Starring fashion model Gigi Hadid, this short film gives viewers a glimpse of the unseen side of a celebrity. Sebastian Faena created this film in partnership with V Magazine. Casting Gigi Hadid to play an older version of herself, the American model is seen as a 24-year-old actress a day after winning an Oscar for Best Female Actress. Those Wrecked By Success is mainly a silent film, except for a short voiceover in which we hear Hadid's acceptance speech. In seven minutes, viewers are exposed to Hadid waking up and lazing about her California mansion with a sobering look branded across her face. Capturing the private side of A-lister life, Those Wrecked By Success will make viewers question the nature of success. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Behind-the-scenes Reality:** Exploring the unseen and less glamorous side of celebrity life through films and documentaries. - **Celebrity Authenticity:** A growing demand for more authentic and relatable portrayals of celebrities in media. - **Vulnerability in Stardom:** Shedding light on the emotions and struggles experienced by successful individuals in the public eye. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Film Production:** Opportunity for filmmakers to create thought-provoking and realistic celebrity-centered content. - **Fashion and Entertainment Media:** A platform for showcasing alternative narratives that challenge traditional perceptions of stardom. - **Celebrity Branding:** Opportunity for celebrities to connect with audiences on a deeper level by sharing their vulnerabilities and authentic stories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Actress-Backed Handbag Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galleria-handbag.md) - [Kpop-Star Cinematic Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-short-film.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Surreal Imaginative Fantastical Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/problemista.md) - [Beauty-Branded Film Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-basel-miami-beach.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Bravery-Celebrating Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-is-beauty.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md)
