Judith Light is stabbing into the depths of the human soul with her questions and then Ben is fully prepared to answer, it's like watching a game of philosophical tennis.
Odd, Oliver there goes one direction, I'm more, my God she's going to give him a Panic attack. *made me uncomfortable, I tapped out. (Damn he's so....my new crush.)
@@oliverhernandez5806 No way! This is Judith Light, an icon, and you can see how genuinely impressed she is with the talent that is Ben Platt! And he's so humble! Like sure, he can admit he has the skill to back up his career choices. But this is so obviously two incredible artists talking about their art and the respect they have for one another is a wonderful thing to see.
@@oliverhernandez5806 they’re both incredibly talented. That’s simply a fact. They know that they are talented, and yet they manage to not be big-headed about it. They are not “filled with smoke” they are filled with actual talent.
things that make ben platt an amazing human being: he is 100% himself all the time and treats just everyone with so much kindness... he freaking used the right pronouns for sam smith 👏
Ben Platt seems to have achieved all of the authenticity and endearing qualities that I hope to embody. He has so much wisdom to share from his experiences already at the age of 26. As a gay man and an aspiring artist I don't think I could have a better idol to look up to. Judith Light was also just so wonderful. Can she be my grandmother please? 😂
There are more talented people than B Platt. Although he is good singer and decent actor, B Platt is there thanks to his father position in Broadway and Hollywood.
@@axsos Have you heard this guy sing? He’s where he is because he’s talented. His father obviously played a role in where he is, but not in the way you’re making it sounds like he did. Of course there are more talented people. There is always someone more talented than someone else. But that doesn’t take away from B. Platt’s own talent.
@@sageswann7162 you are entitled to your own opinion. Mine doesn't change regarding the fact Ben Platt wouldn't be there, if his father wasn't working in Broadway.
As long as Ben can sing loud and proud, musical theater will never die. His voice is heaven sent and such a phenomenal human being. I adore him. You rock Mr. Platt
Ok this is the interview that finally settles all my intense and overwhelming feelings about this incredible human being that is capable of touching so deeply our humanity with his performances, of writing songs that speak to our hearts, with a voice that sweetens the human experience and with a charm that just really makes you question the universe how could this unicorn exist. But this interview is the answer, he is what he is because he has what it takes, and he has the courage to be what he’s meant to be, and he just accepts the challenges and stays true to his heart. He struggles like everybody else, but he has a drive and a wisdom that take him to the well deserved place where he is now. Thank God for Ben and thank Judith for this magical interview. I’m so happy to have watched this lol
If you’ve ever wondered if Ben has been told how special he is in a sincere and personal way, now you know he has. Thank you for telling Ben everything we want him to know about how we treasure him, Judith!!
"There were only 5 or 6 of us who were out so we just sort of rotated" -- Nice to hear that Ben got a direct experience of Permutations and Combinations from Algebra II in High School.
Ben I fucking love you, you are so down to earth and as Judith said you have been gifted with sth special thats why you are such a gift to everyone. I'm having some problems rigth now and listenning your album Ben has helped me a lot. I hope one day I will have the opportunity to be at one of your live concerts.
The part where they talked about being your unique, truest self is so inspiring. I feel like I’ve gained more insights into my life watching this than ever. Also, just as I thought I couldn’t love Ben more...
Clicked only because I have admired Judith Light since "One Life to Live"...(old, huh?), and I did not know the name, Ben Platt. Now I have another "Favorite Person". He's special!!!!!
How insightful an interview...So thankful for being the more human to Ben than anything else so far. You always raise the hair at the back of my neck. Mrs.Light has the charm of Melina Mercuri.
I want the biopic of Simon & Garfunkel starring Ben Platt as Paul Simon and Jonathan Groff as Art Garfunkel , directed and written by the Coen brothers.But if the movie is not possible then I want a miniseries written and directed by Ryan Murphy.
All the planets aligned for this beautiful star to shine. Since Adele I haven't been so starstruck. There's hope for humanity if our species can come up with someone like this
This sounds kinda weird but he just gives off this like.. home-y vibe. Like it just feels like it would feel so comfortable and warm to be around him lol
I am a fan of Ben Platt: I think the guy is very talented! I would like to ask Ben what he thinks of people in the US who treats him as if he were a deity or a god like super human? It is so interesting the tendency of millions of Americans to treat celebrities as if they were deities! They just go overboard with a kind of infatuation that is just too much!
Actor does not equal interviewer. They are two different skill sets. Love Judith Light, but I gave up when 3 minutes when she didn't ask a question yet
He needs to pull back from the spotlight for awhile now, no more interviews, press, self fulfilling TH-cam videos of himself singing, too much , ongoing since Dear Evan, people are fickle, they will turn on him, watch.
liking girls before 12 as a girland being friends predominantly with girls before puberty. did not have guy friends actually except for cousins but physical attraction at 12 is a bit earlier and actually means is mastrubation started so what was experience in early childhood with other boys cause with girls is early in society we have boys are safe these activity start and do not go noticed. being friends is different than actually cultivating the experience repeatedly that pleasure becomes associated with action so it is a frame
i only believe in later in life people making choice actually people do not talk about managing finance is important part of education we talk sex education when many couple have expectation bread winning many people even get married cause one person say i win bread the other say i do ot have to go to the office aka corp etc
"Ben is a unicorn, we can't believe that he exist, but we are so lucky that he does" I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE AGREE TO SOMETHING IN MY LIFE
@I have Problems i mean how and when can i join???????? Sounds like the best religion eveeeer
What makes hom a unicorn? Can't we all be one?

@@mustlovebooknerd i disagree. it looks like a conversation between two people who have been filled with more smoke than is healthy up their rears.

thisismaria27 who’s Sam smith?
@@thisisme5911 Sam Smith is a singer who came out as nonbinary sort of recently. I recommend checking out their music, they are very talented

you are so right 👉
Omg you said everything exactly right lol, honestly just seeing everything he does makes me so happy
Judith Light is so amazing!! Love her! And Ben too 😃
We must protect Ben Platt at all costs.
Protect him from what or who? From Donald Trump?
Judith Light and Ben Platt in the same room? HOW did this place not explode?!
If you’ve ever wondered if Ben has been told how special he is in a sincere and personal way, now you know he has. Thank you for telling Ben everything we want him to know about how we treasure him, Judith!!
This is my favorite interview hands down
This interview is a blessing! Can’t believe there’s someone out there as precious as Ben.
Ben Platt seems like the purest person in the world! Having so much talent and being so humble he is truest amazing!!!

All I need before I die is a hug from Ben I stg
1:14:24 Judith Light is literally ready to be Ben’s fairy godmother/matchmaker and set him up with the love of his life.
The part where they talked about being your unique, truest self is so inspiring. I feel like I’ve gained more insights into my life watching this than ever.
Also, just as I thought I couldn’t love Ben more...
As a gay Jew growing up in Los Angeles with another gay sibling that also really loves movies and musicals... I really relate to Ben Platt.
you are ben platt in an alternate universe i am convinved
Clicked only because I have admired Judith Light since "One Life to Live"...(old, huh?), and I did not know the name, Ben Platt. Now I have another "Favorite Person". He's special!!!!!
“I didn’t know what my tribe was”
Wow!
A genuine guy that feels every word when he sings. Such a pure sound
geez. I would not know who to choose If these people were actually against each other for president. these are such beautiful people.
He is what a mensch is --- the opposite of a jerk. May his tribe increase.
Funnily enough mensch in german just means human
How insightful an interview...So thankful for being the more human to Ben than anything else so far.
You always raise the hair at the back of my neck.
Mrs.Light has the charm of Melina Mercuri.
I love watching this series but the volume is so low!!!
Such a relaxed, open and great conversation. As if I couldn't adore and be a bigger fan of Ben Platt's ❣️
I want the biopic of Simon & Garfunkel starring Ben Platt as Paul Simon and Jonathan Groff as Art Garfunkel , directed and written by the Coen brothers.But if the movie is not possible then I want a miniseries written and directed by Ryan Murphy.
Y E S.
*“We have Greta.”*
AKAHISHS
why is he so cute
He's so cute!!
If I could marry him I most certainly would!! So Ben Platt will you marry me?
You simply came out of nowhere that’s what you mean to me thanks you are pure joy to listen to and here sing 😉❤️🇬🇧
All the planets aligned for this beautiful star to shine. Since Adele I haven't been so starstruck. There's hope for humanity if our species can come up with someone like this
Ben please do more interviews like this!
This sounds kinda weird but he just gives off this like.. home-y vibe. Like it just feels like it would feel so comfortable and warm to be around him lol
I am a fan of Ben Platt: I think the guy is very talented! I would like to ask Ben what he thinks of people in the US who treats him as if he were a deity or a god like super human?

Such a great interview with Ben Platt!
Love you Ben!
This was EVERYTHING. Loved every minute. What a wonderful conversation.
I cried through watching this whole video.
really, why?
Oh really: why did you cry sweetheart?
They are both so awesome!
I'm so excited to watch this!!! Thanks for always uploading these interviews
Its like watching his life documentary ❤
I really, really hope Ben knows exactly how gorgeous he sounds; I loved watching his face while he was listening to himself sing “ease my mind” :)
ben platt IS IN FACT: a unicorn. OUR unicorn
I LOOOOOVE DEDE STANDISH
Ben. You are amazing. I so much enjoyed The Politician. Great singer great actor. Very funny. Don’t even get me started on the amazing Judith Light.
I guess I am the only one who doesn't know who the guy is. I'm here for my girl Judith!!! :)
This was amazing. Thank you.
I love how Jewish he is!!
only four dislikes this man is amazing
I feel like I had a Jewish homecoming while watching this
me too
Oh. I came here hoping Judith Light was the interviewee.
I did too haha!!!! Judith stay working.
this live was sm better😅😅😅
lovely woman
Who else here is an Anxious Jew™?
I see, if anyone answers that they are an Anxious Jew you'll sue them as you clearly have it trademarked. Clever.
@@eoincampbell1584 it's my way to finally fit the rich stereotype
As a gay Jew I really relate to Ben Platt.
I've found my people lol
Judith is such a supporter of the gay community. Watching her in "One Life To Live" on ABC back in the early 80's.
You cannot talk out this woman you know Ben)
His voice has a Kenny Loggins quality about it.
1:14:21
Ben loves a red bottom.
Actor does not equal interviewer. They are two different skill sets. Love Judith Light, but I gave up when 3 minutes when she didn't ask a question yet
Then you missed an excellent interview/conversation.
You really missed out on an excellent conversation and she did asked him questions, many deep questions
If he likes almost 18 year - old guys, I'm waiting in Spain 😂👍❤️
He needs to pull back from the spotlight for awhile now, no more interviews, press, self fulfilling TH-cam videos of himself singing, too much , ongoing since Dear Evan, people are fickle, they will turn on him, watch.
I don't understand what you're saying
liking girls before 12 as a girland being friends predominantly with girls before puberty. did not have guy friends actually except for cousins
but physical attraction at 12 is a bit earlier and actually means is mastrubation started so what was experience in early childhood with other boys cause with girls is early in society we have boys are safe these activity start and do not go noticed.
being friends is different than actually cultivating the experience repeatedly that pleasure becomes associated with action so it is a frame
i only believe in later in life people making choice
actually people do not talk about managing finance is important part of education we talk sex education when many couple have expectation bread winning
many people even get married cause one person say i win bread the other say i do ot have to go to the office aka corp etc
Why is he wearing capri pants?
Because why not
aquarius70 Because he's a legend and can do whatever tf he likes.
Yishai Thau best response to a comment ever!
judith light listening to herself stroke his ego is super creepy
