Billy Porter Talks 'Anything Is Possible' in Graphic Suit on 'Late Night With Seth Meyers'

Billy Porter had a high fashion moment while promoting his new movie 'Anything Is Possible'.

The Emmy, Grammy, and Tony-winning actor appeared on "Late Night With Seth Meyers" Wednesday night to talk about his directorial debut for the transition movie. adulthood that tells the story of a transgender high school student.

For the appearance, Porter – who is known for his exceptional style – wore a purple and black graphic suit by designer Sho Konishi.

"We have to put some joy in the world," Porter said of the film. “Coming from 'Pose', most of the trans stories and LGBTQ+ stories we see, especially trans ones, are still about trauma. I was so drawn to this piece because it's about trans joy. It's about celebration. It's about normalizing and humanizing a group of people who have been dehumanized. It's in the spirit of old John Hughes movies, a romantic coming-of-age romantic comedy and the characters resemble what the world looks like today. I feel so lucky to be able to bring this kind of art to the world and it's really adorable. »

Porter spoke about filming the film in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he asked several of his friends to work as background actors.

"I was reading the script and it just so happens it was written in Pittsburgh," he said. "When I was casting I thought, 'Oh, I have so many angels over there, so many friends over there,' so most of the supporting characters are either my friends, like the Khal's mother and nurse and teacher, we all Kennywood Park [a local amusement park] together in the 80s."

Porter's appearance on the late-night show is just her latest standout fashion moment. In June, the actor attended the 2022 BET Awards, looking for a futuristic Rick Owens outfit from the designer's Fall 2022 ready-to-wear collection.
