Obviously I knew our girl who sang covers in her bathroom was going to reach these crazy heights but now that it's happening it doesn't feel real. Congratulations Rachel! The OG TH-cam fans are so proud.
feels like such a proud bestie moment. we got to know her on such a personal level on youtube and now watching her shine in the media is so mind boggling. i can’t help but feel so proud of her.
She comes across as insufferable. This is a personality type that makes sense if you are a 40-50 year old George Clooney who has amassed a fan base and engrained yourself as a sex symbol and persona that the majority of the country is aware of the journey of. Then these tidbits and stories are funny. When you are speaking like you have lived an entire life and you are like 19, anyone with a brain knows you are either totally faking it or have succumbed completely to the worst kinds of narcissism that teenage years can produce. It’s just revolting IMO. No, you don’t have to act like a kid, but don’t come across as a total tool either like Zegler tends to. The stupid looks she gives interviewers, the over-indulgence in pronouncing Spanish words with a Spanish accent (your speaking them to an American audience. We get it? Your Latina), and the endless line “this isn’t the ___ you remember” (which she inserts for every character she plays apparently). Good lord. Self absorption overload. Earn it first at least. 😅🤮🤮🤮
@@alexmason8557 😂open a book or google, i shouldn’t have to explain it but White people CANT experience racism: "White people can indeed face stereotypical assumptions based on their skin colour and hence encounter racial prejudice. But this cannot be called racism, because of the inherent systemic imbalance of power between those with lighter skin colour and people of colour. White people have never suffered simply cuz their skin is white, on the contrary being white in America has always given you privilege.. something nobody non-white has ever experienced….. you not acknowledging your privilege makes you racist so there is no point in trying to make you understand cuz you won’t 😂 cuz you don’t want to. stop crying and acting like a like a victim cuz Rachel told you the truth a few times… a victim you are not 😉
I hope Steven doesn't kick Rachel to the curb anytime soon. Everyone remembers the time when Steven Spielberg kicked Shia LaBeouf to the curb after he publicly apologized for giving people the misguided assumption that Mutt Williams was going to take over Indiana Jones' adventures at the end of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull during an interview at the Cannes Film Festival in May, 2010. Shia had this to say about the movie: “I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished, you get to monkey-swinging and things like that and you can blame it on the writer and you can blame it on Steven. But the actor's job is to make it come alive and make it work, and I couldn't do it. So that's my fault. Simple. I think the audience is pretty intelligent. I think they know when you've made and I think if you don't acknowledge it, then why do they trust you the next time you're promoting a movie. Harrison Ford and I had major discussions. He wasn't happy with it either. Look, the movie could have been updated. There was a reason it wasn't universally accepted. We need to be able to satiate the appetite, I think we just misinterpreted what we were trying to satiate. I'll probably get a call. But he needs to hear this. I love him. I love Steven. I have a relationship with Steven that supersedes our business work. And believe me, I talk to him often enough to know that I'm not out of line. And I would never disrespect the man. I think he's a genius, and he's given me my whole life. He's done so much great work that there's no need for him to feel vulnerable about one film. But when you drop the ball you drop the ball." The fact that Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon earned $1.236 billion dollars worldwide one year later didn't change Steven's opinion on Shia. I'm angry that Steven never offered Shia an apology for failing to appreciate his honesty.
@@Hectorferjr2 Didn't he kick Shia to the curb after Shia badmouthed him behind his back? Also I know for certain you've posted this exact same comment usually whenever other people mention Zegler and Spielberg lol
i feel like a proud mom i’ve been watching her on youtube forever🥺she deserves this so much omggg i’m so excited and happy for her. literally the most talented person
I still remember freaking out when I saw the girl whose covers I'd loved went viral for singing 'Shallow' - everything she does makes me feel like a proud little sister! Love you Rachel, keep on being amazing
Seeing her come so far makes me feel like a proud mom even though i dont know her. Seeing her grow on youtube to the big screen has been amazing and i cant wait for more to come from her. And knowing she got to perform in front of Sondheim, even if it was just during recording, must feel like an honor.
I just saw the movie and her voice is fantastic ! At just 20 being able to do that… wow ! I hope she’ll have a beautiful career and that she’ll continue to mesmerize us with her voice and acting.
She has a beautiful singing voice but the way she speaks and presents herself looks like she's still crafting an artform and I'm going to watch the interview because it's so entrancing to watch.
To those who are bothered by the fact that a minor was cast as Maria let me just say I'm sure Stephen Spielberg was careful - Zegler turned 18 a few months after she was cast and I'm sure the spiciest scenes were not filmed til after the fact.
Rachel, you are so articulate and eloquent! Wow, that was a fantastic interview. You are so intelligent. I am going to watch the film a second time in the theater. I love your videos on TH-cam!
I've been a fan of Rachel's since she started doing covers on here about 3 years ago.. I'm so excited of her future, she deserves this success so much and I can't wait to see what else is in store for her :)
Rachel Zegler is the new Lea Michele!!!! However beautiful, humble, kind, and a heart of gold. Even better. If Glee came out today, she would have made a great Rachel Berry. Her talent and determination is spectacular.
I hope Steven doesn't kick Rachel to the curb anytime soon.

Loved Rachel in the movie. Now someone please cast her in a comedy about AOC as this real life nut case who issues "holier than thou" silly statements that would make a really good parody movie. Her name could be changed to fictionalize but her jokes are already spoken for real
@@jordankent3701 they said she beat out 30,000 actresses for the part in “West Side Story.” No one, in the history of film, has ever auditioned 30,000 actresses for a part. Even if you had them send in tapes, and watched them all, that would take 7,500 days if you worked 24 days non-stop. They would not even look at 30,000 resumes.
Well, in your calculations you also assume that only one person was watching the videos. Even if they didn’t even watch half of the videos out there, the casting director announced they had over 30,000 audition tapes for Maria. I don’t think that’s a publicity stunt.
she's answering the questions straight-forwardly, she just happens to have been cast in a steve spielberg movie. i don't think there's any way you could repeat "i was cast in a steve spielberg movie" that doesn't sound like a brag
I don't know why!!! but i don't like her at all, she doesn't look like humble person to me 😬 and by they way can she even speak spanish? Or anyone un that cast besides rita Moreno?
Obviously I knew our girl who sang covers in her bathroom was going to reach these crazy heights but now that it's happening it doesn't feel real. Congratulations Rachel! The OG TH-cam fans are so proud.
Yes omg! I remember discovering her covers in 6th grade and I'm in 10th now....time flies !

for sure. Its so crazy. I've never been so proud of someone I've never met lol
she said she was good at interviews in her last youtube video but i didn’t expect her to be this good omg so well spoken
ikr
She’s very smart, pretty sure she was salutatorian of her high school.

She’s so talented, so well-spoken, so kind and beautiful. There is no one else I can think of being more deserving of this opportunity and success
And only 20 yrs old (and 17 when the audition process started). Very cool to watch this star being born before our eyes. She is amazing.
Not the appeal I get from her Twitter.
@@alexmason8557 nothing wrong with her on twitter. the only people she has upset are trump supporters, weirdos and antivaxers 😂 so which are you
@@MmDisney200 I guess being racist is okay if it's against whites.

I never heard of her before this movie. But she’s amazing!! So articulate, too, as people are saying.

Rachel Zegler is such an amazing and talented actress and singer
Getting to text Steven Spielberg with life updates and for advice must be like the coolest thing ever
one day she's going to be a MASSIVE household name and people will come back to these videos and remember her breakout role
Her first 3 film credits will be so big. She's very lucky.
Likely 3 record flops for such a powerful lady
Seeing her come so far makes me feel like a proud mom even though i dont know her. Seeing her grow on youtube to the big screen has been amazing and i cant wait for more to come from her.

She’s got a great personality! Spielberg got lucky with her! I’m glad they got a great relationship. Psyched to see her in the movie!
Just saw West Side Story yesterday. It's such a beautiful movie. I'd highly recommend it!
She seems so down to earth and beautiful on the inside
Yikes, this didn't age well at all 😆
she’s so talented and well-spoken, i’m so proud of her

She is talented and I'm pretty excited to see her as Snow White
An amazing interview, thanks for sharing! Can't wait to see the film!
Rachel is a star, so excited for her!
She's so pretty
she is so incredibly well spoken
What a beautiful talented great new STAR! Welcome to the cinema Rachel! Luv ya :)
She’s a beautiful and so talented! Looking forward to seeing this remake movie!

She was as perfect in the movie as she was in this interview. People, go see the movie!! It’s wonderful.
She is amazing . She acts very mature for a 17 year old.
By far, the most mature, warm and wise person on this set.
She's AMAZING at doing interviews
The sound of the mics rubbing against clothes was awful. Thank goodness for that mic switch
So proud of her
Rachel, you are so articulate and eloquent! Wow, that was a fantastic interview. You are so intelligent. I am going to watch the film a second time in the theater. I love your videos on TH-cam!
Leave it to Spielberg to flex about having produced Shrek in regards to a high school musical 😂
I've been a fan of Rachel's since she started doing covers on here about 3 years ago.. I'm so excited of her future, she deserves this success so much and I can't wait to see what else is in store for her :)
Saw film. It’s great.
Nomination for Rachel.
For sure.
I hope they make a part two of what happens to Maria after ❤️
Great interview. Miss Rachel, you have many more great roles to play. Wishing you much success!!!!!!!
can't believe we used to watch her covering lana and taylor songs on her channel to this!
She is a diamond shining bright in the sky.
How old is Rachel? Wow such eloquence from such a young soul!
Can't wait for this film!
1:40 lmaoo so good

Same demeanor as Amber Heard, terrible
Fake people… There’s no worse type of person on this Earth.
Someone grins at you with the disingenuousness that Zegler does, calm en out.
Beat out 30,000 other actors. Yeah, right. What a nice publicity stunt. I guess, technically, when you get a role you beat out everyone on earth.
