For someone who never buys clothes, he's always beautifully dressed. What a precious man, I swear Also, the interviewer here was really fun and had creative questions :)
Thank you Paul for noticing and crediting Jonathan Groff being a "secret sauce", as you call it. Because he's incredible in every way and they rarely give him any acknowledgement.
Literally this is the only comment on this thread that even mentions that. One said he was surprised. But not that it was a shame. You said it. Nobody else.
So glad you said that about facing each other. I am old enough to have known but I DID NOT KNOW and my gay friends never said.I think we're all learning.
My heart breaks in watching this. "Looking" was incredibly resonant and moving for me. It's such a shame that it wasn't given more time to come into it's own. To be sure, the acting was expert, and hearing J Groff talk about it here makes me think that the power of the performance was, in no small part, a consequence of his own identification with his character.
What a fantastic career he's having. Not so high in stardom that his life has become unreal (think Mariah Carey), but still enjoying all the recognition and opportunity to do different things.
I heard in another video that Jonathan want to produce the Spring Awakenign movie and he knows that is too old to play Melchior again but I still want a reunion concert with the OBC, specially want to see with Lea Michele singing again.
I've become a bit obsessed with Mr. Groff lately. Before Merrily's big hit, I hadn't any idea he existed. Now I find he's been and continues to be rather a phenomenon. But what interests me most is what a genuinely good--hearted person he seems to be. He gives off an aura of gentle sweetness that's positively luminous. It's unusual both in a gypsy and in someone with his massive talents. I wish him everything his heart desires.
Watching this after Frozen 2 came out is amazing because Jonathan Groff did get his ‘Let it go’ in Frozen 2 (Lost in the Woods). I’m so happy that his career on and off broadway is going amazingly.
Jonathon Groff is so smart and he's incredibly kind, too. He is enormously talented! I really hope to see him more on tv or film. (I know, Hamilton...)
I am so happy they kept Russell Tovey (Kevin) for the second season. I am looking forward to a third and for a full hour, with Jonathan and Russell. please - Hey Jonathan... you are great and My birthday, like yours is 26 Mar. My husband's birthday is the same as Mr. Tovey's: 14 november. - I thought that was neat to find out.
I must admit that the season one of Looking wasn't totally mind blowing for me, but the season two did picked up its paces and storylines, now I wish the show hasn't been canceled, looking forward to the movie version though!
Looking was such a great series and should have gone on and on, I think the trouble was and is that us in the UK can accept more and be OK with a show like looking, with all the sex and gay life, we just take it with a pinch of salt and are happy with it, we gave the world queer as folk, in the good old USA, it comes across that you are not as ready to put up and accept a full gay series with full on gay sex, so as money and power talks, I am sure it was stopped by some very unhappy people in TV land, bloody shame as it was so good, loved watching it in the UK and now miss it..... Bugger the moaners, bring it back.
Great interview, but I can't turn my inner historian off. The Nazi party didn't exist in 1902 which would be 10 years after the end of Spring Awakening. So Johnny's character couldn't be a Nazi.
Groffsauce should know that at Susquehanna, everyone fucking loves him. All my friends, he's my wallpaper right now. We love you so much and we appreciate you for breaking so many barriers. (Ha, acting like he's gonna read this.)
His voice is so soothing..and the way his eyes crinkle when he laughs..😍😍
right? i love his voice, smile and eyes so much!!! he’s precious
the secret sauce is groffsauce
I was about to comment that XD
Am I only one that is sooo into Jonathan voice?
definitely not *sigh* :D
Nope :D his voice is so calming
I really really love his voice.
+Adriana Mižigárová his voice is perfection. sooo suave
I want him to narrate my life, be my therapist or read me bedtime stories. Or just a phone book or anything else.
I'm so happy Spring Awakening has not been forgotten and still lives on, even though it's been years!
Me too
lol it was on bway when i was like a year old
I met him yesterday, and he is just such a genuinely lovely person. I hope he comes back to Broadway at some point.
Ahahaha! He sure does
Lmao
Hindsight is 20/20. :)
For someone who never buys clothes, he's always beautifully dressed. What a precious man, I swear
Also, the interviewer here was really fun and had creative questions :)
jasmine tea
Lea Michele has said before that Jonathan has awful fashion sense, so she buys all his clothes for him.
Bridie O'Donnell really xD?? of course she does hahhaha. they have the best relationship. honestly if he wasn't gay I would ship them so much x)
When Jon talked about having friends in New York ask him about gay sex, I automatically thought of Lin lmao
Hell, I bet it was Lin
Alex Creed SAME
I'm dead! 😂😂😂
Exactly what I thought! Lin would totally ask Groff that question! 😂
XD sameeeeeeee
Thank you Paul for noticing and crediting Jonathan Groff being a "secret sauce", as you call it. Because he's incredible in every way and they rarely give him any acknowledgement.
Pia Isabel Vargas Groffsauce!!
Groffsauce
He's so lovely. I wish Looking went for a full hour, or at least had more episodes in a season.
And......please do another Side By Side By Susan Blackwell episode.
Justin M Yes! Miss Side by side!
My only complaint about this show is that the episodes are too short and too few. There should be at least twelve 1-hour episodes per season.
Jay Preis AND.....runs for the next 5 years minimum. I'm sick of the shows I watch being cancelled after just one or two seasons.
Justin M And now it's over :(((((
I love jonathan ever since spring awakening
onmy computer2020gal you don’t lmao he’s gay
Agreed, there's nothing a shame about it.
Tea.
Literally this is the only comment on this thread that even mentions that. One said he was surprised. But not that it was a shame. You said it. Nobody else.
@@veganandatheist love the pfp
One of my favourite Broadway actors! Such a wonderful and talented man!
The way he's laughing with his eyes is so freaking adorable!
Jonothan Groff is honestly my favorite man on this planet 💜
watching this back in 2020, after christoff got his power ballad in frozen 2, this interview aged really well
I love Jonathon Groff. I'm so mad that HBO cancelled Looking. It was so good.
Stephen Anthony Even worse, Patrick ended up with Richie🤦🏻♂️😩
@@JoelWalker56 : Yeah, right, so disappointed ~
I think it was a Better show than QAF.
This guy seems very genuine. Refreshing.
So glad you said that about facing each other. I am old enough to have known but I DID NOT KNOW and my gay friends never said.I think we're all learning.
My heart breaks in watching this. "Looking" was incredibly resonant and moving for me. It's such a shame that it wasn't given more time to come into it's own.

Really interesting to hear his that personal experiences resonate with Patrick.
What a fantastic career he's having. Not so high in stardom that his life has become unreal (think Mariah Carey), but still enjoying all the recognition and opportunity to do different things.
I heard in another video that Jonathan want to produce the Spring Awakenign movie and he knows that is too old to play Melchior again but I still want a reunion concert with the OBC, specially want to see with Lea Michele singing again.
yES PLS
This man... perfection.
Jonathan is totally my favorite person on earth. Love him so much !
J. Groff is just adorable and I am totally jealous of those awesome boots her is wearing.
12:40 literally predicts the best ballad ever, lost in the woods
The birth of Groffsauce
"Jonathan Groff on Gay Sex"
Me: Lin??
love when Paul pulls out the random picture of Kristoff photoshopped to be an underwear model @ 12:05 & Jon is like, "?????"
I've become a bit obsessed with Mr. Groff lately. Before Merrily's big hit, I hadn't any idea he existed. Now I find he's been and continues to be rather a phenomenon. But what interests me most is what a genuinely good--hearted person he seems to be. He gives off an aura of gentle sweetness that's positively luminous. It's unusual both in a gypsy and in someone with his massive talents. I wish him everything his heart desires.
what a lovely man I wish he was my uncle
"They should give kristoff the big power ballad."
Me in 2019: 👏😉
"I just wanna be in the room for a day" He wants to be in the room where it happens.
I loved how he referenced that one line on Looking S1E4 "maybe I do and maybe...I do" I hope the fans caught that...
I LOVE GROFFSAUCE. HE IS SO SWEET HE GIVES ME A TOOTHACHE.
How can people don't know that gay men can face each other while having sex ??
i don't know why but I really want him and Tyler Oakley to collab on something
+Cassidy Gage Tyler Oakley would be ALL over him, lol.
+Christian Adair I'm all for it
should we start a petition?
Please 👌🏼
Yeeeesssssss!!! Someone needs to make this happen!
for some reason the part where he says sven and licks his lips and the camera zooms in gets me every time
+GarlicPoncho Same!!!
Groff loved doing this show. I’m so sad it didn’t get renewed:(
i can imagine jon having a secret iron collection omg
Thats so random lmao
This guy should be one of those night audiobook speakers, literally the most soothing voice I have heard
What a treat to see this pop up in my subscription box. Love both of you!
Jonathan graduated in 2003 from Conestoga Valley High School and in 2011, I graduated from the same school!! Go Buckskins!!
He looked so guiltyyy when he was talking about needing an iron aw smol bean
20:10 - THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS
The way he caresses the seat with his hand is so damn hot... (4:40)
Lisa K 18:13
I wish I was the seat 😭
the groffsauce
Groff deserves an Emmy nomination : )
“Huge” Broadway experience of 2 shows… hello HAMILTON BOOYA. So happy his Broadway career has continued because he is amazing in live theater
Groff you're the best!!!! Looking one hour long episode!!! C'mon HBO!!!
Gavin MacIntosh, Ansel Elgort and Jonathan Groff all look like the same person but in different ages.
I loves "LOOKING" it is so good i pray it dosnt go away. Please give it some time let it evolve ,
Watching this after Frozen 2 came out is amazing because Jonathan Groff did get his ‘Let it go’ in Frozen 2 (Lost in the Woods). I’m so happy that his career on and off broadway is going amazingly.
He is the Groffsauce
Secret Groffsauce is always needed
I love LOOKING so much!!
and Patrick is so cute. though it's tough for P in the show, I often reflect on myself.
It’s funny because you can absolutely tell Jonathan has a bit of a thing for JBW in the Spring Awakening backstage video years ago.....cute
The funny thing is, where did JBW go? His last acting gig of any kind was a production of Bent in LA in 2015. Since then, he's basically disappeared.
I thought he was more like 40, maybe bc his mature demeanor. He seems very sweet, like a good guy.
He is gorgeous and talented. His sexuality is immaterial to that.
Jonathon Groff is so smart and he's incredibly kind, too. He is enormously talented! I really hope to see him more on tv or film. (I know, Hamilton...)
Dang. Seven years later and LM is doing Funny Girl. (21:44) She's been wanting the role for a long time.
Paul Wontorek predicted the future of Jonathan Groff's role in Frozen 2.
1:02 so I guess Paul doesn't know Queer as Folk
He is so Gorgeous .... Omg 😍
Love the headline
I am so happy they kept Russell Tovey (Kevin) for the second season. I am looking forward to a third and for a full hour, with Jonathan and Russell. please - Hey Jonathan... you are great and My birthday, like yours is 26 Mar. My husband's birthday is the same as Mr. Tovey's: 14 november. - I thought that was neat to find out.
...it's complicated, like metaphysical incest. (re: groff finding kristoff attracted.)
Love love love Looking! Totally satisfies me emotionally. Can't believe they have cancelled it.
The voice is amazing. Is it the harmonics? What is it!!
I miss his curly hair but he's still adorable:)
It would be easy to binge on these actors! Thanks Jonathan! See Psalm 20.
I must admit that the season one of Looking wasn't totally mind blowing for me, but the season two did picked up its paces and storylines, now I wish the show hasn't been canceled, looking forward to the movie version though!
I could listen to him talk for hours. He is one hot guy and very good looking.
Love Jonathan! great interview :)
A good Interviewer doesn’t talk so much. Love Jonathan Groff, let him speak.
20:10 i wanna be in the room where it happens
It's scaring how little straight people know about how two men can love each other !
is this where "groffsauce" came from???
No, it came from a tweet at Lin-Manuel Miranda.
It came from this video
Looking was such a great series and should have gone on and on, I think the trouble was and is that us in the UK can accept more and be OK with a show like looking, with all the sex and gay life, we just take it with a pinch of salt and are happy with it, we gave the world queer as folk, in the good old USA, it comes across that you are not as ready to put up and accept a full gay series with full on gay sex, so as money and power talks, I am sure it was stopped by some very unhappy people in TV land, bloody shame as it was so good, loved watching it in the UK and now miss it.....

Great interview, but I can't turn my inner historian off. The Nazi party didn't exist in 1902 which would be 10 years after the end of Spring Awakening. So Johnny's character couldn't be a Nazi.
Can a legit Groff fan provide date proof if this host calling him secret sauce pre-dates LMM’s tweet declaring him Groffsauce?!
this was 2015??? he hasn't aged a day, even his hair is the exact same length and colour
12:08 he looks so horrified
And I love he mentions Tik, Tik, Boom
heyyy shout-out to Lyndy on Show People at 9:20!!! :)
Groffsauce should know that at Susquehanna, everyone fucking loves him. All my friends, he's my wallpaper right now. We love you so much and we appreciate you for breaking so many barriers. (Ha, acting like he's gonna read this.)
12:26. Oh my.
And from this, Groffsauce was born
17:24 was toooo cute for my little heart to handle
Haha! The power ballad in the sequel!
I want that sauce
omg in this moment i thought that jonathan groff would perfectly fit to wentworth miller!!! They would be such a perfect gay couple
does anyone know what boots jonathan is wearing. i think they're really nice
12:40 AGED SO WELL
Yes!! This man... "Groffsauce" and "Lost in the wood" foreseen here 😏
Hmm.. was this interview the origin of the term "Groff sauce"??
“I bought the CD off the Amazon”
He is so cute!!
Holy shit, is where the GroffSauce thing originated?
chunksthemonkey1 No, Lin started it
From one of his tweets
There was so much foreshadowing happening in this interview-
who doesn't have a crush on JBW
I love Jonathan Groff.
10:42
12:30 it really happend... Lost in the woods (hair shaking included)
