Kai Schreiber spoke in-depth about her gender identity struggle - and a major role model in her life - in a new chat published Wednesday.

The 16-year-old model, who is the daughter of Hollywood stars Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, told Interview Magazine she has studied how people in the transgender community navigated stormy waters in the past.

Kai said she had struggled 'with gender identity from a young age' and 'always wanted to grow up and be a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman, like Marilyn' Monroe.

The daughter of the Ray Donovan star , 57, and two-time Oscar nominee, 56, named figures she found inspirational 'as a young trans girl' navigating life through turbulent times for the community.

'I'm always going to look up to the older generation of transgender people, especially in fashion,' Kai told the magazine.

'People like Alex Consani, Hunter Schafer, Hari Nef, Dara, Richie Shazam, Colin Jones, and so many more,' Kai said. 'It's so great that there's a strong community of us in the fashion world; it's really a doll takeover.'
