Ask a Star: GREASE: LIVE Star Aaron Tveit on Puppies, Hondas, Ninjas, Broadway Dream Co-Stars & More

Aaron Tveit, who will star as Danny Zuko on GREASE: LIVE, answers probing questions from Broadway.com fans!

[@quiddmitch]

I love how he addressed everyone who asked those questions! Must be so wonderful for them.

[@anightmarebeforechristmas5585]

Any else accidentally zone out a few times while he talks because you're so busy staring at him... so you have to rewind the video to hear what he said? Just me? okay.

[@laraoverman7997]

+SquishyStarkid Always. haha

[@hedigh6438]

I was lost in his eyes mostly

[@ellamarelle8451]

just happened the third time just now and I haven't even got through 30 seconds of the video yet lol

[@michaelduffy6358]

Aaron tveit is flawless just saying, I'm a straight guy and I'm not going to lie in saying that Aaron tveit is sexually attractive to me. He is a god

[@mindenamimusical2489]

Same happened to me, he's such a babe :D

[@zoeennis1971]

It’s so ironic that the person who asked, “When are you coming back to Broadway?” was named Christian 🤪

[@fairlyadorablepancreas3746]

Yess!!

I honestly forgot the context of this interview (that it was filmed in 2016 or whatever). And I thought for a moment that he was just naming the role he was about to play. It’s sad because I have seen this interview a ton, so I obviously know it was filmed a while ago.

[@audreyviolet4772]

I love that he mentioned the names when he responded that must be so cool for the people who asked questions

Aaron casually mentions, "Well, when I read the [Game of Thrones] books..." Love a dedicated reader!

[@xcupcakexheartagramx]

I've loved his acting and singing for a bit now, but I've never really sat down and watched an interview with him before. He seems so nice??? And genuine?? Like wow. The way he made sure to address everyone by name is so sweet. :)

[@jocelynli2042]

he really is, actually a lot of people have deeply analyzed (that sounds creepier than it actually is) his character, but it's been quite established that he is really genuine and his personality is quite amazing. nobody, really, no one has been able to find a single bit of personality/talent/visual flaw with this perfect man yet

[@bambibloggerfantage]

SAME I REALLY WANT TO MEET HIM NOW

[@malloryfallon6394]

Yeah there aren’t A LOT of sit down interviews of him which kinda bums me

This made me fall in love with him even more.

[@chelseadavis3980]

“Christian, I wish I knew when I was coming back to Broadway”... and now is playing Christian on Broadway. Wow.

Hearing Aaron Tveit talk Game of Thrones and labradoodles is more than I can handle today.

[@Theordoreqaz]

am I the only one who wants to know why his shirt is only half way down buttoned or is it only me seeing it 😂😂

[@eggything]

nah he just seems to not be so good at buttoning his shirts, there are several pictures floating around of similar situations :)

[@carysmichael8779]

awww man why'd he wear a t shirt underneath :-(

[@TheAmbkn1]

I know this is late, but I think he did that on purpose. It looks like a long shirt, so maybe it was more comfortable to sit in if it wasn't buttoned all the way. I guess kind of the same way men unbutton their suit jackets when they sit down.

[@lexihall7383]

People have remarked that he seems not to know that the top three buttons exist

[@charlotteh4932]

He is flawless as always

Aaron Tveit and Samantha Barks are my biggest inspirations for theater/Broadway, I love them both so much. I really want the chance to meet them in person. You are an incredible person Aaron ❤️❤️😘😘 much love to you

Funny that the person asking him when he was coming back to Broadway was named Christian (the name of his Moulin Rouge character, that brought him back to Broadway)!

Travolta did pronounce his name correctly but about 3 seconds later he butchered the name of the actual musical so

He would be a fantastic J.M. Barrie in Finding Neverland. A bit young now but maybe someday (keep it it mind casting directors!).

[@violetta7853]

+Horsesarethebest888 Jeremy Jordan played J.M. Barrie in the original production of finding neverlan, and Aaron is one year older than Jeremy so I think he could actually play him!

[@abbymunday5834]

Is anyone else sad that loads of random people are going to start loving Aaron because of Grease? :((

[@sav7016]

Why would it upset you that he's gaining fans? If anything, you should be proud of him and not be upset that people discovered him from Grease Live. That's just silly. And I am in no way trying to be offensive btw. You're just making it seem like they should not be allowed to love him by the way they discovered who he is.

[@franceswalke9568]

Not neccesarily, because there will be even more people to obsess over aaron tveit with.

[@baileybieganek2446]

Abby Munday I began loving him from the les mis movie. Ramin made enjolras one of my fav characters and then in the movie I was watching closely! However, the first time, Aaron didn't really stand out. The second time though...man! I am now an obsessive tveiter-tot! I do understand where you're coming from though...like, are non theatre kids going to love him now and think they have a claim? 😂
