Summary

  • Degrassi: Whatever It Takes, features Drake reflecting on his “wild journey” from the show to global fame
  • The trailer shows Drake’s humble beginnings, revealing he was a teen who “didn’t fit in” before landing the role of Jimmy
  • This project not only celebrates Degrassi but also offers a rare look at the early life of a music superstar

A new documentary, Degrassi: Whatever It Takes, is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 13, and its trailer has fans buzzing. The film, which explores the legacy of the iconic Canadian teen series, features an intimate interview with none other than Aubrey “Drake” Graham, the show’s most famous alumnus.

In the trailer, a reflective Drake opens up about his beginnings, recalling a time when he didn’t fit in during high school. He vividly describes the moment his mother called to tell him he landed the role of Jimmy Brooks, a pivotal character he played from 2001 to 2008. “I didn’t have a great time in high school. I just didn’t really fit in. Then one day, my mom called me and told me, ‘You got the role.’ And I just grabbed my bag and left,” he shares, adding, “Man, what a wild journey that started.”

The documentary promises a raw and unfiltered look at the show, with other cast and crew members also sharing their behind-the-scenes stories. For fans who have followed Drake’s trajectory from a wheelchair-bound teen actor to a global music icon, his participation is a powerful testament to his roots. The project not only celebrates the groundbreaking legacy of Degrassi but also offers a rare glimpse into the early life of one of the world’s biggest stars.

The documentary is slated to bring together multiple generations of Degrassi stars including Dayo Ade, Stefan Brogren, Shenae Grimes-Beech, Jake Epstein, Shane Kippel and Miriam McDonald.
