The multihyphenate announced on Friday that he’s gearing up for the release of his biopic Piece by Piece, a new movie that will chronicle his life, using Lego animation.
“Who would’ve thought that playing with Legos as a kid would evolve into a movie about my life. It’s proof that anyone else can do it too,” Skateboard P wrote.
According to Pitchfork, he created the movie alongside the Lego Group, and in partnership with Focus Features. The documentarian Morgan Neville directed the film.
