Jordan Firstman isn’t your typical Cannes auteur. Before May, the 35-year-old actor-director was best known as an online raconteur and for playing the hilariously vapid celebrity stylist Charlie opposite Rachel Sennott in HBO’s “I Love L.A.” But “Club Kid,” Firstman’s new movie, proves that the comedian’s sardonic, self-deprecating wit conceals multitudes — including a heart of gold. All of his talents are on display in his debut feature, which he wrote, directed, produced and stars in. In “Club Kid,” loosely inspired by Adam Sandler’s “Big Daddy,” Firstman plays Peter, a messy New York club promoter who has to clean up his act when he learns he’s the father of a 10-year-old boy — and the boy is on the doorstep of his apartment. When “Club Kid” premiered in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section, it electrified a sleepy festival and inspired a heated bidding war. A24 beat out Netflix, Searchlight and others with a massive $17 million offer. “Club Kid” is generating Oscar buzz (it deserves to be leading the charge in best original screenplay) and has catapulted Firstman closer to the A-list. Over drinks at Sunset Tower, Firstman talked to our Matt Donnelly about what led him to make “Club Kid” and why this has been a banner year for LGBTQ+ cinema.

My life changed 8 years ago when he brought me to this newsroom, and I am humbled to meet the high bar he has set. On a bittersweet note, I can’t help but feel my mom is watching over today. She passed away 6 years ago on this day. I love you Judy. Thank you for buying your 6-year-old all the glossy monthly magazines at the ShopRite checkout, even though he had no idea what half the words meant. Today is for you. 31 Jul 2026 For @variety’s Oscars Legends issue, Nicole Kidman and I ate salad with our hands in Nashville. Pure magic from start to finish. Read at link in bio. 11 Mar 2026 My 🌛and ✨ 30 Jan 2025 Many thanks to SAG-AFTRA for hosting our screening of ‘Waltzing with Brando’ and to Variety’s incomparable Matt Donnelly for expertly moderating the Q&A! This conversation reminded me so clearly why we chase the impossible. Playing Brando wasn’t about imitation—it was about surrendering to the unpredictability, letting the scene lead, and embracing the beauty in chaos. But like @marlonbrando Holding the thread of service and the message of love, but in the fist of a rebel. Watch the full session by clicking the link in my bio. @waltzwithbrando @matt_donnelly @sagaftrafound 25 Jan 2025 When I left town amid the fires, I brought a few important documents out of an abundance of caution. In the same file as my essentials was this PHYSICAL photo of @corinsanity and I doing a tap routine in Temecula, after a verrrrrry long day of wine tasting. Happy Birthday my true love, whose shuffle ball change is as vital to me as my birth certificate. 17 Jan 2025 🎥 SOLD OUT! Tonight, 'Waltzing with Brando' @waltzwithbrando lights up the SAG-AFTRA Foundation stage at the Meryl Streep Center for the Performing Arts - in the Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson Screening Room. Huge thanks to the SAG-AFTRA community for the love! Stick around for a Q&A with Billy Zane @billyzane and Variety’s Matt Donnelly @matt_donnelly. It’s going to be a night to remember! #WaltzingWithBrando #SAGAFTRAFoundation #BillyZane #ForYourConsideration #BestActor 06 Jan 2025 In which we evidently enter the cHilL zOnE. Happy 🦃! 26 Nov 2024 Absolute dream to profile Demi Moore for this week’s cover of @Variety. She delivers a singular and career-best performance in “The Substance,” fearlessly eating her own insecurities and pain alive to take on ageism and our culture od violent self-hatred. Link in bio. 📸: Genius @gregswalesart 👗: @bradgoreski 03 Sep 2024 Biggest mistake Tom Brady made in agreeing to this roast was having me and @corinsanity front row. Congrats Tom. #bradyroast 05 May 2024 Leo, Lily, Marty, Matt. One-namers only for my latest cover of @variety. Jokes aside pls head to our site and read this story for the palpable chemistry between three dedicated artists. 26 Jan 2024 We cannot be silent. 12 Oct 2023
