Actor and comedian Marlon Wayans is grappling with change but determined to learn more to make his oldest child happy and "free" after they came out as transgender. "I have a daughter that transitioned into a son," the 51-year-old "Scary Movie" and "White Chicks" star revealed last week on the "The Breakfast Club" podcast. "My daughter Amai is now Kai," he explained.
Wayans discussed his upcoming comedy special – potentially titled "Rainbow Child" or "Skittles," according to the New York Post – which is geared toward opening up about the change in his family, so he can help other parents going through similar situations. "I talk about the transition.
Not his … their transition, but my transition as a parent, going from ignorance and denial to complete unconditional love and acceptance," he said.
He described the experience as "very painful," telling the podcast, however, "[the comedy special] is one of the best, funniest hours [of comedy] I could ever imagine." Kai, 23, is Wayans' oldest of two children he shares with ex-partner Angelica Zachary.
