Transsexual celebrity Ayana Tsubaki introduces Coppola's new film

Transsexual celebrity Ayana Tsubaki, 24, was on hand at Shibuya Theater Tsutaya this week to introduce American director Francis Ford Coppola’s new film “Youth Without Youth.”

Commenting on the film’s story in which a 70-year-old man is struck by lightning and starts to become younger, Tsubaki said, “Everybody often feels they want to change their lives. But once it happens in reality, there is often something new to worry about. The film reminded me of my own transition.”
