Watch Video: Liev Schreiber Opens Up for First Time About Trans Daughter Kai: ‘It’s Important That She Goes, “I Am Trans, Look at Me”’….

Liev Schreiber says his 16-year-old daughter Kai never actually told him and her mom,Naomi watts, she was trans.

“Kai was always who Kai is,” the “Ray Donovan” star told me Thursday morning. “But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns.

To be honest with you, it didn’t feel like that big of a deal to me only because Kai had been so feminine for so long.” Kai will join her dad and his wife Taylor at the Ali Forney Center’s A Place at the Table Gala on Friday night in New York City.

The center, which provides housing and support for homeless LGBTQ youth, currently serves more than 2,200 young people through its 24/7 Drop-In Center and network of 13 emergency and transitional housing sites. [Editor’s note: Variety’s Marc Malkin is a co-chair of the gala.]

While Kai, who made her modeling debut in March walking the runway for Valentino before starring in an ad campaign for the luxury fashion house, may not be facing the same hardships as those seeking help at the center, Schreiber explained their need to step up.
