Nick Robinson is hot and attractive. I can’t take my eyes off him.
Nick just saying "yes queen" at the end is a constant mood
god me too
@Jarred Knox it's a joke
@Jarred Knox calm down bro
"I don't need to see a teenage girl in lingerie!" Cough cough Riverdale cough cough
William Gowling ugh Riverdale is so terrible for that. Just awful
That’s exactly what I was thinking
Riverdale in general is awful already.
William Gowling Riverdale is like OC California with these rich kids... not relatable at all. And i didn't even finish the first season because it had such lame storytelling, i asked myself after 7(?) episodes: What is this show about? I didn't have a clue honestly.
but that was the point of Love, Simon. A kid who has everything can still struggle with their sexuality. I haven't seen Riverdale, but from what I heard, that wasn't the message of that show
"yas queen" lol he knows
Katherine and Alexandra are so intelligent and I love how they thoroughly discuss these issues ❤️
The American accent is taking over Katherine’s Australian accent
avatar lover22 i thought i was the only one who realized that😂
Katherine’s accent goes in and out, it’s so cool to listen to
“I don’t need to see someone who’s supposed to be in highschool in lingerie” uhm, shading to riverdale? I kinda agree tho
This whole interview was excellent
Nick robinson is a very good looking young man
Mikeyj Maher yeah he is 😍
Understatement of 2018
Ikr, i wouldve never guessed he was 22, he looks so much like a teenager! And hes an amazing actor too! Honestly, this movie was so compelling! It touched me so hardddd! The feels 💗🙌🏻
Yea ♥️😅 but not gay :( I gonna die... 😂😅😭
Leon Langer OMG TOO BAHAHAHAHAHA
Nick Robinson, be still my heart. Those lips, that smile.
The girls’ highlight is giving me LIFE
Gosh darn it, Nick is so adorable. First the fact that he said “Yes, Queen!” And snapped while he did it 😍. And the fact that right after he asked “Is that okay to say?” 😂😍
Nick is so precious trying to make a reference on Yess Queen! I love him so much for it. I hope that he grows more and more as an actor in the future. He is such a talent, as well as Katherine and Alexandra.
Very intelligent actors. I can see them as future directors.
2:52 She just said everything I was thinking and feeling 😭💛
I felt as if she was reading my mind
I can totally agree with the over sexualization of teens in the entertainment industry, honestly it’s really bothering and disgusting
i agree with everything that they said * snap* snap* snap* queens queens💗💗💗
the cast for the film is just so so cute and lovable and perfect. *binging every promo activity that’s posted*
Also, his amen yas queen was so awkward and adorable
They are so intelligent ❤️
THESE PEOPLE ARE THE FUTURE AND IM DAMN PROUD
God damn, Katherine can explain how it feels to be gay and kinda underrepresented better than I can, and I'm gay o.o
WHY IS GAMORA?! Same. Im gay AND black which makes it even worse that I don't even know HOW underrepresented I am or can explain what its like. The fact that Blue ended up being someone that was neither stereotypically black nor stereotypically gay black (i.e. RuPaul, Todrick Hall) was just everything.
Demi Muse Yeah, Keiynan is pretty amazing
“Yasss Kween” lmao I love Nick so fkin much
I've become a HUGE NICK ROBINSON fan!!
I absolutely love just how nick is sitting there when the are talking about breast’s and waists and lingerie and not saying anything - just sitting there like he’s used to it (which he probably is)
i LOVE alex so much
🙌🏽🙌🏽 amazing and love nicks addition at the end “amen, yes queens” 💕
asdlkjd was alexandra shading riverdale
Zoe Swett fr, I remember that scene with Cheryl & Betty in season 1, Cheryl was in a bra only, in the locker room, but she could’ve easily been dressed like wth¿
I mean it went downhill after season 1 so...
Girl, it went downhill after episode 1
Zoe Swett ikr so much shade lol
Riverdale is a shitty series - it's a teen drama aimed at 12 year old girls.
Movies with gay characters have come along way since the 90s. See "Parting Glances" "Fun Down THere" and "Eban and Charlie". Only small independent movie companies would produce that kind of movie. Today mega companies have finally begun to make LGBT movies that we can relate to. Finally! I hope we NEVER go back to the 90s
This cast is so amazing! I loved this movie so much!! Everybody deserves to watch it!
6:13 my reaction too nick :))
I love this interview
My name is Wagner, I'm Brazilian, and I want to say how much you congratulate for looking after the movie, Nick Robson you're extraordinary, and that's little compared to where you can get congratulations to "everyone" we love you.
So much truth said in this interview!
I love so much everything they have said, it was super interesting.
Surprised they didn’t put Katherine in the thumbnail
I need moreeeeee
I can't stop looking at Nick sitting there serious not talking and just thinking..
6:13 "Amen... Yes Queen"
YES QUEEN
!!!! Everything in this!!!!
Thank you for that movie. You guys don't know how much the movie ment to me.
Smileypeacefun you can be saved though
urgh this movie means so much to me
I love Nick at the end "Yas queen"
AWH alex is such an angel i love her!!!
My favorite movie! I had expectations and the movie was even more incredible that what I thought it was i felt so related
yes queen snap snap snap
3:50 euphoria: 👁️👄👁️
I watched this movie for the first time last month. I definitley cried because i can relate😕 im bi and ive only come out to my closest friend
nick robinson is so cute I swear!!!!LOVE you nick
i love this movie and book so much
hii
Does anyone like Katherine's shirt AC-DC
I like Katherine Langford's earrings and chokers.
Nick just feeling left out the whole time. 😂
wait what LEAH is aussie? LOL O_O
so is bram lmao
I totally agree. By over sexualizing girls, we also make the standers boys have even higher even though that's a bad thing when the already set standards are hard to reach
His vibe is so strange :)))) but i love it lol
WAIT isn’t the girl from 13 Reasons Why Australian??????
Nick is HOT.
I'd say it isn't that there isn't enough representation, it's that it isn't done properly. They show a gay guy as feminine or a lesbian as butch instead of just a normal person.
Waffleman in Love, Simon both Blue and Simon aren’t portrayed as a stereotypical gay kid, just as anyone and it’s really refreshing :))
I find that ironic because (especially in the book) Bram is a soccer player and a jock. While Simon is into theatre and such, i think he's well portrayed. (Just my opinion 😄)
so if a gay guy is "feminine" then they're not a normal person? There are more feminine guys out there, and they deserve representation too. I think the movie did well in including both "masculine" gay men as well as a "feminine" one, who not to mention presents an extremely intelligent viewpoint and is used as a device to discuss bullying in schools.
Abby W that's why I Love this so much
Enjogior I'm not saying they aren't normal I'm just saying that more often then not it is portrayed that feminine is the only version there is, I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm just saying that it's shown as this is a guy and everything about him is gay rather than this is a guy and everything about him is that he's a guy and he happens to like guys
Nick is si hot
Hannah 💔
I thought Greg Berlanti was mark Ruffalo lol
Wasn’t she wearing a sexy super woman costume in the movie?
Katherine said Call me by your name and ..... What did she say?
Bora Ünal and Carol
Guilherme Bazzotti thanks
This movie was way too nice
is it just me that thinks Katherine sounds a lot more american than before
I saw this last night and i was let down of the ending. It felt a bit rushed----Never Been Kissed
Just me wondering when my crush on Nick is gonna go away and might've grew a small one on Alex 🤷🤷
bi panic
@@xoxo.alexa529 I swear to God the pure definition lol
Oh Crap, I thought that was Tom Holland
I have seen some comments on here that pissed me off. Seems like some people are against gay feminine men. I am a mixture of both so does that mean we are shit? Idk
Is it just me or am I the only person who thinks Kath Alex and Nick would all play Riverdale characters so well.
alexandra literally shaded riverdale in this interview so i don't think she'd be on board with that
Vaughn Free I'm not saying she would like it, im just saying they could easily play characters from the show
why is katherine trying so hard with the american accent? you’re not acting anymore you can relax. why do so many australian celebrities try to water down their accents? we’re not that hard to understand
I cringed for nick when alex said she did have big boobs. he was quiet and let them speak on that topic about sexualizing young girls.
Is she mumbling or does katherine have a faint accent?
I could not even finish this clip because some of the replies seemed scripted and were not articulated well. Nick was the only one to get his points across. Hope this is not a bad comment but I just feel someone on a promotional tour for a film should know the subject and the film better.
I mean, they've done hundreds of interviews. Plus, Catherine worded the problem of underrepresentation perfectly.
I love how they keep rewriting history to try to market films using identity politics. This is far from the first mainstream film with a gay protagonist, what is that girl smoking? Even sillier than saying Black Panther was the first black superhero.
Albert Scott what they mean I suppose, it's a major studio backed and released coming out film. The other films were produced by small independent companies, versus this one by 20th Century Fox.
That don’t mean that this is first gay movie ever silly it’s the first one to be released by a major studio
What other mainstream film has starred a young, gay protagonist and been backed by a major studio?
It's also important to have actual lgbtq characters play them... not straight people
i do agree with that, but it's still a great thing to have straight allies and actors who may have a different perspective on this topic.
And this is coming from a gay person. These stories are important and should be handled with care and grace, the sexuality of the actor doesn’t matter as long as they are doing their job which is delivering a quality performance.
Johnny Hills III I'm gay too...
i’m pretty sure they were going for a kid who wasn’t the cliche gay kid or “obviously” gay. they wanted to break that stereotype that all gay people act the same. and i think nick really did a great job portraying simon even tho he’s not gay. there really wasn’t a point where you thought simon wasn’t gay.
Also, Greg Berlanti, the man who directed the movie, is gay which makes it so it is not just a ton of straight people depicting what it's like to be gay.
All kinds of agendas here.
if you watch the movie, it's nowhere near a political movie-it was sweet and simple and full of energy so no, I don't think the movie itself pushes an agenda
Women with opinions? Scary right.
Aoife Why'd you make it into a gender issue? People are allowed to disagree with an opinion, no matter if it comes from a female or a male. It doesn't automatically mean that people are sexist just because they don't agree with a female's opinion, which, in this case, wasn't even about gender in the first place. Nobody made a single sexist remark except you. Not everything is about gender.
Bam Bi The fact that you watched this video and thought it wasn't about gender says a lot. This interview is almost entirely about gender, be that woman's representation in media or the prevalence of heteronormativity in Hollywood. Men are rarely accused of having "agendas"; in contrast women who have opinions on gender/sexuality/etc are *always* accused of having an agenda. If you read more widely and engaged some critical thought you would realize this and understand what it means.
Aoife The fact that you thought my comment was about the video says a lot. I am aware of the issues this interview brought to light and that gender was one of them but I disagree that it was almost entirely about it. It was mainly about LGBT representation in media and the over sexualization of teenagers of both genders. They are not gender problems, they are human problems. My original reply was in response to yours stating "Women with opinions? Scary right." That was not relevant to anything stated previously following the original comment. Nobody was questioning her right to post that comment, they were merely stating their own opinions. While some of them were unnecessarily rude, that doesn't make it a gender issue as you seemed to assume. This particular conversation was not about gender in the slightest until you made it appear so, just as you're making the video out to be primarily about something it's not. Perhaps if you stopped jumping to conclusions and making everything about gender, it wouldn't be a gender issue, as is the reality. Don't try to undermine my opinions with cheap insults. It won't work. Stick to the topic.
The movie was a littel Underwhelming tho
