You wait for one ‘Young Royals’ star to come on the podcast and TWO come on the podcast back to back! And I am so excited to share this teaser of the full podcast episode with Omar Rudberg!
In case you are new to the ‘Young Royals’ hype (lucky YOU, you have two epic seasons to binge for the very first time) the Swedish Netflix TV show follows Prince Wilhelm, played by Edvin Ryding (head to the previous episode to watch/listen to him!) as he meets a new love interest, Simon when he is sent to boarding school. It is the LGBTQIA+ show we have long needed on our screens and it’s no wonder so many people have fallen in love with the show - myself included!
In this teaser Omar talks about how the show has enabled him to embrace himself, find self love, feel more comfortable in his own skin and find a greater confidence in his body image. And he shares just how special his onscreen bond is with Edvin Ryding offscreen. It turns out they are so comfortable with each other now, Omar is not afraid to call out coffee breath in kissing scenes.
Elsewhere in the full podcast episode Omar talks about THAT coming out scene at the end of 'Young Royals' season two and shares some great words about breaking down the stereotypes surrounding masculinity, his journey with his mental health.
But as someone who has always had an up and down relationship with my own body image, Omar's honesty on body image really stuck with me. So I hope his words make you feel less alone in your own struggles.
I also hope you continue to listen and find the power to Reign in your own lives and if you love this episode, please get in touch (follow me across social media @joshsmithhosts), I love hearing from you. Love, Josh xxx

It's just mind-blowing that Omar's first acting job is Young Royals, he's so incredibly good! In season 2 he kept portraying so many conflicting emotions just with his eyes. And he is somehow able to sing emotions in a way that gives me goosebumps.
_Not really._ At lest 90% of his "acting" is really just being himself (that most of us would love to know in person). The other 'acting 10%' is just adding a great story to his already fine personality.
@@penboyasgod6103stop lying Omar is freakn amazing on the show. Who tf are you tryna fool lmao? Omar is nothing like Simon and the fact that you said this shows how natural and real his acting is when there's no similarity between him and Simon
Ikr. I couldn't believe when I heard it's his first acting role
@@peptobismol8968
You just showed your pure ignorance about acting/actors and how they become so popular. *EVERY actor presents him-/her-self within the character they portray.*
@@penboyasgod6103Aww you just m4d you couldn't push the "greatest actor of this generation" narrative with your white boy cause Omar the first time actor went toe to toe with him like that dude himself said 😂 stay pressed ❤️
I think one of the most beautiful things he said is that he feels "safe" with Edvin. That's such an important factor in any relationship...romantic or not!
this!!! i loved that he said that
i cried
i listed to the full podcast (which i'd recommend everyone does) and it was interesting that omar was talking about males showing emotion and mental health.. ie perceptions about males being able to cry. he said in the podcast (which isnt included in the video) that it's a strange concept to him that people cant share their emotions and he finds that it's important if you are sharing emotions or crying that you're around people who are supportive of you and make you feel "safe." when he went on to talk about the intimate scenes in young royals with edvin, he then said he feels safe with him (which you know from this video) and i think that's a testament to their great friendship off-screen and how they're able to portray their characters with such chemistry. he talked about their friendship growing so much in season 2 from season 1 and it's a very important message for people who struggle with mental health, especially young men.
Thank you very much, link?
SOO TRUEEE
Omar is SO talented. His portrayal of Simon is beautiful and so authentic 💜. I loved that he said “I have more self-love” because of Young Royals. I think the show is doing just that for a lot of people all over the world. Luv him. Looking forward to following his music and acting career!! 💜 Awesome Interview.
I loved when he said that too - it's so special when you find something or have an experience which teaches you to embrace yourself! Hope you enjoy the full podcast episode - will be live from 6AM UK time tomorrow!
When he says he feels safe with Edvin I cried 😫🫶🏻
Me too! ❤
"I feel safe with Edvin". This may not mean a lot to many but it's a big thing to say and feel. God, I love this!
Omar notes that teens rightly freak out when they see themselves represented in the show, but I’m 55, and I freaked out, as I was a Simon in 1985 and lots of pain appeared unprocessed. The show helped me process the inequality I’ve been feeling. I bet there’s many more of me. The fanbase is much broader than teens. Thanks to the whole cast and team for this wonderful story and thanks to Omar and Edvin for sharing their chemistry and energy with the world. And thank you Josh for having these wonderful conversations with them.
Ah, yes 💜 :)
This is such an amazing show
Yes!! I'm 30! Haha I've passed my teen era but still freaking out over YoungRoyals portrait of love and relationships and different difficult situations and healthy or unhealthy ways to deal with them in life. Amd just the amazing way they show intimacy with touch and looks and smiles. Omg loveeee
I am 40 and I loved the show. When i was a teen a didnt unsterstand how importat is that you love yourself. But now i know. I love teens show- maybe beauce reminds me of when I was a teenager myself. I love Omar-his is so simle an smile. And i love his song and acting.
Absolutely! 42 and a big fan of the show which makes me reflect on my teenage years when I was restricted, stunted and had to hide my authentic self. And having recently questioned my gender identity thx to Heartstopper I basically re-live my teenage years through these shows.
I feel the same and I'm 44.
It's an amazing show
These two actors are absolutely adorable -- in every possible way. They both seem equally nice and kind. Must have been a thrill getting to chat with them.
It was such a thrill and so interesting too! Hope you enjoy the full podcast episode with Omar too, it will be live from 6AM UK time tomorrow! Let me know what you think!
@@reignwithjoshsmith I look forward to watch tomorrow's podcast. He is such a special human being, so perfectly casted for the role of Simon. Being from Venezuela makes me feel very proud of his success in such a far away place as Sweden. Watching Young Royals and getting to enjoy this series so much , I found my self turning into what I believe makes me for sure, the oldest fan of Omar and Edvin and their wonderful performances. A real gem to be sure, that took me by surprise at 78.5 years of age, when I thought I had seen almost everything.
@@rafaelfleitas5038 Ah, 💕 this is just amazing
Blessings to you ☺️
@@brightshining Thank you.
"okay, are we gonna eat some gums, so we don't like throw up?"
lmaooo i'm loving this part way to much asjfknsa anyways he is 100% right. once you learn to address things like this, life becomes way more liveable haha
It's strangely comforting to hear that such conventionally attractive people as Omar can also feel self-conscious about their bodies. Makes you think "well, maybe I also look OK, but just don't know that I do" lol
We all need more self-acceptance.
I cant tell if its a swedish thing or an edvin and omar thing, but it is sooo refreshing to hear such down to earth and unpretentious conversation, and in such a comfortable light hearted way about the whole acting and becoming a superstar thing.. It seems so normal to talk like this amongst my creative friends, but so rare to ever see it amongst famous people..
For example its so nice to hear Omars understanding and natural empathy about how he would feel the same as the fans if he saw it 10 years ago.. And I think thats super cute, to take himself out of the picture and just understand what the bigger relevance is for people and how meaningful the story is in their hearts.
Its also super refreshing to hear that process of building personal growth and self acceptance through the activity of acting and filming a character, and I can imagine its one of the blessings of being on a set like that one, with director and crew and safe intimacy coordinator and prioritising trust, and telling such a beautifully written story as that one is.. Celebrating everyone's natural imperfections, and truely showing the human beauty in its entireity, not just focusing in on small "flaws".. I mean this about the characters' personalities and awkward clumsy teenage discoveries as well as what it must be like embodying acting it. I can imagine the pressure he must have been under for years as a teenage touring musician and model.. and how comforting it must be now to be in a different role where the "imperfections" are actually the greatest strength, hes obviously a total babe, but it is the uniqueness of everyone that is what makes it absolutely phenominal acting which is sensative and approachable and relatable. Its so interesting! I think after 10 years of social media, the world is thirsty for this kind of raw realism. Im so thankful.
Cant wait to hear the rest of the podcast, thanks again for the wonderfully relaxed and conversational interview. I love young royals, its touched me for so many separate reasons, and so I really appreciate the conversations and talks about it all. Bless
Can’t speak for Swedish, but as a Finn I can say that we Nordic people are pretty down to earth and value authenticity. 😊
yes exactly!!!
@@YugeYun I'd say that for us Germans too...
thanks for having these thoughts, and putting them as accurate as you did, in words. Cant agree more
@@UliFandoms yeah its true
I love Omar so much, both him and Edvin have such beautiful souls ❤️❤️❤️
After talking to them, I couldn't agree more! Hope you love the full interview with Omar which will be on the podcast, and will be live tomorrow morning from 6AM UK time!
I agree...I tell everyone. They radiate a light that just makes you feel so good.
@@reignwithjoshsmith I listened to all of it, you're such a great interviewer! I'm so happy that his English - his 3rd language - is getting better so that more people understand what an amazing person he is.
Feeling safe with each other really helps their chemistry on-screen. Their relationship (the highs and lows) feels so real.
Omar really is the sweetest. He's such a talented human being, and it's truly heartwarming to know that the show has helped him being more confident and finding self love, especially after all he's been through when he was younger. He deserves to feel good about himself and feel loved. I still can't believe it was his first time acting, he's a natural!
Those 7 minutes went by much too fast! Josh, you seem to have a talent for making your interview partner feeling very comfortable. Because there are not many interviews out there with Omar talking in English without Edvin by his side and seeming so relaxed and comfortable. I think the reason is the huge amount of respect and honest interest you are showing. So thank you for that! Not necessary to mention, that after your interviews I adore Omar and Edvin even more (thought this was impossible) 💜💜
Omar just declared the singular most important component of ANY relationship; be it person-to-person or with one's Divinity, and that is TRUST. He cited the trust he has in Edvin. So precious! That must be returned to be authentic as I sense that it is. They are utter magic together, partly because of trust. I pray that both are not too young to understand how rare and priceless that trust in one another truly is, both in front of the camera and beyond.
It makes me so happy that Omar has grown in self-confidence and self-acceptance since doing the show. And I love that he and Edvin feel safe with each other. That says a lot of good things about the kind of people both Edvin and Omar are. 💜
Omar, such a beautiful and adorable soul, I love him ❤️ "I feel safe with Edvin" 🥺
Oh I love how Omar was talking about Edvin and that he feels safe with him, I really want to have friendship like they have and I really like how Omar said it helped him a lot to love himself. Loved it all! Good questions.
I can not say enough how much these guys changed my look on life. They are so precious. Omar is gorgeous, not only his looks but his mind a soul as well. They both are younger then I am but have a way better look on everything then me xD
"I feel safe with Edvin". I want that kind of friendship!.
This show is so beautiful, hell even my 71 year old grandma loves it ❤
5:43 "I feel safe with Edvin" 🥺 so does he Omar, So does he!!!! We can see that♥️
This is such an excellent interview! Props to Josh for asking such meaningful questions and leaving room for Omar to answer at length. Well done!
i adore omar and edvin. they both speak so coherently and have such powerful things to say. thank you for these wonderful interviews 🫶
And get ready for the full 28 minute long podcast episode with Omar which will be dropping at 6AM tomorrow (Thursday). Click here to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts from: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 so you don't miss it! Hope you love it! x
Can't wait!
He's awesome. Edvin and Omar have the best chemistry, I love it.
omar is soooo talented and i love how he portrays simon in the show
"sometimes people laughed, sometimes people were cringing" omg poor omar :(
He was bullied a lot as a child, and almost gave up singing. 🥺💔
Omar is literally such an amazing person, he makes me feel so safe and happy and he has honestly saved me sm and hes my comfort person i feel happy in my own skin because of him. My dream is to one day meet this incredible person
WHAT OMAR SAID ABOUT FEELING PRETTY EVEN WHEN YOU ARENT LOOKING YOUR BEST IS SO BEAUTIFUL ive never heard that before and i really needed to,,,,,, i love him and edvin aaaaa and i thought their bodies were rlly beautiful maybe that sounds weird (NOT SEXUALLY IM A LESBIAN😭) so i feel rlly validated and i hope they do too
I loved that part of the interview too! Thank you for watching and if you want more from Edvin and Omar make sure you check out the full interviews on my podcast, Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Let me know what you think if you do and hope you enjoy!
@@reignwithjoshsmith HI JOSH!! i didn’t even realize these weren’t the full episodes, i’ll listen right away, thank u!!!!!🫶🫶
Omar is BEAUTIFULLL both inside and out oh my goddd im crushing
The fact that this was Omar's first acting role is crazy. How is he so good
Omg💕I LOOOOOOOOOOVEEE OMAR. 💕 he’s such an humble soul. Keeping being great, and just know you’re not lucky, you’re blessed🙏
He is also doing a lot for representation. This role would have been normally played by a white guy. Omar is flying the flag for Latinos which is likely why he and the show are so popular in Brazil for example. As a person of colour, I cheer him for this also. Great casting decision.
wow I'm gonna be honest both interviews with edvin and omar made me cry like the way they saying that everyone should love themselves the way they are is just amazing and so yes I just think it's fabulous and them both are amazing I love them so much
He is so pretty, adorable and funny💘
Omar is so talented. It is so hard to believe that Young royal is his first show because in the show his acting was so good. And also a brilliant singer.💜
HE IS SO TALENTED!!! If you want more of the chat, you can listen to it in full on my podcast, Reign, too! Check it out here hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 and let me know what you think! Josh x
omar will forever be the most beautiful person i have ever encountered 💝💝
1:20 this moment was so relatable for me as a young teen.
There are so many relatable moments in this show and this interview! If you want to hear more from Omar - and there's a Edvin episode too - make sure you check out the full interview on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 hope you enjoy!
oh i love him so much, my only complain is that i wish this interview was at least 1 hour long! ❤️
Thank you for always asking thoughtful and meaningful questions 💜💜
That's such a kind thing to say and honestly what I wanted this podcast to be about! So thank YOU! And I hope you love the full podcast interview, will be available from tomorrow at 6am! x
