Ben Platt On How Ellen Inspired Him to Be His Authentic Self

[@pdsketch603]

He is SO confident and CAUSAL RIGHT NOW I’m so proud this is so DIFFERENT FROM HIS DEH INTERVIEWS

[@lyrijumbachoi520]

I think so too! do you think he was so used to playing evan that some evan-ism rubbed off him so he was super nervous and panicky when he does interviews during that time?

[@n.c.435]

@@lyrijumbachoi520 yeah !! I remember reading that he actually had to go to physical therapy due to all the slouching /stuttering / ticcing he did as Evan & it became a habit for him to do it too

[@juliusprovido4393]

This interview cleared my skin and added 10 years to my life.

[@hankfields4939]

OMG. LOL!

[@c0llapsingst4rs]

this happens every time i see his face i’m gonna live forever

[@ashleykauk7910]

Please cast him as Evan in the Dear Evan Hansen movie and he'll get an Oscar real quick!

[@aritrette9995]

Ashley Kauk GENIUS

[@laceydotson9618]

He, he is

[@ashleykauk7910]

@@laceydotson9618 I'm like 99% sure there hasn't been official casting yet. If you have seen something that says otherwise, I would LOVE to see it

[@maiarostved]

I love Ben so much and I love him in the musical, but he isn’t a teenager though and he definitely doesn’t look like a teenager 🤷‍♀️ I won’t be mad if he’s cast, but I don’t think he fits the role in the movie.

[@kyragrayc]

I LOOKED AT THE CAST LIST AND YUP HE’S EVAN!

[@chaineyd3973]

Ben Platt has big flaming homosexual energy and it has cured my depression

[@ferris-wheel159]

[@thekeytomyheart_]

Ben Platt deserves more popularity tbh

[@catlover7]

Just adapt Dear Evan Hansen into a movie and cast Ben Platt again as the main actor and voila, an EGOT winner!

[@kyragrayc]

THEY HAVE AND I’M SCREAMING!!

[@charliep123]

They’re making a Dear Evan Hansen movie and Ben’s father Marc Platt is the producer!

[@sophiewong9588]

But getting an EGOT for all the same thing seems like cheating or something

[@orgyonmyown]

@@sophiewong9588 Not at all. They are all for different productions and playing a certain person is not a save win. It's all about the talent. In fact I would call It legendary and iconic if he would win an Oscar instead of cheating.

[@lydiawolford3778]

DEAR EVEN HANSEN MOVIE YES

[@katherinehunt6579]

Before clicking I thought "do people realize Ben Platt is totally going to be an EGOT?". And yep. Haha :) good! Everyone should know about how multi-talented Ben Platt is!

[@HlySpark]

Katherine Hunt what did he get an Emmy for?

[@willwalker24601]

@@HlySpark He got a Daytime Emmy for his performance of You will Be Found on The Today Show.

[@MrNikkimaxine]

Katherine Hunt And a lot of pain right now and yes

Ben Platt one of the nicest people on the planet. Adore him and loving how he is being so authentic and true. Can't wait for the tour to start.

[@GigiVideos]

Ben: Disney? Ellen: oh they’re listening, believe me Illuminati.....confirmed

[@masonbunch7302]

Disney bought Illuminati. Called it

[@agustinavillar7599]

When he said dear evan hansen y screamed AAAA i havent heard him talk in a long time, just sing

[@MarkovianMan]

He was so cute as Will's young date on Will & Grace... best line ever when he told Will he knows all about "Stonehenge" (confusing it with Stonewall). Had me in stitches!

[@willwalker24601]

I really hope he gets the EGOT!!!

[@angorians]

Am i tripping or his voice sounds completely different

[@Rapha2587]

You're tripping.

[@angorians]

@epiccollision yeah! going back to the interview from last year, it sounds a lot deeper now. Not when he sings tho, that sounds the same

[@gingerisevil02]

It does

[@gingerisevil02]

He's not talking as fast lol

[@TravelwithLea]

I honestly think Ben Platt should be the next voice of a Disney Prince. He's beautiful!

[@Ala.Medusa]

He is so nervous I just want to hug him all the time. He's so sweet!
