The diversity is what I think drew a lot of people in to this version because there are a lot of people that want that level diversity in every part of life. Add to that an Asian guy as the romantic lead! Then tie all that up with R&H music! I personally need/want to see Paolo in a movie or 12 as the romantic lead and other stuff! Such talent!
I wish there was more diversity tbh. I'm so happy some people were able to see themsleves in this fantasy! And Whitney?!? C'mon! 😍 Many of my fellow Latino and Indian friends and family don't see themselves in the lead and supporting roles. We tend to be forgotten the most in media and entertainment. I think we need to do better to let more colours and cultures under the BIPOC umbrella shine. #RepresentationMatters
I wished there were more movies like these. The diversity was amazing. It was perplexing at first when I was younger, but re-watching I didn't care, because I loved each part. And it broke the stereotyping of casting for me as a viewer, and I am so disappointed that there weren't any more shows like this on television. I know that stage plays and musicals have this diversity, but growing up I never had the opportunity to see those. So when this came on television, I was enchanted. The Asian lead, Paolo, was amazing. Not gonna lie, he was prince charming. Wished he held more film roles.
I saw this version of Cinderella when it first aired in 1997 and absolutely fell in love with it. I am not ashamed to say that here we are 23 years later and even though I'm almost 70, I still adore the movie and I still have a mad crush on Paolo Montalban. He's such a babe.
Uh no. He doesn’t look 25. The youngest he looks is 30s. The age is in the neck and skin quality. Maybe it takes another Asian to notice the age lines. 25 year old Asian look more like actual teenagers.
Prince Charming is Back! Yes!!!! He literally doesn’t age! Still handsome as ever. #firstcrush This is best and my favorite version of Cinderella ever.
How has he not aged?! I was 5 when this movie first aired and it's always had a special place in my heart and is one of my favorite versions of Cinderella. Now here I am at 29 introducing it to my almost 2 year old daughter. Omg, I feel old now.
Hard to believe it's been 23 years. Loved this so much--the song and Paolo! This song gives me goosebumps. It was my favorite in the original Lesley Ann Warren version. As Paolo says, it totally captures the emotion of "love at first sight".
Hi Paolo! I got to see your performance in Cinderella at the Kennedy Center. I'll always remember Eartha Kitt in that performance too, what an amazing actress she was! I remember that at the curtain call, when she came out of the coach, she put her leg out first to show it off and the cast and audience hooted and hollered, she was so classy and funny. Thanks for such a memorable performance!
This man is still fine as hell... I was crushing on him at age 8, and now it's way less weird to be crushing on him lol... That voice is timeless and smile is as charming as ever!!!
He's so lovely and I have such a place in my heart for this movie. A friend of mine introduced me to it and I still remember the beautiful dresses and incredible dancing in the ball scenes. All the dancers, including brandy and paolo did an amazing job and I have to give props to the choreographer. When me and my friend were young, we tried to copy the moves. The 'prince is giving a ball' also had some cool dancing in it too and I remember jason Alexander was actually quite impressive in that part :) all the songs were so memorable and I remember the stepmother and Whitney Houston having such powerful voices, while brandy had a very sweet, funky style and paolo was very smooth. The stepsisters made me laugh and the king and queen were fun :) the whole cast was great :) Also on a side note, the interviewer is beautiful. I can totally see her playing Cinderella on Broadway:)
To this popping up in my recommendation after I watched him, Bernadette and brandy on the Rosie O’Donnell show 😂... I see you Algorithm. And I’m here for it. He looks great and sounds so nice giving me musical vibes. ❤️💜💕 Brandy needed to pop up out the woods to join him, would’ve been cute.
Kid me used to dress up and dance to his singing- and I still sing along to the soundtrack. If Disney were ever looking for a cast for another musical I hope they have his number!
This guy must be 50, right? ? My god...he looks much younger. He definitely takes care of himself. Can't believe he did not get more starring roles in Hollywood post-Cinderella. Hollywood, come on. Give this man a big role!!!
I saw the movie,met him in person when he was at the Kennedy center in Washington DC, it was my birthday had pictures taken, sang happy birthday and signed my program and Cinderella shirt. Saw him again in olney Maryland in the play the king and I had photo shoot there too. Thank you for the update video. Kristen Doherty from Washington DC. P.S. Take care always and be safe.
What a great, talented and nice Prince Charming Paolo Montalban is! He had big shoes to fill in, as Jon Cypher was the original one opposite the magnificent Julie Andrews. This version of 10 minutes ago is so cool, and Paolo does wonders. Julie Andrews must be proud of him!
I would flip out if they came out with a Part 2!!! They're both so young looking that they could totally pull it off!!! (Squealing with absolute delight and oldest kids are in their late 20s. LOL!) Now I cannot stop smiling at the very thought of it now. :-)
This made me so happy...and a little emotional haha 💗 That Cinderella means so much to me. Thank you for doing this! PS. How does he not look a day older??
How can an actor who's got a large fanbase risk a flop? Hollywood was not worried about that risk, they were simply too prejudiced to be interested in launching a handsome, talented Asian.
for real, the premise would be that they would be tellin their little kid/s of how they met and then we time skip to them bein in their 20s and them finding their love or their independence
@@Vydiastar of course, but I think she still deserved a loving, caring partner who would’ve bring her happiness and hold her down.. I think he should’ve been the one... he seems like he has his head on his shoulder ...no games!

Ahhh yes he is, total heart throb!
So this man is 47yo and looks like he's 25 which is the age he was when he acted as the prince. WOW
Uh no. He doesn’t look 25. The youngest he looks is 30s. The age is in the neck and skin quality. Maybe it takes another Asian to notice the age lines. 25 year old Asian look more like actual teenagers.
He looks 27 years at lease
He was like 22 and he dnt look 25 lol
He looks like he’s in his 30’s (to most Asians), to non-Asian people he might look even younger 🤷🏻♂️ But either way he aged sooo well
If you saw him when he was actually 25 you'd see the difference. In other words, when he was 25 he looked 15.
Prince Charming is Back! Yes!!!! He literally doesn’t age! Still handsome as ever. #firstcrush This is best and my favorite version of Cinderella ever.
Same!!!
Same here. The only version I watch over and over again 😊
Same I like the one with Julie but this one just draws me in better and not just because of Bernadette. I did like Jasons singing voice after this one
He hasn’t AGED!!!😭😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️ he’s still sooooo GORGEOUS!!!! This version was my first introduction with the musical!
This man is still FINEEE all these years later... sheesh
Totally had a crush on this guy when I was a kid😍
His voice is still beautiful as ever
I still do 😭
I still have a crush on him😍
@@reneeproud5273 same lol

OH MY GODDD PLS BRING HIM BACK TO MAINSTREAM CONCIOUSNESS
Tell his agent. But you'll first have to wake him up...
Omg he has hardly aged!!!! Love this version of Cinderella
We need more of this guy! Hollywood call this man now! Netflix where you at!
Paolo will forever be the ultimate Prince Charming. Im glad R&H brought him back for this series 💖
Still so dreamy after all these years 😍✨
I had such a crush on him when I was younger. I still do
Hard to believe it's been 23 years. Loved this so much--the song and Paolo! This song gives me goosebumps. It was my favorite in the original Lesley Ann Warren version. As Paolo says, it totally captures the emotion of "love at first sight".
I just fell back in love with my childhood prince. 😍
Here after watching Todricks Hall’s Cinderella Medley...ahhh the memories ☺️🙌🏽👍🏽

Where’s Brandy??? Reunite them!!!!

My favorite Prince Charming!
Pilipino prince charming ❤️❤️❤️ represention matters! Plz reunite them for a song!! My first crush definitely
Years have been good to him.
This man is still fine as hell... I was crushing on him at age 8, and now it's way less weird to be crushing on him lol... That voice is timeless and smile is as charming as ever!!!
I'm still crushing more than 2 decades later...
Omg. Where has this guy been? Hes so handsome with an amazing voice!
He was in a show in New York City in the beginning of the year-The Unsinkable Molly Brown. I specifically went to see it because I knew he was in it.
Paolo is fine as 🍷 wine. Wish he and Brandy could do a new project together
Honestlyyyuyy
And I wish they could just go out already! lol
I'll be your Cinderella! 😍
He's still so handsome. Paolo...I am still in love.
He still looks good 😍
HE STILL LOOKS SO YOUNG!!!!
HE’S 47!!!!
He still handsome good looking beautiful man. I love his character on Cinderella movie with Brandy and Whitney Houston.
He's so lovely and I have such a place in my heart for this movie. A friend of mine introduced me to it and I still remember the beautiful dresses and incredible dancing in the ball scenes.

AHHHHHHHH I LOVED THIS MOVIEEEEE!!!!!
He was one of my first crushes from a movie, both happen to be princes in a Cinderella story. The other is Henry from Ever After
Oh my God, he never aged he still looks the same 😍
So handsome. My goodness.
Oh, my prince! He has returned.
Wow he’s on key here unlike the clip in Toddrick’s Cinderella video. Thank goodness
Lol I am so glad I wasn’t the only that noticed.
That whole last segment was a mess. You can tell people just sent in recordings with different timing and poor mic quality.
Lmao let’s pray they will do another gold reunion after Covid ✨✨✨
I was thinking the same thing lol
i am so in love with him
This guy must be 50, right? ? My god...he looks much younger. He definitely takes care of himself. Can't believe he did not get more starring roles in Hollywood post-Cinderella. Hollywood, come on. Give this man a big role!!!
Oh my goodness, I screamed with excitement for this! I am too ready! 😭💙😅
Wow Prince Charming! Sooooo Nice to see him again... Just got to see him in their mini reunion Cinderella Cast singing at Todrickhall's Channel
I saw the movie,met him in person when he was at the Kennedy center in Washington DC, it was my birthday had pictures taken, sang happy birthday and signed my program and Cinderella shirt. Saw him again in olney Maryland in the play the king and I had photo shoot there too. Thank you for the update video. Kristen Doherty from Washington DC. P.S. Take care always and be safe.
Paolo and Brendy had Amazing job
I love him so much. SO handsome. The one Prince for me.
Love it! I originally heard this decades ago on “Cinderella”! Beautiful! Often dreamt I was Cinderella finding my “Prince Charming” someday! 💕
What a great, talented and nice Prince Charming Paolo Montalban is! He had big shoes to fill in, as Jon Cypher was the original one opposite the magnificent Julie Andrews. This version of 10 minutes ago is so cool, and Paolo does wonders. Julie Andrews must be proud of him!
OHHHH HELLL YEAHHHHHH 💙💙💙💙
Que lindo Paolo Montalban 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Quando lembro de Cinderela, recordo como eu suspirava com esse príncipe! Brandy é maravilhosa também!!!!
Wow, Brandy and Him could do a Cinderella 2😶😱💕
I would flip out if they came out with a Part 2!!! They're both so young looking that they could totally pull it off!!! (Squealing with absolute delight and oldest kids are in their late 20s. LOL!) Now I cannot stop smiling at the very thought of it now. :-)
exactly , maybe one day I hope
I need COVID to end so they can redo the dance and sing together. I just T_T pleaseeeee
Oh em Ji can not waittttttt..... Waiting for 20 years
My childhood crushie until now
This made me so happy...and a little emotional haha 💗 That Cinderella means so much to me. Thank you for doing this! PS. How does he not look a day older??
Cuz hes Filipino probably lol
Wow I like this version a lottttt!!!!! Please make more more videos!!! I love your voice! Fans from 🇮🇩Indonesia.
I didn't know Paolo was filipino I thought he was an Latino or Polynesian I would love to meet him & interview him
Our Southeast Asian king.
I want to see him and brandy again together and this time they are king and Queen with children.
Dont make me cry like this!
I was 6 when I realized I have a thing for Asians🥰🥺first crush. Him and Brandy did not age and DID HE MENTION MIKA?!
Thank you TH-cam for recommending this. I'm giggling😍🥰🤩
He should have been cast as Kung Lao in the upcoming 2021 MK movie. Would have been a blast, he looks amazing.💪👍
This makes me smile ☺️
OMG THIS IS AMAZING 😭💖 my heart is so full. Thank you for this!
GOD TIER CASTING
Paolo you are aminzig actor of the prince my Favorite actor
Yes yes yes polo this is what we need Whitney whold been so proud of you and brondy

OH MY GOOOODDDDDDD
How is it that I found out about this now, three months after this was posted?! My favorite Cinderella prince!
Fantastic! 👍👍👍
The Great Kung Lao!!
He's still hot even after all these years and I love this video
Like the original better but still great to see Paolo singing again
King!
My first crush. My forever crush.
Excellent
I LOOOVVVEEE THIS!!!!
Mom: See, Rebecca look, even Prince Charming has a black & white family just like us.
Confused Child Me: Why does he look Asian?
Lmao.
Great job, my brother, Paolo!!! Much love, Shang Tsung
HE’S A HAMILTON FAN!!! AHHHHHHHH
How can an actor who's got a large fanbase risk a flop? Hollywood was not worried about that risk, they were simply too prejudiced to be interested in launching a handsome, talented Asian.
So Good!!!!
HE 👏 HAS 👏 NOT 👏 AGED ❤
This arrangement reminds me of The Beatles.
I thought more of the Monkees “Daydream Believer”!!
He had this black girl trying to find her Asian prince!
😂 You crazy girl! But same here😉💕💕💕
Me too, sis! I don't think he understands how much sistas loved his handsome, talented, down-to-earth self!
After Cinderella, I never heard of him again.
This is AMAZING!!!
Was he frozen 😱 Brandy also looks amazing 🥰
More Paolo M🎬
We love the Hamilton reference🙌🏽
He and Brandy can reprise their role in a remake and we won't even notice the difference except for the fact that the movie is in a better quality.
for real, the premise would be that they would be tellin their little kid/s of how they met and then we time skip to them bein in their 20s and them finding their love or their independence
I love this song but in the Cinderella movie 1997
Kuya prince pogi
He didn't change a thing.
Well Paolo if you like hiking come visit the Rocky Mountains soon, coughcoughcough. 😂
He looks his age tho. The ost for this movie was 👌🏽 and the movie has aged gorgeously.
I’m Mad that Brandy didn’t dated Him back then... He’s a keeper, he could’ve been her Hubby and her Real Life Prince
THAT WOULDVE BEEN EPIC N COUPLE GOALS!!!
@@Vydiastar yeah she needed someone like him in her life... it’s sad to see her single 42..
@@JinxSAW but we love an independent woman
@@Vydiastar of course, but I think she still deserved a loving, caring partner who would’ve bring her happiness and hold her down.. I think he should’ve been the one... he seems like he has his head on his shoulder ...no games!
