She's a super actress. And here is the proof that children who don't always fit in at school become the most interesting adults.
I adore how she is open about her experiences in childhood, Juilliard, and life in general. You don’t need to be just an actor in order to relate with her and her experience, and I must suggest everyone here to read her articles in “Lenny Letter”. She is such an inspiration and role model with her genuine presence and intelligence.
Hey! Just read her two articles on Lenny Letter. Thank you so much for suggesting this. I absolutely loved the one titled 'I couldn't have enough monthers'. I love how honest she is.
Totally empathize with her history and philosophy
Gillian Jacobs a fantastic performer. Seeing her in real life, it’s uncanny how similar she is to Britta Perry- she was isolated from her peers, but she remains confident in herself
She was one of my children’s best friends when they were young. She fit in perfectly with our family. We were a large family of homeschoolers and had all the same interests. She was a joy to have around and I am so happy for her success! Her mom is an awesome person too!
Netflix "Love" was the first time I became aware of Gillian as Mickey.
She was awesome in that.
Started watching Community afterwards.
Both great shows!
@@UncleEbenezer77Yeah, and both completely different characters. It was funny going from Mickey to Britta.
I think I liked all of Mickey's flaws Idk why lol
@@dcool2u2 Gillian is quite versatile. She was in a film called Life Partners where she was quite a prude, much different from Mickey and Britta. She's got great comedic timing and I hope she becomes more recognized for her abilities. On that note, I'd hoped 'Birtie' would've gotten a Love spinoff -- she was hysterical!
@@UncleEbenezer77 Omg yes!! Birdie was hilarious!! Such a sweetheart!
I wish they would actually do another season but didn't sound like Judd Apatow was into it. The "arc" was only written for three seasons.
@@dcool2u2 I was slightly disappointed with S3 but really happy with how they wrapped it up. Maybe there'll be a reunion one-off down the road; to see where all the characters are now.
I just checked Gillian's IMDB page and she's got a lot going on, including a cpl horror/suspense films. She's come a long way since "baggles" ;)
can relate. I was loner at school too. middle school...high school...even university. acting was my form of escapism
I also have always felt different and apart from. Finding your people is important and often difficult/scary. It was great that her mom helped her find that, and as a result the world now has a beautiful and talented actress. Props.
What a sweet, authentic woman. 🙏
I am an only child as well, and it's eerie how similar my childhood was to Gillian's (except the acting part)...
she's a wonderful actress, and I wish her continued success!
I know; as an only child I also feel like I relate to her so much. Even her niche experiences at school are literally what happened to me too
Absolutely love her
I like how she played Britta on Community. So cool. That is awesome TV show by the way!
Watching community for the 2nd time right now. I got a serious crush on her!
Loners are the best, especially disgruntled ones.
What an awesome lady
I'm here because of her crosswords obsession and it was so wholesome.
Always such a great actor and always has the coolest parts.
Hell yea she’s a voice actor in this. Dope superhero show called invincible should watch it’s insane
She's so dope
A loner. A rebel.

We should all aspire to be as comfortable with our selves as Gillian Jacobs is.
she is basically manny from modern family
love them both
When you are a child and you don't have friends in school it feels like the world is ending, because you spend most of your time in school. You feel like everyone is staring at you and you are basically a failure. It's trippy growing up and realizing that lots of people had that experience. Wish I would have known that as a child. I felt like a failure of a person.
Talented, smart, gorgeous, unpretentious - I can learn to like her.
Oh, Britta's in this?
I really wish they had cast her as Lucille Ball, she has the acting ability, the complete humor, I think she'd nail the part.
She's good in I Used To Go Here, though she just gives up and makes random goofy expressions in the background in Life of The Party.
I could have said the same thing as she did. An only child, a loner, who mixed better and easier with adults than children of my own age...etc
Yeah I can relate
Gillian has something in common with Taylor Tomlinson, who has a routine about children who get called "old souls".
Wow, totally emphatize with all she said
Love her
Britta, the needlessly defiant.
Im completely in love with this gal
She even Britta-ed her childhood.
The ad before this was anti-vaping while I'm smoking a Juul. A week ago, an ad about constipation while I was on the toilet. Is the FBI watching me through my computer?
Not the FBI, Google.
Maybe the FBI, too. I don’t know your search history as well as Google does.
Not the FBi it's the NSA. lol
Yes, but the ads are just coincidences.
Now if i got an add about diarrhea while i'm eating my lunch, i'm really gonna be scared. Google: " according to your recent food order, you are about to experience a massive eruption"
Aw this is so sad it reminds me of a girl I tried to be nice to although I was a bitch to her at times but I definitely tried to include people more than other kids
Wow
Is that micheal jackson
i hope they still make women like her she's a wife and best friend material good lord
Bad news: They don't. Sad but true.
It's interesting that she didn't know anything about pop culture, movie or music because being the oldest of my siblings, I didn't learn any of that from my younger brothers. I learned nearly all of that info from radio and TV.
Same here except i had older sisters and I had to learn tv shows movies and music all by myself.
Oh, poor Gillian Jacobs.
O was da same
Imagine saying: I was too clever and cultured to interact with children my own age.
with the dumbasses i grew up with i believe her
It would have been crazy if she had said that
The headline should've been 'gillian jacobs - a role model for generations to come'
How disrespectful to clickbait this awesome personality with an offensive line. I hate this kind of Journalists. Always puting the thumb in the wound for succes. Terrible humans leading to destruction.
Wow, this got out of hand quickly. But i stand by it
Hes so bad lol
Aw boi poor Jacobs !!! Good for her that she now has made the name on her being defiant. But aaa... Who can blame those kids who cut her off from the crowd cuz being unpopular can be transmitted disease Y’know ? It’s one of the rules on the street that gotten made into flicks numerous time !!!
Headline: I grew up a loner. Reality: Loner only until third grade. Then went to acting school and had lots of friends. Sorry but that doesnt qualify you as a loner. More like someone wanting to adopt the persona of a misfit without actually being one.
First of all, headline is put by the channel and she is already talking about the part of her life before getting into acting. If you are actually interested in her life afterwards the 3rd grade you could always search about it in the google and see how much of a strong person she is thanks to her role models and experiences.
So bitter
Strange gatekeeping.
@@mmyilmazyurt no, she tells this exact same story everywhere, it’s not just this headline
@@eleo_b So what? I dont understand. It does not change what she says as if you watched her other interviews, you know it didnt get easier later either. There is a Juiliard part in her life as well which sounds exhausting. All in all, she seems to have a family kind of relationship in her late 20s with Community.
