Transgender Dylan Mulvaney Moving on From Bud Light Fiasco Now Aspires to Hollywood Stardom

A turning point has emerged for popular transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. Instead of rallying from the frontlines for transgenderism, Mulvaney now seeks recognition as an actress.

Through candid conversations, he divulged that his once-celebrated videos portraying his “Days of Girlhood” on TikTok were actually performances.

In a revealing interview with Them, an online magazine, Mulvaney shared his experiences and the unexpected fame he encountered via transgender activism. Given a chance to counsel his past self, he’d encourage a more judicious approach to sharing his personal journey.

“There’s a level of me that knows I wanted success … but I didn’t know it was going to be for my transness,” Mulvaney confessed.

He reflected on his decision to post that first video, expressing a desire to tell his past self, “Hey, let’s not … Let’s make sure you’re in a good place and you are safe and that you’ve had the conversations with the people that you need to talk to before you talk to everyone.”

With a staggering 10 million followers on TikTok, Mulvaney is renowned for his video series “Days of Girlhood”. These videos captured his transition to “womanhood” through the lens of an exuberant, adolescent girl. But could we be seeing a shift in Mulvaney’s narrative?

The recent interview frequently labelled his gender transition period as a “project”, hinting at a conclusion. Mulvaney himself spoke about being ready to leave this project behind, expressing a desire to explore other entertainment paths.

Do you think Dylan Mulvaney is just an attention seeker?

“When I was living that project, when I was living those days, I mean, it was joy,” Mulvaney recalled fondly. He believed the audience found his journey uplifting, a necessary light in an increasingly chaotic world.

Future headlines might no longer label him as ‘TikTok Trans Activist Dylan Mulvaney’, instead presenting him as ‘Actress Dylan Mulvaney’, or even ‘Comedian Dylan Mulvaney’. “I would love to do that through Hollywood, where we still haven’t seen enough exposure,” he suggested.

Raised as a Catholic, Mulvaney found his identity through theatre, crediting it for shaping his queer identity. “Theater got me through,” he reminisced. “It was where I got to live with other queer kids, even if we didn’t know we were at the time.”

Despite the immense following, Mulvaney admitted he grapples with fears about public perception. “I never expected to have people following me, or experience such negative media attention. I walk into a room and I never know if somebody is going to really love me or really hate me.”

It’s really amazing. He wants to be gay, queer, nonbinary, transgender and drum rolls, now he wants to date women. 🥁
This man is an actor folks. Fasten your seatbelts.

A glaring example of such public criticism occurred in the wake of a partnership between Mulvaney and Bud Light. Subsequently, the beer brand lost a staggering $27 billion. Additionally, some senior executives at the company were even compelled to temporarily step down due to the alarming plummet in sales.

In response to the debacle, Mulvaney remained tight-lipped about his critics, stating he preferred “not to name any of” them, unwilling to grant them “the satisfaction.”
