What an absolute king. A talented actor and director, an LGBTQ+ ally, a strong advocate for the saving of our earth. And on top of that he's the sweetest person ever? We stan.
him actually saying "tj is gay" instead of us just inferring it makes me so HAPPY
disney was a coward for not letting tj have luke’s floofy hair
actually it would have been so cool and it would've matched with tj so much
The idea of Josh and Luke getting together before episodes being like “how can we slip as many hints as possible into this episode?” Is hilarious
i read so many bullcrap comments that theorized, that the reason for "no kiss" was because the actors were straight and didn't want to be gay on tv. i always had to comment back and tell them, that even if that was true, they would have been asked before they signed a contract, "if they would have a problem playing gay" if they said "yes", they wouldn't have gotten the job. haha
i hope all those homophobic, narrow minded A-holes see this interview.
Layna Stark An actor’s sexuality has nothing to do with their character’s romantic relationship with another character on tv. If you’re a boy, you don’t have to like boys in real life to be gay on tv. You can be straight and play as a gay person and vice versa.
SilverLillyRose Petal IKR HE’S BI AND IM SUPER DUPER HAPPY FOR HIM I LOVE HIM SO MUCH OMG😭❤️
I'm so glad Luke confirmed that Tyrus was always the direction Terri Minsky wanted to go. Since swingset scene 1.0, I've always felt that their chemistry was intentionally written. All those speculations about Cyrus's endgame changing or Tyrus being "the second choice" was just utter BS
he actually didn't know from the beginning. he said in early interviews, that he thought he was only being hired for a few epos as the "mean basketball coach"
then the lunch happened with Terri and she felt him out about "how would you feel about playing gay!" He said "no problem" Then he got a real contract. if he said he would have had a problem playing gay, someone else would have gotten the part of "Cyrus Endgame!" and they wouldn't have been called TYRUS. GLAD IT WAS LUKE. HE WAS AND IS PERFECT.
He clearly said, early on, that he was surprised that they had considered him for more then the basketball epos.
The basic outline for the show was written, but the scripts for epos were written as they went along. my guess is, that Terry saw the off stage chemistry between luke and josh and that's when Terri, decided to make TJ , Cyrus love interest.
they weren't doing the story of the bible. the script or the story line, wasn't written
in stone. ha ha.
Yes, they know from the beginning that TYRUS would be the end game, but only after, Luke signed the new contract. THAT WAS WHEN "FROM THE BEGINNING BEGAN!"
“Josh and I wanted it faster and faster”
Omg I can’t 😂
I get that it is a happy end that they get together at the end but, it would have been SO great to get to see them do things as a couple. We NEED another swing scene!!!
@@kaylawarren4984 It's not just another swing scene, i wanted to see, i wanted to see them interacting , openly at school, With TJs teammates and the good hair crew. I wanted to fulfill what they have been doing all along subtly but now, openly, being the total role models they were meant to be.
@@ronniecaron6827 Same, but the swing is so iconic to them. It is where they had their first (real) conversation at; Where they had their first argument; And where Cyrus learned how much TJ needed him. Even after their falling out about the gun; TJ found Cyrus by the swings and said he had been stopping by there looking for him. It was a special place where their relationship really developed. It would havs been nice to see more of them together as a couple but also at the swings.
So to recap
TJ confirmed gay
Cyrus confirmed gay
Tyrus confirmed together
right?
HEY BEN, YOU SAID WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE THINKING BUT ONLY USING A FEW WORDS. YOU ARE THE WINNER. THANKS AND A BIG SMILE.
it takes me many paragraphs to make a point. i should learn from you.
@@ronniecaron6827 It is just too good to be true that we have a cannon gay couple. Not just ones you have to think "Maybe they are gay" this is real. I remember in the Disney movie like Camp Rock thinking I want a gay couple in it. Next step a Disney movie staring a gay couple.
It’s kinda sad that people say that Cyrus and TJ not kissing is homophobic. They just admitted feelings, you don’t expect them to kiss off the spot. That’s not really realistic.
hi Ethan, i agree and disagree with you. First, i'm happy with the ending, but not as happy as i would be, if the "bench scene" wasn't the end of the show, but was for the teaser/promo for season 4, epo 1, as it was originally intended to be. i would have loved for TYRUS to have had the opportunity, that everyone else had in the show of living a life in public and not in the closet.
the disagree part! TJ and Cyrus, had the longest sustained relationship in in the show. it was almost unfaltering from the mufen scene to the bench. They were totally supportive of each other and helped each other grow and beome who they are today.
the only snags? the gun scene. it didn't take TJ long to give up those friend and even turn them into the cops, just to show Cyrus, he was doing the right thing!. then Kira, the wicked witch of the west. She basically bulldozed TJ. She found his achilles heel!. All she wanted from TJ was to get on his bball team and become the captain to spite Buffy and be the winner. She moved in on him. Picked up the vibe, that there was more going on between him and Cyrus that his teammates didn't know about it. She had to have gay bashed him in some subtle way and hit him deep in his internalized homophobia.
TJ thought that Cyrus was the one avoiding him and was hurt by that. he didn't realize that kira was driving him away. TJ told Cyrus, that he and kira weren't a couple. Why would he tell Cyrus that if it wasn't what he believed. TJ hated being on the swings with her and didn't make it a secret in front of kira that he was distressed that cyrus was walking away from the table.
The build up of emotions between TJ and Cyrus was steady. neither of them ever tried to manipulate the other. every other character, had multiple relationships and disputes with friends as well. Not TJ and Cyrus.
if anything was building up to a kiss, it would have been TYRUS. they were alone in the garden. during the entire scene, no one even walked by. it was only us watching.
It's not like a typical, stereotypical (often depicted in movies and tv) gay pairing, that just met at a party and start to kiss and grind, before exchanging names. or the often depectited scene of the jock that bullies the "gay kid" then out of nowhere pins him up against the locker and shoves his tongue down his throat, then threatens him with "if you ever tell anyone, i'll kill you!"
TJ and Cyrus have class and dignity. a kiss, wouldn't have been out of place.
TJ needed Kira, to jump start his own feelings about his own sexuality then had go deal with what Cyrus really meant to him.
Are you the same Ethan, that i chatted with a long time ago? if so, i'm glad i found you again. Ronnie
I agree, but they did the same thing with Buffy and Marty and yet they kissed
Nubushali
Yeah, but Marty has had a crush on Buffy since the start with the party, and they brought them back in early season 3 and they developed together, faster than Tyrus. Whereas TJ was introduced later and there development was slower
Nubushali
Yeah, but they knew each other before TJ ever knew Cyrus and Marty had feelings for Buffy since the beginning, Buffy had a crush too and Marty’s feelings never left, not when he was away, not when he had a girlfriend. He has always liked her from the start
“my first short film” did he just disregard me, my phone and i😭
He wrote and acted in "me and my phone" i think what he meant was this was the first film he directed and he acted in it.
Luke Mullen is such a rising star, both on and off screen.
HIS SMILE IS THE CUTEST THING EVER TO EXISTENCE
Luke really said he cOuLdN’t SiNg with his whole chest huh
THE HARMONY THAT HE AND JOSH SANG, WAS BEAUTIFUL. THAT SAID ALMOST AS MUCH ABOUT TYRUS, AS THE BENCH SCENE.
Okay, but it was obviously autotuned. Don't kid yourself too much haha. He does give all of us "I can't sing" people hope though.
If Freeform ends up making the Spin Off will definitely be a an amazing opportunity to for more things to happen.
Freeform would be the perfect network! They could dig in so much more in a way that Disney couldn't. So does ABC still own Freeform? Cause they did when it was Family Channel, they owned Family and they own Disney. But the finale was so good. I can't believe it's been a week since it aired.
Luke is just the cutest human ever. We love and Stan.
EDIT:246 likes. OMG, thank you everyone. ❤️
It’s really nice that he confirmed TJ’s gay! Now the gay vs bi wars can be over oof
the "gay v bi wars?" how about the "how can TJ be gay or bi, he's a jock" war and "he will wind up with Buffy as end game, because he's straight". Then the comments about 'OH, kira is going to be the endgame". "i told you he was straight!! or the truly homophobic comments, that said things like "it's only you 'fags' that want TJ to be gay!" ha ha
That was a beautiful , gracious and giving interview. he said so much with just a few words.
@@ronniecaron6827 I can confirm it wasn't just gay people who wanted TJ to be gay. I'm an older straight woman who watched Andi Mack with my granddaughter and she and I both cheered when Tyrus happened.
they want a spin off! god, now im getting exited for something that probably wont happen 😅
What a sunshine, guys. It's funny when you watch a story that has nothing to do with you (I'm not the target age, I'm not represented in any form - Jonah's anxiety and clueless, maybe?) but still you love it so much for what it means to the world. To see such a representation and so many important stories told in SO LITTLE EPISODES (I mean, we did need more) brings me a joy that I'll take with me forever. Long Live Andi Mack and cheers to those responsible to make Disney's History.
Wow that was well said. I'm not in the target demo age either, but I am gay and this story brought me so many happy tears!
I cannot believe he knew since the second episode he appeared!
OKAY WE BEEN KNEW THEY WERE DROPPING HINTS SKSKSK
if you see the muffin scene, when Cyrus is walking to the muffin, it is fast but watch where TJ's eyes stare at.
@@Benzyl_Penoxide well if you were ever a teenage boy and liked a boy, and he was walking away... you just watch that scene and you'll understand
screw your feelings wow that’s so interesting that Tj liked Cyrus when they first met...
@@Benzyl_Penoxide actually Luke said in an interview that he found out with the second episode he was in Terri who created the show told him at epi 2 he was in that TJ was gay.
I remember when I first say that scene. I realized the way he looked at Cyrus and said he likes him. I can't believe it ended up being true! So happy.
Can we talk about Luke's hair for a moment its beautiful
His hair never looked better then now and in the last epo. I like it long and growing out.
FREEFORM SPIN-OFF TAKE ALL MY MONEY
we are getting Hulu to renew Andi Mack! If you have a Hulu account then please vote!
Izzy Plays yeh I’ve seen people on insta and Twitter tryna talk to Hulu, I don’t have Hulu but I fully support #renewAndiMack
CrustyMustyMe 0 Yes, you don’t have to pay, but there will be ads. If you don’t want ads, you can pay to get rid of them.
I love that they were planning Tyrus that early!!
3:10 Oooop! Looks like we gotta bombard Freeform now too!! 😂
Brittany's Side Channel no! Just Hulu! Hulu are working on getting the rights! If Freeform try to as well it will ruin that!
luke said tj is gay. he confirmed it and im so happyyyy & content rn
how can someone be so cute and funny and adorable 🥺🥺
do you mean, how can someone be so cute and funny and adorable and not have wings. ha ha
YOU SOUNDED GOOD BTW SINGING “ BORN THIS WAY “ don’t tell me otherwise
hi Fran, i got chills, when TJ and Cyrus sang in harmony.
I have the feeling that the song, (by Lady Gaga the queen of gay) went over most people's heads.
While the fandom was screaming Jyrus...
Terri Minski was shouting Tyrus❤️
freeform spin off? yes please!
I love all the actors and actresses in Andi Mack, they are as groundbreaking like their characters and we stan. Luke Mullen is a precious human being uwu
the fact that tyrus was planned to be endgame since the beggining.. terri's mind!
If they get a freeform spin off, I will be so happy
@@enbyeri870 either one works for me, I just want some new andi mack content 😫
join the club ! Then TJ and Cyrus will be happy and we will all be happy.
This guy is great! He's so humble, yet he's part of a piece of really important television history. Luke did a great job as T.J. I'm so glad he was the one to take on this groundbreaking role. Wish him all good things in the future.
He could slap me in the face and I’d gladly thank him
every time luke smiles i just cry he’s so cute and smiles so so widely i’m devastated
his smile, exposes who he is. think back to when he was the mean basketball coach who never smiled. then think of his first interaction over the muffen with Cyrus and his smile began to show. then think of how many times he smiled when he was with cyrus after that.
1:40 the power of an actor!
his smile - cures depression
his hair - theres nothing to say of how good it is
his eyes - get lost in them
luke mullen - every boy you ever need in your life
I'm still crying from the series finale, I loved Andi Mack so much and Tyrus!😭😭😭😭
Loved this so much!! And honestly Luke that’s a lie you have an amazing voice to me 💕 love that You knew TJ was gay all along to!
i got a huge lump in my throat when TJ and Cyruy sang in harmony..
i have a feeling that "born this way" went over a lot of people's heads.
for a show that basically had no LGBTQ content, other the Cyrus, subliminally came out a few times and said the world gay to Jonah (i think it might have gone over jonahs ) they went all out for the last dance. a girls wearing "rainbow" glasses? awesome. i wish i had seen someone wearing rainbow anything at the schools lunch room. also wish that Cyrus didn't stay in the closet for 2 1/2 years.
A Joshua and Luke spin off? Hell yeah I wish it became reality!!
Did you see the hour long interview Luke did, about a month ago? He more then just hints about being disappointed that Disney wouldn't let TYRUS happen. He was very polite about it, but he's still very bothered as well.
I'm quite sure that "family friendly" Homophobic Disney + will never do the spin off. Especially after what they did to Love Victor.
the guy over his shoulder with the glasses that's his handler.
Amazing interview. I hope Disney Channel gives up the rights so Hulu or Freeform could pick up the show.
RFP15 Disney also owns Hulu. Besides, Hulu are working on getting the rights so if we pester Freeform we might lose that opportunity!
I love him so much, goddddd y'all see that smile
Oh god.... can a person be any cuter ?😍😍😍
I for real cried while watching this. It's just so sweet! He's so cute, funny kind and all. Omg I can't believe it's actually over. But hopefully we'll get another season or a spin off one day😭😭❤🏳️🌈
i think i literally just fell in love
wow luke is so nice and comforting to watch. i’ve only ever seen him as tj and never his interviews or anything but he seems so great
i will watch this for the rest of my life
Literally my forever crush
I'm honestly so happy for tyurs and Muffy ITS ABOUT TIME THAT BUFFY GOT HER FIRST KISS and I kinda wish that the Andi mack cast would do the whole song.
I'm waiting unconditionally 😆 #Tyrus ❤️
can we talk about how luke gave peyton his jacket cus thats so cute
Estoy demasiado feliz, Luke es una persona super hermosa.
VIVA EL TYRUS.
Tyrus being confirmed was the happiest part of this week.
this was such a beautiful interview. thank you so much, lisa ❤️😭
I REALLY WANTED A TYRUS KISS! 😭😍
So good to hear the story behind how he found out and how long he knew, been waiting for so long! AND so good to hear that him and Josh slipped hints in, I knew they did, you could totally tell. So beaut!
Also, God, he's like a real-life Disney prince.
also gay tj confirmed :))
What?? TJ is gay? i can't believe that, he's a masculine basketball player.
hahaha just joking, but i've read that same dumb comment more than a few times in the past week.
Love how every time Josh is mentioned he smiles so huge 😂❤❤
I said this before I want freeform to do something with this so that it can expand more
he’s like my everything
IM IMPATIENT BUT EXCITED
I love this man so much. So inspiring, sweet and passionate ❤️
I’ve never watched him like in real life only on Andi Mack and my first impression of him is like so good I think I’ve never had that’s impression of someone before
Awww he’s such a sweet person ❤️
5:02 omg I actually started crying that was so amazing I really needed to hear that today, well said luke ❤️
Great interview, Lisa, thanks! I loved that he specifically talked about TJ being gay from day one. Not that it really needed to be said in the finale, but the representation is still so valuable, in however TJ identified.
Yesss he finally said TJ was gay!! People saying he was bi annoyed the frick out of me
Why the fuck is that anoying? There's almost no bi male representation on tv shows and it would be awesome if TJ was bi
this makes me so happy
SO EXCITEDDDDD
this is the cutest interview in history
Petition to get this show renewed for season 4, I need more tyrus NOW 😂
Yyyyeeeeaaaaaasssssss!!!! Tj! Tyrus!!! 😍😍😍
I’m so excited I loved this show. Also what someone else said his fluffy hair is so cute :( they should have shown it. His smile is so sweet!!
Month ago, i started saying that
"SOMEONE SHOULD DOUSE KIRA WITH WATER AND WATCH HER MELT INTO THE GROUND, LIKE DOROTHY DID IN THE WIZARD OF OZ.
I fell off my chair, when TJ said that to Cyrus.
Now we need a Joshua rush Interview
his smile makes me smile :)
He's just so great
i love him with all of my heart
I’m excited for this! I’m so ready :)
I love this kid. He gives me hope.
He's so talented and involved with so many things, like wow
As a 26 yr old, I'm obviously not the target demographic for the show, but I remember when I first heard about it and KNEW I had to watch it. I struggled so much when I was in middle/high school because I was outed, and I wjsh I would have had a show like this back then. So I'm so happy that kids who may be struggling have this show. Would love to see it picked up by Freeform/Hulu, but I won't hold my breath haha.
OMG! He is such a sweetheart! You're great too! I started watching Andi Mack because of your videos. Thankyou!!
i love ONE MAN
I stan.
I love Luke
He is so cute and lfnskdjs idk.
He’s so pure oml
