[@aliasgarjairaj3576]

I sort of consider my life to be before Ben Platt and after Ben Platt...

[@emmymatt]

I see you everywhere dude.. Another Indian Ben Platt fan here

[@aliasgarjairaj3576]

Emmanuel Marian Mathew hello again 🙋🏻‍♂️ Nice to know there are other stans here... I don’t know a single Indian Ben fan apart from you!

[@emmymatt]

[@HyperFoxKitsu]

Same

[@Bloodymarryxxx1989]

Same loll

[@Musicalian]

Sooo Emmy, Grammy and Tony Award + a super sick album at 25 years old. Dude I'm turning 25 next year and the best I can hope for is to finish my bachelors degree xD

[@katharynstong1209]

That is a great accomplishment! Congratulations and good luck:)

[@taakotuesdays]

Hey getting a bachelors is an accomplishment great job pal!

[@allthingshala9935]

Just an Oscar away from having an EGOT

[@shreyar4708]

"APPROPRIATELY AND WITH CONSENT" YES SIR

[@gretalyon4227]

Shreya Rangarajan bruh the fact he got a cheer for that just shows how awful this world is

[@MNZGamin]

that’s called utter cringe

[@gretalyon4227]

Menzy consent is cringe? dude you could go to prison for that so you might wanna rethink how you view consent and who that affects

[@FlusteredBushStudios]

Shreya Rangarajan we stan

[@layla3770]

like mate stop procrastinating they were laughing. they were probably clapping because they thought it was funny and applauded him for the joke. it is not that deep.

[@KrzyKuri]

This guy is crazy talented. I liked him since “Pitch Perfect.” The album joke is on point 😄

[@Chicagomom311]

Same here

[@shawnathans5868]

I caught the little hair flip at 5:04. Adorable!!

[@mirandar7775]

I will watch every version of Ben meeting Beyoncé interview

[@crystalrainnwalton]

What a talented little muffin.

[@sophiewong9588]

such a cute little muffin

[@maryweggeland9795]

Ben is the best little muffin. 💖

[@mishizzle14]

I recently saw him in Philly and no lie, everyone was in tears! Hes so amazing

[@emmymatt]

Things I like about this video: 1. "JSwipe" How proud he is to be a Jew. 2. "Sing to me instead" joke. 3. He talking about how he let his voice be heard without the autotune and all. 4. His awesome dance move and the demonstration. 5. He sang my absolute fave song on the album on the show.

[@charliep123]

Emmanuel Marian Mathew Agreed!

[@katherinelei6688]

wise beyond his years. funny. handsome. talented beyond belief. I love him :’(

[@TheWealthGenerator]

I sorta consider my life to be like before Beyonce and after 😂

[@ellabook15]

This album is unbelievable.

[@emercycrite]

Why is he so cute AND daddy at the same time?!

[@Eatmywalnutz]

Please don’t call him daddy

[@emercycrite]

@@Eatmywalnutz Daddy.

[@Eatmywalnutz]

@@emercycrite no

[@akurvee]

Ben is the most adorable bean that has ever walked on this earth, we don't deserve him.

[@linthetin6419]

I love him with my whole heart

[@milton216]

i had the priviledge to see him live on broadway in dear evan hansen

[@RachelLiz1010]

Shamelessly providing time stamps to Ben’s nose crinkle laughs: 1:39, 2:17, 2:30, 3:56, and 5:34. Because it’s the most precious thing in the world.

[@vovantoanquoc]

I discovered Ben platt a few months ago and now I am low key addicted to him so weird. Lol he is so dope.

[@sienjansen6354]

"Appropriately and with consent" Ben Platt is too precious

[@mimi_2896]

Wait! He’s getting more recognition now. I love it!

[@averysandoval541]

Ben!!! Such a huge fan! Please never stop doing what you love.

[@NanztheFan]

anyone watch his interview on Stephen Colbert vs this one ? He seems so much more calm and more used to this stuff. he has grown so much ❤️

[@catielee3888]

The amount of love I have for this man is insane. I’m so happy for him that his fan base is growing💙

[@AARgirl12]

ugh i just love him. so much freaking talent in one human.

[@kilometer1545]

we must protect him at all costs 💛

[@RachelLiz1010]

I love how he leans all the way back for a full on laugh before “yeah, I’m bored, sing to me on the floor.” Protect Ben Platt

[@thelocalmaniac]

I’m so happy for him and how far he’s come ❤️❤️ what a joy and talent

[@carleighd5624]

i saw the opening night of his tour and when he started talking about the dance move i kNEW

[@Chicagomom311]

Same here. It was awesome.

[@charliep123]

I am so proud of him I love him so much

[@SeventhMarch]

Benji, you made it!

[@jesusofnazareth666]

My heart💜❤

[@godswiph]

Ben is VERY talented. But, also, his dad is Marc Platt... so his family is basically Hollywood AND Broadway royalty. If anyone is on a fast-track to an EGOT, it's Ben. But, once again... he's obviously VERY talented.

[@catalinacurio]

Cute as a button, sorry not you this time Jimmy, Ben. 😊

[@robynsmith6974]

Love Ben Platt😍👐🏻

[@ZEN-fk2mh]

i love ben platt ahhhh

[@evangabriel5127]

Ben is the most adorable bean to exist. Just a beautiful ray of sunshine. Protecc at all costs.

[@LC-ms7gi]

It's so weird... he talked about meeting beyonce for like 10 seconds and the video is captioned " Ben Platt on meeting Beyonce and his new Album"... 🤔

[@areeshafatima8453]

its called clickbait...welcome to the internet 😂😂😂

[@maryclairep8426]

Hannah abott lol

[@NSankeerthUrkec]

Appropriately and with Consent 👏👏👏😍 Ben

[@harrypotteravenclaw]

He feels so authentic and cool

[@robertopavlin2923]

Hi is a star! He is my favourite actor/singer/songwriter at the moment... Love him ♥️♥️

[@EvanSawyer4]

Hey! I remember that dance move from pitch perfect! I remember thinking it looked super cool.

[@matthewduer660]

We love you ben

[@nyutuj343]

[@WilliamSilva-mf7sb]

Eu também quero encontrar a Beyoncé pfv Deus...

[@PassionGrows]

Ben Platt is an exceptional actor but he is so young. I am certain he will get an Oscar one day.

[@RRAFE]

I love "bad habit " I even buy it.

[@Car_Uma]

I can't get enough of this guy. Can't wait for him to run for something for me to vote for him or something

[@beepbeepeddie8010]

ben platt is the best person to stan

[@charliep123]

I will NEVER EVER hate you Ben

[@eduardosouza9405]

so here's a thought... ben's the love of my life

[@cowboyhatcat]

does anybody know the story behind his ring on his left hand bc he’s always wearing it?also his album is beautiful 💗

[@emmymatt]

I m also curious. Also about that coat that wears in 'Grow as we go' and 'Temporary Love'.

[@benmedina5818]

Listen to the 92Y interview with Judith Light. He mentions how it’s from his Grandma and how he wears it to remember her.

[@michelemckeemusic]

Guys that Dear Evan Hansen show when Hillary Clinton was there.... I was at that show too eeeeee

[@yourbeanshandem275]

Ben Plat is great so I just have to scream to let out my Fangirlyness. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@wig804]

I love him

[@katherinelei6688]

The man has no flaws

[@karenbrown4657]

Not true! He is allergic to cats, so he dislikes them. He has exactly 1 flaw which is better than none because it means he has no deep dark secrets he is hiding from us! His allergies prove that this godly creature is actually human!

[@Missdragonfruit]

💖💖💖@benplatt 🙌

[@maaaate]

Didn’t know that it’s possible for one human to be this frickin cute

[@Poafa]

I mean Dear Even Hansen movie is coming out so mabye an Oscar.....

[@katherinelei6688]

BEAN PLANT 🥰🥰🥰

[@alexandragrace8164]

[@mukulmalik4292]

[@clbogas]

Welcome to your new life

[@taylorchanna]

25? 🤨 Ooooooook

[@charliep123]

Is J Swipe a real thing?

[@aysiamae2276]

Does he not look like a guinea pig? Or a gerbal animal of some sort? I can't be the only one that sees that he starred in G-force and magically turned human

[@shawnathans5868]

10/10 would cuddle

[@quanzelle]

omg i can’t unsee, that’s why he’s such a cutie

[@TheSuperNats]

I read the title as “Brad Pitt” and was like who tf is this

[@dragonfly7116]

Can I get a wiff?

[@silvanasaezdiaz4841]

He has an emmy? What?

[@sarahjayneroe8859]

When Dear Evan Hansen performed on Good Morning America that performance won an Emmy :)

[@chronic2001n]

The ignorant will rise to rule the loving. They will in droves, drivi'n by ignorance and malice propagated by entertainers and the publicly adored. This will be the death of civilization.

[@yuiware5947]

1st

[@mydude6309]

Cool

[@madisonsummerfield2610]

I'm too early, idk what to do

[@kimberlybartholomew1498]

I honestly didn’t know that Ben was in the Book of Mormon show. My respect for him just plummeted. What kind of sorry person would willingly participate in a show whose sole purpose is to bash on an entire religion and its people? It’s sickening.

[@littlemorelela8441]

It's making fun of organized religion in General, not just that one. And it's not cruel at all

[@MNZGamin]

1:55 utter cringe
