WHY DO I CALL MY FANS GREG?
Greg is the strongest family on the internet, we're the fastest growing channel on TH-cam, and we make fire content. So, instead of making up some pun using my name and calling my fans that, I decided to use a different name entirely. A name so strong, haters tremble when it is spoken. WE ARE GREG. AND WE ARE TAKING OVER THE INTERNET. And all you have to do to join is hit subscribe and turn on notifications.

The fact that Axel also said that he has NEVER been in a play before... Not even in school or anything-
I came from a pretty small, poor Australian school. I didn't have the opportunity to do anything to do with the arts. so it's really not impossible for someone to want to get into acting and just not having the opportunity.
idk if it's the same for this guy, but I'm just saying it's possible
@@wowreacts9717 Yeah for sure there's lots of ways to get some form of experience either through drama classes, minor roles in school plays, clubs outside of school or even just watching interviews with actors about their process. Also, if you don't have any experience, DON'T EXPECT TO GET INTO JUILLIARD! I wouldn't apply for my science degree if I had never done any science before.
@@spac3chicken918 yea I agree lmao. maybe a community college is his best bet ..
@@spac3chicken918 boutta go apply for NASA
Im stupid as hell and only know that 34+34 is 77
the absolute ferocity of his fans sending hate comments to a COLLEGE is terrifying.
Thats a sign they'll never be accepted into any college
It's absolutely wild considering like. Julliard is one of the most prestigious/selective arts universities - like, where is the energy for me not getting into harvard law smh
They literally commented on a memorial post…
And like we haven’t even seen him act?
@@ellielovegood6307 all TikTokers are "actors" apparently
dude if i were axel i’d be so embarrassed. i know he didn’t encourage this, but the fact that thousands of people are attacking a prestigious school for not accepting some guy is insane, like for all we know he could be a bad actor. tbh i wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t able to get into other schools bc of this
Apparently based on a few comments, they said that he been acting for a month
It all makes sense now
@@Noone-wt9jz a month?? yeah, no wonder he didn’t get in lmao
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] het bozo, this is how you get people to never want to subscribe to you.
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] you’re stating an opinion as a fact
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] oh my god go outside
The way ppl are defending his “ acting” they haven’t seen a second of is actually so crazy like “ he will win an Oscar one day “ he can’t even practice an audition let alone make it through one without changing accents like what 😭😭😭😭
You can tell his fans have no idea how the acting industry (or just real life) works lol.
@@tokyoyoongi5538 They’re not fans they are stans. They’ve gone out of control lmao
@@tokyoyoongi5538 They expect it to work like some barbie movie where you audition for some play then a movie guy goes like “hey you good come work for us!”
reminds me of how in videos of people lipsyncing to tv show and movie audio and the comments are all just like "you're so good at acting! you deserve an oscar! you should get your own show!" and i assume some of them are joking but also a lot of them seem dead serious lmao...like that's not even how acting works
@@jasperjazzieand will call them iconic or an icon
Of course he's not getting into fucking JULLIARD, they didn't even accept queen Sharpay Evans
this made me scream today
Well her twin was the one who put in more work. Don’t try and act like Ryan didn’t deserve that scholarship.
that was my first thought lmao
@S Stewart 🙄🤚🏼
@@thatgirl1947 No no, Ryan absolutely deserved it. But they gave a spot to fucking Troy, a man who didn't even KNOW what Julliard was. 😭
Auditioning to Juilliard without having done Shakespeare at all is kinda like appying for a math degree at Harvard and writing "PS: I don't fuck with fractions" in your application essay
im crying lmao
but what if you don't fuck with fractions?
@@reviewerofcomments Totally understandable in my book. But I doubt I have the same standards as Harvard
or MIT. And my daughter got into MIT and has her PhD. I drove to see her once when I found out her math instructor was a Nobel Prize winner, and I just wanted to meet one! (nice person!). Also she shared an apartment with 4 Romanians and a Japanese student, as they were "Much more into studying than the Americans" They all just worked HARD. But they also all love science and now have jobs they love and the pay is not bad.
@@reviewerofcomments Then Mathematics may not be your ideal degree.
Axel didn’t tell them to attack Juilliard but he did a very piss poor, half assed job telling them to stop.
He was straight up giggling and we're supposed to believe he wanted them to stop...
To be fair I have yet to see a young TikTok influencer actually make a good response to stuff like this or apologize in a normal way. Kids really shouldnt be allowed to manage a public profile of any kind that have a million+ followers. They definitely need a PR manager at that point.
EDIT: a lot of people are interpretating this like I'm saying that because he's young he shouldn't be responsible. That's not what I mean at all. He's 22, but he's still not mature enough to know what to censor online. It's not like you learn how to handle a following of millions of people ever. People will be stupid online no matter what, he is responsible for addressing it but the actions of his followers shouldn't always been seen as an extension of his actions. (I meant kids on TikTok in general as well, 12 yr olds shouldn't be allowed to have huge followings IMO)
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] Lmaooo that has nothing to do with OPs comment💀💀
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] yes I’m sure your gatcha-tube career is really kicking off
@@Nonamesguey ,
Its probably best to ignore people like these, they are usually doing it for attention. (As you can see, its working by how much views they have)
What his fans also don't understand is - up until they started drama - HE COULD HAVE HAD A CHANCE NEXT YEAR.
So true. Like, if he had just practiced a bit more, than he could have gotten in next year!
Litterally, they are so immature.
Not anymore I bet.
Yup, no way they’ll let him anywhere near campus now.
@@huntsman9316"you have a degree from juilliard? That's cool. I have a restraining order from juilliard..."
his fans attacking a prestigious college probably ruined his chances to be taken seriously as an actor
edit: he even said prior to his audition he had no acting experience. what were his fans expecting?
They commented on a memorial post…
@@ellielovegood6307 oh damn..
And he even told them to stop and they just kept doing it. Insane…
And he had very little chance anyway
Some fans are TOO loyal
His fans were attacking a memorial post about a woman who died. And literally tried to get other students kicked out just for getting in.
Smh
White boy stan culture is another plague we’re also dealing with
I'm sure he's happy with all the new subscribers though...
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] ok
Classy.
This situation is way more unfair to Danny considering he wasn’t even offered an audition! This new information just shows how Juilliard is even worse than we heard!
I think you mean Noel Miller
I am the cool kid from Germany making videos for the USA and the rest of the world. I will make your day so don't say nay to me today, dear boa
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] cringe :flooshed:
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] I hope you know that your content is very terrible delete your TH-cam
😂😂😂😂😂
Coming into this video, I learned:
1. Who Axel Webber is
2. What a Julliard is
3. This isn't a Drew Gooden video
i think ik why the 3th one but idk at the same time
@@shutthefuckup4006 it’s because they’re both compared a lot cause their videos are really similar
⁴
no, no im pretty sure this is drew
it is drew what are you talking about
Worst thing is, his fans were harassing Julliard's students on tiktok. This whole situation is so strange, especially when it comes to fan response :/
TIk Tok is crazy yo. Tis why I like miniscule fanbases and communities. Where it's like a nice family rather than trying to control a diverse country sized population. Bigger the size, it becomes harder to manage the community
@@SgtHawk45 YEP YEP YEP SMALL FANBASES ARE SO COOL i am currently in a rather big fanbase and its frustrating as a minority of the fans are ruining it for everyone. So i dont interact with the wider fandom anymore, keeping to myself and a few friends in that mutual fandom. Fan culture is lovely in the sense of fan content (art, music, etc.) but not so great overall!! (sorry for the paragraph lmao, just like talking about fan culture)
@@criesintiredstudent5966 if it’s not to personal, what fandom?
Omg wth.
@@Ivuxoxo minecraft TH-cam (mcyt)
honestly im just surprised that this guy somehow manages to always look like he's just gotten out of bed
pls i do too i dont like him but i dont see the problem😭
I remember seeing a viral tweet where someone said he looks like the year 2008
But like in the best way
i think that’s what makes him popular, he’s really dusty looking but he’s cute enough yk?
yeah Danny should brush his hair more
"Spelled Juilliard wrong, so... I am definitely not going to get in."
This is so funny because Axel made the exact same mistake on ALL of his posts about Juilliard 🤣 maybe that's also why he didn't get in?!
@Renaud Beaulieu anger issues?
@Renaud Beaulieu sir this is a wendy's
@@Amsayy 🤣
@Quark go cry about it
@Quark I feel bad for you
Danny steadfastly refusing to age while simultaneously going grey is a total power move tbh
it looks like highlights!!
He really just blacklisted himself from ever getting any serious acting jobs. Juilliard has like a 7% acceptance rate and his fans were really expecting someone with ZERO experience to get in.
And he picked one of the MOST overused Shakespeare monologues?! Bud you were the 100th Puck "I jest to Oberon" monologue they heard that day and you did a bad fake accent during it...OFC you didn't get in!
As someone who works in the arts: none of us like working with people who act and feel entitled. We've had to completely cut ties with artists because of how whiny and straight up disrespectful they were when told things they didn't like hearing. The arts community is VERY close knit among professionals, too, so once people find out you're an asshole with a massive ego who's impossible to work with, nobody will want to hire you, no matter how talented you are.
So I hope this kid is having a great time digging his own grave!
To be fair his fans blacklisted him.
Did he? I feel like it was more like his fans ruining his career, which does make me feel a bit bad for him. From what I understand, all he did was share something about his life, and then he told people to stop and they didn't...Idk, I'm not a fan of his and I guess I don't know all the details but it kinda seems like it's lowkey not his fault-
no i truly think it was his fans that blacklisted him. i really don’t understand why people thought that it was appropriate to threaten and flood the schools page like i’d be so embarrassed. i was embarrassed for him. at the end of the day, literally these ppl don’t know him and they most likely ruined shit for him.
1. I'm pretty sure he's now blacklisted from a lot of prestigious Schools because of this and 2. Imagine being the social media coordinator for Julliard, or however you spell it, and being fully puzzled by a spontaneous SURGE of comments about some kid you've never heard of.
They probably blocked certain terms in the comments including his name. Also, Juilliard. You were close, just forgot the extra i.
yeah his fans are stupid, they've probably ruined his life
It doesn't matter if he's blacklisted. He already got what he wanted which was clout and attention. I highly doubt he was serious about Julliard other than for attention. If he were actually serious he would have been prepping years ahead of time and he definitely would have heard of Shakespeare.
@@cocogoat1111 I mean that’s probably true. Especially cuz serious actors know Shakespeare
But like they probably did fuck with his chances of anything serious at least for a while
As someone who also didn’t get accepted to Juilliard it’s kinda crazy to see this Axel situation. Juilliard has an insanely small acceptance rate and most people know that when applying. There are many reasons to criticize Juilliard, like them raising tuition costs during COVID and banning students from campus when they protested against tuition increases, but I don’t get why people are upset with Juilliard because they didn’t accept Axel? Apparently he barely has any acting experience and he only spent a month learning his audition pieces.
As for him doing an accent for his audition we’re taught NOT to do any accents. Unless you have a dialect coach most colleges want you to use your real voice.
Exactly! You’re SPITTING
It’s a joke relax lmao
@@ItsBigChuck Harrassing a college for not accepting a random white boy?
@@manboy4720 yeah apparently both his parents are rich asf
having no acting experience and only applying to the single most exclusive acting program in the country is the sort of tomfoolery that i didn't think actually existed
Literally when I toured the school, the acting program is the most selective last year out of 6785 people who auditioned for the acting program, 16 undergrads got it...
@@LetsGaurr424Jfc that’s insane… in general you shouldn’t apply to only the number one school in your chosen field, especially if you’re like Axel and don’t exactly have the knowledge or experience. The fact that the acceptance rate is so low is crazy though. I’ve never thought about going to Juilliard, why are they so elite and selective?
@user-iy3nt5mm2v History to the school, previous undergrads as well as being one of the most elite performing arts schools in the world. The school itself isn't that large and it has more graduate degrees than undergraduate degrees. To be able to claim you're a student at juliard is one of the most amazing things someone in the performing arts industry can claim. I have extensive training in performing arts (mainly vocal) but I don't think I would even think of applying there. Even the person doing our tour applied 14 times to the school before she was accepted into the graduate program for vocal and piano. She was amazing. In total only about 1600 students attended so it really is cream of the crop.
It's absolutely because his fans are 11 year olds with a crush who don't understand how applications, auditions, universities, acting, or the real world works.
I quite like his content but sadly when you make vlog style content on TikTok, those are the main fanbase you end up with.
Exactly
Lmaooo true
Yeah seems like the guy doesn’t actually have talent
😂😂 so true
"Not everyone went to a prestigious university to learn how to act. Some just have rich parents" Danny delivering BARS!
First
@@jpecc8314 first on what??? this comment???
@@madimorie yes
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] Then why are you subbed to him? Also your profile pic is of Gacha so it voids your opinion
i paused the vid, scrolled down, read this comment, went back to the video just as he said what the comment said. is danny narrating my thoughts?
"i assume he had some sort of acting prowess or did some sort of acting before he started applying to acting schools" yeah actually he did not. he had no acting experience at all which makes this whole thing even more bizarre
"But he's cute afff" - his fans probably
I mean he's an above average looking white guy, what more do you need
@@garou9914 pretty privilege is alive and well
It's so obviously a ploy to become famous. He decided to move into the smallest apartment in NYC(which was shown on a bunch of TH-cam channels), then applied to Fucking Julliard without any experience.
It's sort of important to point out that axels family is extremely well off and his sister recently started an influencer marketing company. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if 90% of his tik toks are schticks to become an influencer and to help make his sisters company more credible/ well known in the influencer world.
lots of enthusiastic theater kids manage to take shakespeare seriously, and they aren’t even trying to get into julliard. the fact he gave up on acting after one setback shows he’s not serious or acquainted with reality
acquainted with reality is my new phrase of the week, thanks
Imagine if Juilliard released Axels audition to clap back at the harassment and it was so bad everyone just stopped right there and then 💀
i’d love to see it though lol
they HAVE to do that
OH MY GOD YES
Unfortunately they do not record first-round auditions at Juilliard, and as he did not even get a first callback there would be no footage💔💔 (know this as someone who applied for acting to Juilliard as well)
That would of been hilarious. I'd love to see how bad it was.
the sad thing is that his fans 100% got him blacklisted from any acting college that he had even the slimmest chance of getting into lmao.
Sad? 😆
@@npf6705 what?
dud didn't have a chance of getting into any college. He didn't know what Hamlett was.
@@thealmightyjack no, he had pretty much no chance of getting into an acting college, hence the "slimmest chance" part. he probably could've gotten into a smaller college or something, with some practice, but now I think he's just... fully screwed lmao.
@NPF well if he genuinely wants to act, it is sad
Danny is so funny I can’t
“Thrusted into the spotlight because he was attractive ONCE”
i honestly love how he turns serious topics that NEED to be addressed into funny, critical think-pieces; makes it so fun to watch. i love him 😭
"I'm sure people think he's handsome" such a backhanded compliment lmao
Well I mean attractiveness is subjective
@@madsenproductions1795 yea! for example in my eyes hes not attractive at all! 😊
@@marimationsowo cool…? Again attractiveness is subjective so it’s fine to think that lmao
@@madsenproductions1795 im sorry if i came out agressive…? xD i was tryna agree with you but my tone is off
@@marimationsowo it’s fine lol
Bruh, imagine a college getting slandered for not accepting someone who isn’t qualified.
Can you rally for me bc I didn’t get into Harvard
Lmao… welcome to customer service. People will threaten to report you to corporate for doing your job.
@@averylove4395 I’ll get the torches and pitchfork.
@@socalbarbie1040 LOL. If that’s the level of qualification to be an actor, no wonder Bollywood is gaining traction.
He’s “famous” he should be able to have anything he wants or else
Not gonna lie, seeing Juilliard (aka one of the most prestigious and selective conservatories in the country, possibly the world) reject a tiktok star and a barrage of kids and teenagers pitching a fit over it is… almost hilarious? It’s amazing how TikTok can create such a nice cozy bubble of delusion, and even more amazing how impenetrable that bubble seems to be.
This is exactly why I don’t fuck with TikTok.
you’re acting like he’s a typical egotistical social media influencer lol he’s just a regular dude who made tiktoks about random things in his life and then he blew up after all this. before he auditioned he was just popular for being a poor guy in new york
That ain’t no bubble. It’s a reflective dome that just echos opinions over and over inside
@@glxysurfing read the NYT article about him. This kid’s a clout chaser, pure and simple. The “poor guy in New York” thing is a shtick.
@@glxysurfing that’s not what I said. Whether or not he’s a typical egotistical influencer, he might as well be, considering the way his fans reacted.
i’ve done theatre for 8 years now and axel clearly has no grasp on how auditions work
1) if you can’t do an accent, don’t do it
2) if you don’t understand a piece, don’t do it
3) if you haven’t read the entire play your scene is coming from or don’t intend on reading the entire play, don’t do it
he legit broke all audition no nos
No like fr why the hell would you do a Shakespeare peice to begin with... Not only are they overdone but they're so incredibly hard to do.
@@LetsGaurr424it’s required by julliard to do a Shakespeare piece when u audition btw
The fact that he responds to Charlie Puth’s TikTok like he’s on the phone with him is just another kind of uncomfortable
i know right
I mean I feel like it’d be 10 times worse if he just sat there silently nodding to Charlie puth’s video💀
I was like "sHut UP, I CANT HEAR CHARLIE!!"
It was so frustrating
was axel making fun of him? because i feel like it came off that way, maybe it’s only me though. i feel like it’s kinda a dick move to make fun of someone who’s trying to comfort you genuinely ??
Sorry, I can’t get over Charlie Puth being like “I didn’t get into Juilliard, prestigious schools aren’t going to be what makes or breaks you.” And then immediately saying he went to Berklee. FUCKING BERKLEE. One of the most prestigious music schools out there.
It couldn't be more cringe if he tried. 😂😂😂
Thank you so much I was scrolling through all the comments trying to figure out who the celebrity was 😂
not me thinking he meant uc berkeley LMFAOO i was like .. i mean yeah i guess?
It feels like a joke lmao
@@xMelodyx5 I thought the same exact thing. I never heard of another Berklee except UC Berkeley. I thought he was just talking about the regular California state school
Axel’s attempt at getting accepted into Julliard was basically like trying to get into NASA by cosplaying as an astronaut.
Exactly. You worded it perfectly
While putting on a horribly done accent
Basically
“get into NASA”
Lmfao well said 👏 🤣🤣
“It’s crazy how you can get famous for _not_ doing something impressive.”
Congrats Danny, you just broke TikTok down to its bare essentials 👍

Yes
Huh I've never seen a 13 year old with grey hair before
He aged! He is now 13!

There is one thing acting and modeling have in common: a lot of people will be watching you. In that regard, I think he got all he could ask for.
100% accurate
yeah something tells me he didn't care about jiulliard or the art of acting, he just wanted the fame :/
Also he could still maybe finance some acting lessons, or get to know people in the industry…etc. I’ll give an analogy, imagine you’re an aspiring rapper and you producer your own music. You’re rapping career doesn’t take off but a major music label hires you as a producer because you’re 10x better at producing than you are at rapping. At the end of the day although you didn’t become a rapper you still technically fulfilled your dreams cause producers get PAID and also in this modern day era producers also get recognition. I think that’s a similar analogy to the actor/modelling scenario.
Correct but not. A lot of actors do modeling on the side, in fact many Modern Superhero and Soap opera actors are models. Modeling can really help portray things and is a good practice for acting.
a lot of actors and singers get their start modeling!!! like hunter schafer got her start modeling!

Easy answer: they're children and they don't know any better
@@DocDevious23 btw love ur pfp lmaoo
i literally dont understand the consept. what do they think they achieve with flooding a instagram comment section with "LET AXEL MY CUTE WHITE BOY AW UWU" comments
They don’t care. They talk shit to show support to this random kid. They jump on the bandwagon because harassing people is fun for them.
Even as a non-actor, it’s so obvious to me how much this guy doesn’t understand the industry. What he wants is so obviously mainstream Hollywood stardom, and his approach to that is… Juilliard? With no theater experience??? I bet he just googled “best acting schools” and went with the first result without doing any further research
@star faze yeah so he doesn’t deserve to get into Juilliard
@star faze what
@star faze doing something dumb isn’t less dumb if a lot of people do it
@star faze Yeah you kind of implied it
Probably watched High School Musical and thought "If Troy can get in, I can too"
as someone who has experienced very high-stakes auditions (and been rejected, love you Berklee xoxo), can confirm that they are fairly deadpan throughout the whole thing. if you are at a prestigious audition and you can finish all of the audition materials you've prepared without being told to stop, that's a gift. they have to sit through dozens of auditions, often for several days in a row. they don't give a fuck about you, and I don't really blame them.
I feel that. It’s like they stare into your soul, and then you get totally in your head about every little thing they say and do😅
@@bruinslover2727 this is wild to me, I've never had a comment get more than like 500 likes lol

I was friends with a girl in high school who go into Julliard, and she was insanely talented. Like, more technically singing and music skills than literally any person I've ever met. You (usually) have to be the best of the best, top of your class in your state to get in.
Same a girl I went to hs with went to Julliard, and shes one of the top dancers in the country.
i have a friend of a friend that got into Juilliard but couldn’t go due to cost. they’re insanely talented, like the first thing anyone says when talking about them is how talented they are. they’re fairly famous on tiktok though so that’s cool
@@zippydeedoda who are they in tiktok if you don’t mind me asking?

Good to know
Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like he could've gotten more acting experience and just...reapplied next year if his fans hadn't tried to help him by destroying his relationship with the school forever
they’re like 15 years old _maximum_ you think they have any sense of foresight?
they probably also got him blacklisted from other schools and may have ruined his chances of applying anywhere else now so that's awful
You have to realize that the people on tik tok are probably under the age of 17, and really dumb. The people that were "defending" him probably just thought he was handsome and don't understand how a relationship between someone and a school works

Unironically, pretending to have an accent and then doing the audition without one (aka your normal voice) is low key a genius idea. First off, your audition is that much more impressive since you’re able to completely “hide” your accent AND if and when they find out you don’t actually have an accent they will be mind blown that they were bamboozled by your acting BEFORE the audition even happened.
if i was one of the guys who auditioned people, i wouldn't even consider allowing someone who i suspect doesn't have an american accent onto the property
@@tonyisnotdead Why? I'm confused, lol.
@@tonyisnotdead what 😭 why
@@tonyisnotdead weird
The thing about Juilliard is that they provide classical training to their students, hence the Shakespeare audition. Had Axel applied to a school with a more modern/experimental approach to acting, he might have gotten in, though I'm not sure if his basic acting skills are stellar (as I haven't seen clips of his basic acting skills). Coming from an actor who has witnessed this time and time again, some performers simply aren't suited for Shakespeare. I've seen plenty of talented actors absolutely botch Shakespeare, and I know exactly where Axel went wrong. First, when acting Shakespeare, you must take time to process the text and understand the meaning, especially if the text is new to you or you aren't comfortable with early modern English. Upon his initial reading of the excerpt from Hamlet, you can hear exactly what people do if they aren't comfortable with Shakespeare; they read the rhythm and the rhyme as opposed to the words and the meaning. Second, Axel did not need to do an accent at all. People tend to think that one must perform Shakespeare in a British accent to "remain true to the source," but the issue is that the original British accent that Hamlet was performed in at The Globe is a far cry from a modern British accent. When a seasoned Shakespeare performer or director hears someone put on a modern British accent, it immediately shows that the performer is an amateur. Additionally, I simply don't think that Axel is suited for a theatre career. His sole goal is to become rich and famous as an actor, but this is often not the reality for someone who goes to school for theatre. You don't go to school for theatre because you want to be rich and famous; you do it because you love the craft. When you truly love the craft, you would be happy becoming a high school theatre teacher or a regional actor, even if you had wanted fame. It's certainly not a life for everyone---as it definitely isn't for me, currently a STEM major---and it definitely doesn't seem to be a life for Axel. If he wanted a career in theatre for the love of the craft, he would not have put all of his eggs in one prestigious basket. He would have applied to multiple schools. Instead, I think he just woke up one day and decided he wanted to be a movie star. Maybe he can make it into Addison Rae's next Netflix Original.
Well said.
Very well said! Just as a note, the text is from MSND, not Hamlet, but your point very much still stands, and thank you for sharing your experience!
@@jasonboomgarden4480 THANK YOU! I could have sworn Axel was given one of Puck's monologues, but then Katelyn W said Hamlet, and I started second-guessing myself... thank you for the validation
but more importantly, yes, yes to literally everything else she said in the original comment.
I like your funny words, theatre man
@@jasonboomgarden4480 My mistake. I knew it didn't sound familiar and I thought I heard Axel say it was Hamlet in the video. Haven't read MSND but it's definitely on my list!
So he literally said himself this audition was horrible and people are mad at julliard for not letting him in?? Julliard's acting school accepts a group of 20-30 people, if I remember correctly. So, it's not a crazy thing that he got rejected, with no previous experience, never having read shaakespeare or done any preparation?? Tiktok is so fucking stupid sometimes.

I would feel so embarrassed if I was axel- his followers and supporters are making this situation harder than EVER. Yes, yes, maybe he got a great deal from all the fame and support he got from his followers FOR NOW, but is going to affect him farther in his life. He need some self awareness, tbh he did not deal with the situation appropriately and responsibly (same goes to his followers)
He doesn't seem self-aware enough to be embarrassed, but I'm only going off of what I've seen in this video so idk. But he's definitely self-aware enough to take that modeling contract, acting is not his thing lol

I legit go to Juilliard and it’s been fascinating to see student’s reactions. Some people think it’s hilarious that his army of teens was bombarding Juilliard’s Instagram, and some people were just pissed that he was getting so much notoriety from not getting in and how that diminishes the efforts of those who worked so hard to get in (as Danny says “cute white boy syndrome” that makes him fail upwards).
The bottom line is that he has become a meme at Juilliard, and honestly I’m glad this whole mess happened.
thats sick what are you studying
thats so cool! im proud of you for getting in
Lol I actually prepared a repertoire and everything but I realized I didn't have enough money to even fly there so I gave up. But congrats on your admission, hope you're doing well

It really grinds my gears that people had the energy to harass Juilliard for rejecting their favorite white boy of the week but no energy to actually call out Juilliard for raising their annual tuition to an egregious level DURING A PANDEMIC.

right?? what a king.
Oh I figured he was just saying that cause he's straight lol
No, it's a way of saying he's handsome without saying he's handsome, because he's rather young and a male, and Danny likely doesn't want to get comments if he says, "He's attractive". It's weird that he went to the "privilege" place, because Danny himself is fair-skinned and considered by many of his fans to be handsome. Lots of people like his eyes.

OH NO
the worst thing about axel is that he pretends to be poor to get both clout and sympathy. his parents are rich, he’s been on over a dozen vacations in the last year, and he made a youtube video before he blew up saying that he was living the way he was for the “experience” of being poor. he’s conning his followers into thinking that he’s a rags to riches kid who got a modelling contract on nothing but his charisma. he’s not anything more than a privileged transplant cosplaying poverty to get famous.
Even his idea if being "poor" is delusional. He should try living without heat or ..hot water
That’s just fucked up
"Cosplaying poverty" is a perfect way to describe it! He's just picking and choosing the "fun" or "quirky" parts of being poor without any of the long term effects

I'm pretty sure he's smart enough to know that people dedicated their entire life to get into prestigious school. The fact that he came by with no knowledge of basic Shakespearean, while the fans are riled up as if Juilliard owe him an admission? Come on, what is he and his fans expecting? He definitely knew the outcomes from posting all of these to his audiences. Really made his intention questionable tbh
He probably also knew that his fans would start a backlash opening more realistic opportunities, oh wait you just said that, I was reading and typing, yeah I totally agree.
@star faze ok but I can totally tell people to not do something even though I completely expected them to do the opposite like that is a thing you know
@star faze If he didn't expect to get in, why build up the anticipation & expectations for his fans? There are more effective ways to get his audiences to stop but looks like it doesn't do any wonder
@star faze I always love finding people who defend the undefendable, People like you ALWAYS overlook just the most obvious things, like for real lying is totally a thing people know how to do.
REAL LIFE EXAMPLE: I have one of those pink salt rocks that glow, I looked at my friend and said "DONT LICK THAT" he looks me directly in the eyes, picks up the rock, plays right into my hand and licks it.

I've never seen so many people defend such mediocrity, for lack of a better word.

A huge problem with him is that he’s “acting” the part of a struggling person in New York with a tiny apartment when his parents are extremely well-off and he easily had the choice of living in a nicer apartment or at least furnishing his place with nicer furniture. He’s playing the struggle character pretty well… but not well enough to get into Juilliard lol
that last sentence.. BARS
oh, the burn
OR, or hear me out.. he likes the small apartment.
he’s 100% an industry plant
@@diacarat there are many julliard parents who spent a ton of money on instruments, lessons, tutors etc for their kids to learn the skills they need to get in. That still involves some work on the student/childs part. That is normal and considered the standard for those who do get in. What is privilege is him getting rewarded for nothing. Working for a spot and doing nothing to get one is not the same thing. you can argue that paying for classes and such is a form of privilege but i'd say thats still better than nepotism babies.
What axel doesn’t tell you is that the apartment he lives in while small is in a really expensive part of Manhattan. He comes from money and this all smells like the work of an industry plant. Like how well did everything work out for him huh? Almost like a movie.
and his sister or somebody works in social media
He said it in a interview on the Kelly clarkson show
A movie he'll never be in

@@emmah1161 an industry plant is someone who usually has a major label/management that’s doing everything for them behind the curtains and basically plants them in a secure successful position from the start playing it off as an organic growth. so knowing axel has a wealthy family while he’s playing this ‘poor boy’ persona sounds like acts from an industry plant. weird that he didn’t get accepted into jillard’s since his ‘pretending to be poor for clout’ act got everyone invested
OMFG PLEASE AT 7:38 after Danny read the comment about the dog I GIT A DOORDASH AD 😭😭😭😭😭😭🤚🤚🤚🤚
OMGS THEY KNEW😭
One of my friends attended Juilliard for music and she has been playing violin and viola almost her entire life. Like, literally as soon as she was walking she was playing. She also worked her way up from our state's music conservatories, then another school out of state, THEN Julliard. No offense to Axel but a lot of people dedicate their lives to these arts and deserve that spot at the school. He should have maybe started at another school before going for something so grand 🤷🏻♀️
Congrats to your friend for getting in! And right? There are people who spend their WHOLE LIVES trying to get in and practicing.
This. Honestly, the only way a person really gets in schools like this via talent alone first shot is if they were child prodigies and we're caught early enough to hone that skill. And even then...
He clearly had no idea what Juilliard is intended for, or how hard so many people work to just get an audition and have the experience, and then still don't get in. He never should have applied.
yeah lmao my sister is an opera singer and she has done a ton of competitions and programs and already finished her undergrad and is gonna apply for julliard after a program she is going to do in italy and everyone there is impressive as all hell it’s insane

Yes pull the race card. Everything is all white people's fault right? Because a person who grew up in Communist Ukraine is to blame for the failure of a government. This ideology of yours is just a way to divide an conquer and because you clearly don't see that then you have ALOT to learn.
the worst part about this whole thing is that people are now giving him chances of doing stuff other people worked their whole lives for (modelling) out of pity when all he did was one day come up with the idea that he wanted to go to a prestigious school without ever working for it or putting in the effort. People complain about big tiktokers getting big without 'doing anything' but this one... he did literally nothing. All he did was show his small ass apartment in New York (that he's living in bc he wants to, cause apparently his family is well off and he just likes to exploit that for views I guess) and people started following him
This is the thing for me and I'm surprised that I've seen almost no one else comment about this. When things like this happen all I can think is that it's such a slap in the face to people who do work for it, but still don't get these opportunities.
You know he's going to get other opportunities outside of modeling too. But like there's are tons of people that want to get into modeling, practicing in their bedrooms and stuff, working at it and hoping to get a contract or signed to an agency. And this kid gets one for doing nothing but being popular for being mediocre and he didn't even want it. It's just such a slap in the face to people who actually work for it and still get rejected. The whole thing just sucks so bad from that standpoint to me.
yeah absolutely agree. all he had to do for people to feel like "he deserves more than this and should get literally a once in a lifetime chance" is... get a rejection. once. like... the bare minimum ANYONE who wants to be someone goes through in life. his fanbase acts as if he is so privileged he is above going through these normal phases. just for comparison: J K Rowling got her HP book rejected *12 times* before getting a positive reply. even legends and geniuses went through failures. and yet on the internet whole fanbases live in an imaginary world where this is somehow too sad for people like Axel to go through. like hello?? people who spent THEIR WHOLE LIVES and their every breath doing something to perfection get rejected, and this pissy boy should get everything he wants without so much as faking hard work. hysterical..
Well, there’s a few things going on here. First, life is often unfair. But it’s also the case that even if someone has “worked so hard for an opportunity,” it doesn’t mean that they’re necessarily any good at that thing. Like it or not, this dude has made up this strange hustle and netted millions of followers. People are going to notice someone who’s getting that sort of attention and any business that relies on gaining interest, such as modeling or retail, is going to want the follow-on attention of those four million “fans.”
It may all seem like a fluke and unearned, but if it were as easy as doing nothing at all, everyone would have millions of followers. The truth is that while hard work will often pay off eventually, success in many areas is more of a popularity contest than we might wish. Talent matters a great deal and he didn’t get into Julliard, after all. But looks and charisma matter quite a bit too as do connections and sheer luck.
@@b.w.22 Thing is, he has no charisma at all 😭 idk if you've scrolled through his tiktok, he's appeared in my fyp a couple times and he's got the most bland personality ever, he only got those followers because people kept poking fun at his super small apartment and bc he's a young, blond, 'cute' white boy
@@trixie3850 - Naw, I definitely haven’t checked out anything he’s made. FWIW, I think this dude is about as interesting as an empty paper bag and not nearly as charming. I was speaking more generally about why he might be interesting to some company, but you can just tell he’s had so much handed to him because he’s “cute.”
I haven’t been able to bring myself to mess with tiktok in any way, given how little seems required of the people who get famous on there. I’m sure there are good things about it and good creators, but watching these vanilla ass dummies do some lazy dance or mug and pout at the camera makes me die inside a little. I mean, get what you can and all and obviously these people are meeting with success and all, but it makes me sad that kids these days aspire to be some dancing doof online instead of a fireman, doctor, or astronaut or whatever. Like others have said, it gives these people an unreasonable sense on entitlement, like this guy who though there was any chance he could just BS and wink his way into Julliard just because he was popular on tiktok and people liked him in high school.
Dude it’s kind of embarrassing that mostly teenagers are trying to be like “Julliard is big meanie” Like Julliard doesn’t give a shit about this. They’re an established school lol If anything, this makes Axel look worse. But the part where you talk about the acceptance rates and tips to help get into a hard school, or what to expect if you don’t get into a hard school is good. Go THAT route.
Honestly every school is the same, just some have bigger price tags. It’s like comparing something to a designer brand; there may be some some instances of high quality but they all have the same foundation.
very true. i was stressing so much about wanting to get into a good school like berklee, but after talking about it with my sister who is now a senior in college (majoring in biology) she helped me realize that employers care about your skills and knowledge and not just about where you got it. you could go to a prestigious school but be absolute shit at your major vs going to a normal community college and be one of the best. the label of going to a good school like that helps but in the end it’s all about your skill set.
i also don’t want to spend X amount more money for the same exact curriculum i could get somewhere else for a lot less
@@birdbestie Community college is a good option!!! A lot of people dismiss it, but like you said, jobs don't care where you got the skills just that you have them.

Film acting and stage acting are very different (especially when talking about classical theatre like Shakespeare) It seems to me that Axel is more suited for (if anything) film acting and Juilliard is not the right place for that. He can’t expect to get into a school that he chose because of prestige rather than if it was the best fit for him specifically. The part where he was reading his Shakespearean monologue made me cringe so hard because so much preparation goes into one monologue. Arguably the most important part of any monologue or scene is understanding what your character is saying and why they are saying it. He obviously didn’t know either.

@R What are you getting at?
His conversation with Charlie Puth is so uncomfortable. Charlie can’t get out two words before Axel starts loudly reacting to everything he says like an NPC.
what's hilarious is that this kid, who didn't understand what he was reading, and then threw on a poor accent, THEN ADMITTED THAT HE BLEW THE AUDITION BECAUSE OF IT, had all this publicity about it.
a good part of acting is emotion, or the lack of it in some cases, and how you project it for the character, if you don't understand what you're saying, you can't give the proper feel to it, and so you struggle to bring the character to life through you.
if you can't take something that has been interpreted hundreds of times- like much of Shakespeare has been- and figure it out, you aren't ready for it, and if you do want to be, at least don't go in half cocked and change plans- there's a reason that shows have hours of practice before they're in front of an audience.
he said he put on a british accent
@@rodgersgoat yeah, that was the plan change,
"I've never even opened Hamlet" So you somehow have never read the work of the most famous playwright of all time and you want to be an actor. I'm not saying you have to have even preformed Shakespeare but I feel you may have had to at least read it once. I think this kid had way too much confidence in his ability.
Exactly.
i think its crazy that he really wanted to got acting school, admitted he had no idea what was happening in hamlet (which can be confusing its completely different language than what we speak today) but he cold have like, idk, researched and put even an ounce of effort, like look up what the lines mean and bam youve shown that you've tried at least a little bit
He didn’t even do much acting before his audition. He just thought he would be good at it. He also is apparently from a very rich family so even his like guy making it on his own is a false pretense

Basically, not everyone is going to be honest in the telling of their own narrative. Social media has shown this time and time again.
i wasn't gonna say it but danny mentioned it for me- it is literally the "cute teen white boy effect". if anyone else who had a following on tiktok and wasn't a conventionally attractive white boy they would definitely not get this much attention and support and NEWS ARTICLES about them because they didn't get into a very prestigious school. like it's so stupid but then the same people who were attacking juilliard hate on popular creators as if those people didn't get famous for the same reasons they made axel get popular
white mediocrity gets rewarded a lot, especially on tiktok. on vine, you HAD to be funny (attractiveness was great and all and it def did slip thru the cracks with people like nash grier) but there was still a chillness and exclusivity to it. social media has gotten so out of hand where the most untalented, boring people can just stand in front of their phone (no editing, no skills, no humor required) and get millions of followers as long as they're white and conventionally attractive. it's sad.
exactly
@@xxmakeuplover05xx exactly like i always see videos on tiktok of a white guy that ppl find attractive standing in front of the phone and doing nothing and they get millions of likes?? some of those people aren't even good people but they're still rewarded
@@tsou22 I don’t think it has anything to do with race, there are plenty of teenagers and young adults from all backgrounds who do nothing on tiktok, TH-cam, and Instagram and get millions of followers for it. Kids will just consume anything
@@tsou22 But why do You care so much?
why does danny seem like a better actor than axel himself w/ these little skits in between commentary 💀💀
Bc Danny at least was in a play before
Yeah I’m an actor with 15 years of experience and I didn’t even apply to Juilliard because I knew how hard it would be, I instead chose to go to a smaller school with better resources and connections that fit me as an artist. I wish you had gone through his Backstage profile because you can see he has NO EXPERIENCE. He just wanted to be an actor and decided to shoot his shot at the HARDEST ACTING SCHOOL TO GET INTO. Now I don’t particularly like what Juilliard stands for, a lot of nepotism, privilege, and exclusiveness (opposite of what theatre means to me), but this was just a naive and ignorant choice on his part. He’s an attractive white boy with a ~quirky~ personality and look how much he’s getting rewarded for not putting in the work and effort to actually achieve his goals. The acting world has always been easiest for white men anyway, and he’s already bathing in success. It’s just disappointing.
you put it into words perfectly.
maybe that is why he aimed for that school, gods know rich white men is used to nepotism, privilege, and exclusiveness
I read this comment and thought "yeah this person gets it" and then I saw your pic lmao hi Erin, crazy running into you here
This is EXACTLY how I feel
@@Zubes264 omg Mark NO WAY
one thing that drives me nuts about this guy is that he barely put any effort into his career. people work their whole lives to audition for schools like juilliard only to get rejected. and this guy auditions on a whim and gets a modeling contract and fame??? bs
Was reading this comment and just about to shout out your After Laughter pfp when that clip of Hard Times started playing O.o
Fr! how are his fans NOT acknowledging this?
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] you don’t even have content
Bc he is white and cute
I don't think it was on a whim. I followed him for a while and he explained that the reason he moved to New York was to pursue his acting and audition for julliard. I don't disagree that he barely put effort because he definitely doesn't put any effort at all.
I just don’t understand how he has “fans”. Like what does he do that people are fans of him? He literally does nothing lol
just talks about how small his apartment is thats his life personality lol
I like how optimistic he is
Didn’t you hear Danny? He did his little dancey dance
@@xraytooth “cosplaying as a poor person” you literally have no idea about his financials . Can y’all stop attacking someone just because their parents were middle class 😭
@@kyliep.4858 he’s admitted his family is well off and that his parents pay for everything

I never thought I could get this uncomfortable while watching a video
Let's be honest here, Axel is only getting support because he's a semi-attractive, charismatic, white guy 😐
hes not attractive tbh
White man bad
@@nicholas6081 yes
@@teensithlord the hair. I'm 36 and out of touch but THAT HAIR. What is it??
@@ThisPugLife THANK YOU. It's like a very high bowl cut that he keeps constantly messy.
The thing I don't understand is he himself admitted that his audition went bad, then again he's kinda enjoying how fans did all these drama's for him to get him into juilliard. Hypocrisy enough?
yeah, honestly the more he talked the more he dug his own grave in revealing just how little business he had even auditioning for that school. you need to have some kind of god complex to think you can have no experience and still get in
No mystery there. He seems to want fame rather than the craft itself. His lack of seriousness probably came across strongly during the audition as well.
I don't understand why he gave up on acting so easily tho why I say that because he wants to be an actor but all of a sudden he excited because he's a model and no word on acting or if he will try again it confused me
@@slasherfox5907 a lot of arts students and aspirants often give up and settle with normal careers, or just go wherever there are opportunities. I myself went to music school aspiring to be a pianist I even prepared a repertoire for auditioning at Juilliard but I soon realized I barely had enough money to buy a plane ticket lol. I'm doing an MBA now, and I'll probably get into human resource management or IT. Interests change very easily, especially when you're young
I’ve no idea who that is and I don’t care, but I’m sure you’ll tell me in the most amusing way imaginable.
Same lmao
same lol
literally the best way of summing up half of the people here. props to you
Exactly!
@@imbored2565 same lol
I assist with a summer Shakespeare camp for kids 12+ every summer, and honestly the 15ish-year-old girl who played Puck this summer did 1000% better on that monologue than Axel.
I know in that clip he was still in the early stages of practicing, but it was pretty lackluster.
Shakespeare can be difficult to understand, yes, but there’s all sorts of resources available online or at the public library to help you a given play better. I’ve seen 12-year-olds understand Shakespeare well enough to perform it, and even small children in the audience can laugh at some of the sillier jokes.
I went to an arts high school (think victorious but we had like math class too). I was in the theatre department. Most ppl wanted to audition for Juilliard to the point where a required class senior year was basically just training for their audition process. None of them got in and they worked so extremely hard. It’s frustrating to see this one guy who seemed to put in zero effort be like “guysssss I didn’t get innnn :(“ and get so much out of it.
I went to an arts high school as well. Victorious but we had a math class is how I will now be describing it
He put in a literal drop of effort and got an ocean of support, meanwhile people will put an ocean of effort and get a drop of support.
Almost likes he's got "cute white boy" privilege...
@@THEmermaidghost i'm gonna be pissed for the rest of my life that I went to a normal high school
@@gayjayy Oh, hey Jayy!
Acting major here! The idea of auditioning for a BFA acting program (at any school but especially a place like Juilliard) and spontaneously doing an accent on one of your pieces, reciting Shakespeare without understanding the meaning, and then expecting the auditor to smile or give some indication that they liked it is INSANE. What did this man think was gonna happen?? And then all his fans felt like he was CHEATED??
All the relatives used to clap when he did his little skits every thanksgiving so
Hope your whole shit’s going well :)
@@Lucifersfursonayeah, his mom said he would be the next Marlon Brando!!! Justice for whoever this little white boy is, I don’t remember his name. (I’m joking btw)

@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] for the love of god get over yourself, stop trolling, and touch grass PLEASE.
@@gilbertbeilschmidt4129 it's a bot, just report it for spam.
@@devent10n y' know it, just wanted to insult them as well.
him saying he doesn't understand Shakespeare made me wonder why he was trying to get in don't they do those kind of plays and study those kind of writings
the fact that he auditioned without knowing any Shakespeare is crazy like....as a drama student they shove Shakespeare down your throat any chance they get
And then he read something saying Oberon… which isn’t from Hamlet if I’m correct.
Especially the fact he said he literally didn’t know what he was saying like you’re not even gonna look up a translation then? Idk how you expect to give a convincing performance of you don’t know what you’re performing.
@@bridgetspector6703 I don’t have any acting experience, dont understand the material and I’m applying to one of the most competitive art schools in the world. What could go wrong?
@@bridgetspector6703 Exactly! He seems like a nice guy but to me it seems like he likes the idea of being an actor rather than having any passion for acting itself. And honestly that’s completely fine! But why would a prestigious performing arts school choose you over someone who is passionate about acting and willing to put in that work?
heck, shakespeare is half of the english curriculum in highschools, i'm not remotely near the acting field and i've had to read them
the worst part of this whole situation is that he has been cosplaying as a "real" new yorker by trying to get sympathy points for having a small apartment and buying food from a street vendor... but his family is wealthy and he can probably go back whenever he likes! there are plenty of people who are stuck in poverty without a choice and he made it his aesthetic to get tiktok famous.
He said in an interview that his apartment is expensive and costs a lot. He never lied about being rich.
