Adam Pyles it seems like this is more near the end of filming so im saying the one in the car
Addi McEvoy oh... I thought it was the scene of him and ansel driving to his house when they met for the first time..
Totally forgot about that scene... made me cry tho..

Q&A with Ansel Elgort and Mike Birbiglia from The Fault in Our Stars Movie Set
Sooooooo happy mike birbiglia's in this movie!!!!
Johnsel forever ❤️
Is there anyway I can contact you through email? I have have some questions about your book. "The Fault In Our Stars"
I just feel like I need more to read.
ansel eyebrow raise. omg beautiful.
Current state of being: in love with Ansel Elgort.
Amen to that! ;)
Triple amen to that :)
Tallulah Williams is there a quadruple amen? if it isn't dibs on the copyright!
infinite amen to that! ...Oh God, infinity D: They had their little infinity :'(
YES. YES. YEEEESSSSSSSSS.
IM SO HAPPY HE SAID THAT'S HIS FAVORITE SCENE BECAUSE HOPEFULLY THAT MEANS IT WILL BE GOOD AND THATS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE BOOK
Yeah, the moment when they meet and everything changes!
THE CAR SCENE.....THATS THE PART I BROKE DOWN FOR THE REST OF THE BOOK......IK STILL HEART BROKEN
Ansel has the perfect crooked smile
Exactly like how I imagined Gus'
I love him:)))
John, as a writer, you are a true inspiration to me! I've completely fallen in love with your writing are your stories. Thank you so much for this inspirational and insightful book!
"Don't touch, don't touch. It's not for regular people, only for specials." I immediately thought of a certain series of books by Scott Westerfeld...a reference, perhaps? (Probably not, probably just John being ridiculous, but it'd be nice if it was.)
Ansel looks so adorable here! I never knew John was so nice, so genuine.
awh he's so cute ! the way he smiles is so contagious. ❤️
damn, Ansel is so cute, like omg
I love Ansel Elgort. I love that his favorite part of the movie was one of the saddest parts and most emotional parts. I love that he's a professor in the department of half smiles with a dual appointment in having a voice that makes my skin feel more like skin.
So i had cancer about 6 months before this movie came out and I ended up reading this book in the hospital (I finished it when's I was in the ICU with a horrible fever). This book was wonderful and moments when I was sitting in pain due to one of my medications my mom would read me TFIOS and it would calm me. It was really funny however because I went to see the movie with my cancer support group because two of my friends were in the movie (CJ and Lexi) who are both in the first like 3 seconds of this video and in the cancer support group in the film. This just made me remember how important your righting was for me (and still is) almost 4 years ago when I sat in my own hospital bed.
We had all these people yelling at us to be quiet because they were filming The Real Movie. (You'll note that I am also a little quiet, which is VERY unlike me.) -John
OMG Ansel is the perfect Caleb AND the perfect Gus!!!! That's ironic cuz Diveregnt and TFIOS are my fave books of 2013 :P
WHO'S IDEA WAS IT TO PUT ANSEL IN PAPER TOWNS???????!!!!! I almost died of feels.
Yeah, I was pretty suprised, too. (Okay, I almost fell off the chair in the cinema. :'D ) But I was also really angry that he didn't played Gus, the security guard. I mean... are you kidding me? It would be genius! They had the chance to give him a new life and they didn't use it. In addition, the security guard says: "Mi casa es tu casa", wich is just the same thing Gus told Hazel the day they met. OMG. (And sorry for my English, it's waaaay not perfect... :D ) Okay? ;)
Don't worry, mine is not the best.
wait. What security guard? and don't worry, I screamed.
+Jerlyn yeo in the book the the security guard for the sunset building, where Q and Margo go, his name was Gus.
Tabatha Berlanga Sandoval it was his
he's the perfect gus
Am I the only one that only looked at Ansel's nose?? It is so shiny!
Sunlight girl sun123 THAT MADE ME LAUGH...AND YEAH..YOU'RE RIGHT...
I did it's so weird
his eyebrow dance though
bro i'm watching this in 2020 and the both of them getting excited over thumbprint for the iPhone is hilarious and just like woowwww like remember when that was a new thing 😂😂😂
Ansel cant not look at himself
right?! it's so cute.
he's obviously not used to vlogging cameras lol. babe, DO NOT LOOK AT THE VIEW FINDER.
Honestly to me, he looks EXACTLY what I pictured Gus to look like. I guess everyone, when they read, pictures characters in their mind differently. So I understand when some people say they don't picture him as Augustus. Anyways, I'm so excited to see this movie, especially because Shailene Woodley and Ansel look exactly like what I pictured Hazel and Gus to look like! It's going to be great!
When I first saw Ansel, he didn't seem like how I pictured Gus, but every time he smiled in this video, I saw exactly how I pictured Gus' smile. I couldn't help but smile when he did.
May I just say how adorable ansel is 😊
I know💜
Right ❤️
Oh my god that scene, that scene, lord.. I can't.
Ansel is adorable
When I first saw Ansel I didn't see Augustus but the more you see him and see him doing this smile the more you see Augustus. He think he's perfect. And I almost die every time he's smiling
OMG DAT EYEBROW!!! Jansel is a thing. I ship Hansel.
JOHNSEL. It's JOHNSEL.
Sorry.... Autocorrect
Ohhh got it.
at first I was so confused as to what scene ansel was talking about and then IT CAME TO ME AND I JUST WANTED TO THROW MYSELF I CANT IMAGINE HOW GREAT THAT SCENE CAME OUT AND HOW MUCH IT WILL MAKE ME CRYYYUU
ummmmmmmmm can i marry ansel?? he is sooo cute omggggg
katty sanchez no, no he's not
Yes he is
no he's not.
We can share him
Lol
i love these tfios videos and the tfios cast and everything about it! SO EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE ALTHOUGH I KNOW I'M GONNA CRY THE WHOLE TIME
I AM GOING TO CRY JESUS WHY HAVE I WAITED SO LONG TO WATCH THIS VIDEO
it is indeed the cutest thing i've ever heard the way ansel got told he had the part makes me feel better that they're taking care of this movie. it's gonna be good
Does he remind anyone else of a young Harrison Ford? Just the understated way he talks and his facial expressions.
this was about the best and cutest and awesomest video from john i have seen in a while. I love you john and ansel and mike is hilarious
Whenever John and Hank post a new video it makes me day. Completely and totally just makes me so happy too see what inspiring words they have to say. Thank you John, and Hank! And also thanks John for the amazing, depressing, greatly written books.
The feels from the scene in the car. Meaning that brings as much emotion as mentioning the game.
Ansel moving his eyebrow makes me want to cry 😍
Which is why it's his favorite!! If he pulls it off, which I am sure he will, it will be legendary and memorable! It takes a phenomenal actor to do that.
I'm glad that they didn't leave the car scene out, like I was kinda worried that they would sugarcoat the ending in the movie
I think I just shed a tear when Ansel talked about that seen! I have literally let my book travel all around my town!
I see Ansel talking and moving his hands and then i saw Nat impressing Ansel and I was like :O HAHAHAHA!
The amount of happiness and smiles I take away from this video
WOW I WASN'T SURE ABOUT ANSEL AS AUGUSTUS BUT THEN I HEARD HIS VOICE AND OH MY GOD I'M CRYING HE'S PERFECT
OK THAT STORY WAS LITERALLY THE MOST ADORABLE THING I HAVE EVER HEARD I AM HUGGING MYSELF BECAUSE IT WAS JUST SO DARN CUTE I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS FILM
Ansel really looks like Augustus. I mean, have you seen what he does at 2:12 ? Like Augustus does in the book when Isaac reads his text to him. I don't have any words because it's simply wonderful
I'll be honest, I wasn't the happiest when I found out Ansel Elgort is playing Gus, but after all of John's videos, Tweets and Instagram pictures I couldn't be more excited!!
ANSEL TALKS SO FAST, IT'S SO BLOODY CUTE. OH MY GOD.
I love the way he tells the story about getting his role!
"There is a thing called "Johnsel"
"Its a thing"
"Yeah its a thing. I SHIP IT!"
"ME TOO!!"
ROFL. LMFAO
Ansel Elgort is adorable he's actually exactly what imagined Augustus being like!! I'm beyond excited for this move!
THAT'S LIKE ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SCENES !!!!!! Ahhhhhhh
When Ansel said he was filming Divergent, I lost all self control. I was fangirling so hard....
Hank for the past couple of week:
"I need a *scishow movie* "
I love Ansel sooo much.i love how he found out he got the part. Exactly like the book but instead of hazel its gus who found out there going to Amsterdam.
I literally read the book i three hours because I could not put it down. I sobbed quite loudly over a fictional character who I had grown rather close to.
This is amazing, you do what Ive just started doing and it's very inspiring, vlog and open your heart to your audience and show them your process I love it
"It was a *very* secure package.* Idk why but that made me laugh really hard... lol
Everyone’s talking about Ansel, but Mike Birbiglia is fucking hilarious
He mentioned Divergent while I was already fangirling about TFIOS and I may have passed out...

That subtle wink/ Eyebrow... Thing from Ansel at 0:58
I was only kind of excited for the movie, but now that I know that Birbigs is in it, I CAN'T WAIT!
After seeing Ansel in Carrie, I'm afraid he'll become the new Leonardo DiCaprio: handsome, good hair, great actor, and dies in every other mOVIE DAMMIT.
which means he'll probably never win an Oscar either.
when ansel started talking about the scene with "gus in the car" i burst into tears. i am so excited for this movie it's insane.
John: johnsel. I ship it.
Me: I ship it. I submarine it. I TITANIC IT!!
Ansel explains events the same way I imagined Augustus would. It's too adorable and I now can't breathe
that tiny water bottle though, we dont have them in australia
your profile picture tho 😭
it makes me cry just looking at it !
You don't have tiny water bottles in Australia??
Nicole3900 nope, hahaha
Yes we do.. You can get them on airplanes and sometimes in hospitals..
I was so exited when I saw mike birbiglia was going to be in the movie!
Who else thinks ansel is the cutest guy possible 3 :* :*
He has like the cutest face possible 😅
He was an awkward actor in tfios tho.. But, still charming
•Chocolate Myolk• me
so from all these videos about him on set it seems like they included everything in the book unlike where you have a really good book and then the movie leaves out like the tiny part thats actually really good, like im so happy they're keeping the movie and book close
OMG THE CAR SCENE! OH MY FRICKING GOD, WHY? IT WAS THE SADDEST PART OF THE WHOLE FRICKING BOOK! UGHH!
Now I know Ansel's favourite scene was the car scene [and yes, those of us who have read the book do know what he's referring to] I'm looking forward to seeing the film even more!
...so ansel an shailene are playing the two leads in both divergent AND tfios?
i love him so much and omfg i cant even stand how adorable he is
I read the book in a day.. I almost threw the book, but I was okay after a night of sulking because of a fictional character . xD
That's it. John Green, you are my favorite human. Thank you for existing.
I know it's been like a year sense tfios came out; but will you ever consider making a sequel to tfios? Like the before story of Augustus Waters?
This was so beautiful it made me cry a little.
John, you may ship Johnsel, but I ship Mesel (me and Ansel)
i'm so glad to see that birbiglia is just as awkward in real life as he is in his stand-up. he's not a character comedian, he really is that guy. i love it. i wanna be his friend. and yours john lol
what scene is he talk about at 1:09
I think it's towards the end when he tries to buy his own pack of cigarettes but gets in trouble and Hazel comes to get him and he breaks down
OMG 🙈 only one of the saddest parts ever😥☔️
yeah I cried
I think it might be the egging of the car or it could be after when Gus goes to get more smokes and he's in the car and calls hazel
Oh thank you I thought I it was the scene where he was driving with Hazel on his way home for the first time. You know the scene where he is showing and telling him why he is a really bad driver.
Thank you John you are amazing!! Thank you for blessing my life with your incredible book and your continued awesomeness over the years. They all wanted me to be sure I said " 'hi back' to the internet man" so from the Smith/Curry/Babcox family we saved ya some leftovers! :) You are welcome in Portland anytime!
So, Uh,
Elephant in the room?
I love the chemistry between john and all the actors.
The book. Was the book.
his eyebrow raise at 0:58 my heart melted
hey isnt that the guy who gets killed by the bucket in Carrie?
Dictismit probably he is in it
YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OMFG ANSEL
Was the car scene where Agustus is in the gas station?
Oh god I hate that part..
Yeah
I want a longer video with Birbiglia. I hope you become the best friends ever and do tons of projects together.
Unfortunately I didn't picture him as Augustus. I mean he's cute and adorable, but I don't find him as sexy as the book makes Augustus to be, you know ? I... Pictures someone similar to Leonardo Dicaprio when he was in titanic. Sexy, confident and raw... This is just my opinion, I hope he proves me wrong.
Okay, so I'm totally with you on this one, at least I was, initially... He doesn't look the part, TRUE. But he has the FEEL of Augustus Waters, the easy smile, the effortless charm, and a natural goodness. The thing is, on the sole basis of still shots of him and candid interviews, I was totally against the casting. However, I tried to see his previous work, such as in the 2013 remake of Stephen King's Carrie where he effectively plays Tommy Ross. He was ASTOUNDING. Watch Carrie, if not the whole thing, at least the prom scene, and you'll know that he can deliver a great Augustus Waters.
god, there was so much more to gus than just being a good looking guy.
I agree just mainly because he wasn't what I was expecting, but looks can get you so far. I think what really matters if Ansel can BE Gus, (even if can't be physicaly per se)...but he proved he could in Carrie.
laura bruno i know, i'd even forgotten that he was hot most of the time because there was so much else to him, unlike books like twilight where authors shove in your face HE'S PRETTY SO LIKE HIM.
I CHANGE MY MIND. I HAVE FALLEN FOR HIM. HE IS AS MANY PEOPLE WOULD SAY "PERFFFFF" FOR THE ROLE AUGUSTUS
I'm so excited for this movie. I absolutely lived the book, my favourite book of all time.
Ansel's eyebrows...
im falling more and more in love with ansel
Who's hank?
sophia saldivar how many people are gonna ask who's hank?
Yea he really should! Love your profile pic. Btw
