themselves striking?
Larry Wachowski
The older brother has long been suspicious of the public. After the deafening fame that fell on the directors at the end of the last century, he began to appear in women's dresses. At that moment it seemed strange, but everyone was already accustomed to the antics of Hollywood celebrities, and Larry's actions did not cause much excitement. For some time, there were rumors about his homosexual orientation, but who would surprise this in Los Angeles?
More attention was paid to him in 2002. Lari no longer hid from the cameras and openly appeared in women's dresses and with makeup on her face. His face has noticeably changed, and the figure has acquired all the forms characteristic of women. This caused a real shock even for the most experienced Hollywood gossipers. It was no longer an orientation - Larry was not just a transgender, he changed sex. Soon there were other changes - the man’s official page on the movie portal was renamed, and you could find him by the name of Lana Wachowski.
For ten years, the director of The Matrix stubbornly remained silent and ignored questions about his status. Soon, everyone got used to it and began to name the duet of creative people Andy and Lana Wachowski. Moreover, with the change of gender, their popularity has only increased. Lana’s talent didn’t diminish - the film “V means Vendetta” was released on the screens, the script for which was written by Wachowski. The film was a resounding success with viewers and critics. But still the photo of the director of The Matrix in female guise continued to confuse the fans.
Moment of truth
In 2012, another film from the famous directors of Wachowski - “Cloud Atlas” was presented to the audience. Andy and Lana wrote the script and produced the film. Another success and the Golden Globe nomination proved once again that this sister tandem is able to create masterpieces. In the wake of the dizzying success, Larry announces that he is a transgender and is a woman.
The news instantly became a sensation, although everyone was well aware of this for many years. But no one had publicly admitted this before, so the public reaction was relevant to the event. Talk that the director of the film “The Matrix” changed sex did not subside for a long time, but even more shocking news awaited them.
In the footsteps of a brother
In 2015, another commercially successful film from Wachowski - “Climbing Jupiter”. The audience liked the picture, but critics defeated the next creation of the directors. He could not pay off at the box office and became the disappointment of the year for all movie buffs. A year later, Andy makes a cuming out, and everyone learns that the director of The Matrix has become a woman, like his brother. He took the name Lilly, and henceforth they began to call this couple Wachowski sisters.
Andy was not eager to talk about gender reassignment to the whole world. He was forced to take this step by a particularly persistent journalist. To hide such things is unusually difficult. Especially when you are always under the gaze of cameras. Outwardly, Andy has changed, but these changes were not as striking as that of Larry. He naturally had a taller growth and courageous facial features. No major changes have occurred, except that he grew hair to his shoulders and began to wear glasses.
