Gillian Jacobs is perfection! Inside and outside.

[@travelswithauntieann2551]

She’s gorgeous. So natural inside and out. Love to hang out with Gillian 🌸

[@wtom1420]

She was so good in Love. Her facial expressions really convey emotion of every kind. And her timing is excellent. I love her acting! I love her attitude. She's so smart, smarter than anyone really!

[@lancerfour]

what an amazingly articulate person. very impressive. absolute great luck to her~

[@theempire00]

Such a great, down to earth person. She deserves more exposure!

[@MasterAppels]

I know she was joking, but it says a lot of society and our culture that going to bed early and not drinking is seen as a flaw.

[@timevine5170]

That's not really what she was saying, though. She was trying to say that she doesn't look flawed by the same markers as her characters, because she is responsible and not wild, but that despite that exterior "maturity," she is still flawed. (As we all are, of course.)

[@hannizam7108]

sometimes I talk to death and say the same thing I guess :)

[@ania5038]

Drinking is definitely glamourized and makes you a 'cool girl' who can talk about made up drunk stories like Jennifer Lawrence has done lying about Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus to make them look bad lol most people who brag about drinking though are actually quite embarrassing and sad... like just imagine someone bragging about their sex addiction lol

[@BradPittStains]

I love her :(

[@arnoldoflacko2016]

why the sad face? is it because you've realised you can never have her too :(

[@theempire00]

+Arnoldo Flacko me too :( Unless I make it big in the next couple of years :))) But otherwise :((

[@LeoSRL300]

Arnoldo Flacko Sad time? :(

[@nuwansilva1203]

Great to see an actual role model coming out of Hollywood. Without all the desperation for attention, hype drama and scandal. Keep doing what you do!

[@mmyilmazyurt8666]

She nailed every performance she was in recent years. Especially, Mickey. Even though, she and Britta have minor similarities in general they are genuinely different performance and kudos to Gillian for portraying them perfectly. She is flawless yet, I hope she appears in more well known productions rather than indie movies because she is so underrated.

[@GodsMistake]

She can't go mainstream, she would have to initiate Protocol Omega.

[@mmyilmazyurt8666]

@@GodsMistake I couldn’t get the reference, could you please give a little context?

[@GodsMistake]

@@mmyilmazyurt8666 Abed and Troy's blanket fort gets into the local paper so Abed says, "You know what this means?" and Troy says, "We've gone mainstream..." Abed says, "Initiate Protocol Omega!" They pull on socks hanging from the blanket fort and it all collapses. Then the looting starts... Sorry, I know it's from Gillian's old stuff but Community is so quotable.

[@mmyilmazyurt8666]

@@GodsMistake Community is my favourite show 🙈 I should have got that reference... Time for rewatch it seems! (Thanks for the info!)

[@UlrichUlrich]

When I saw your Paul Rust interview for LOVE, I was hoping you had talked to her, too. Great you got another chance to talk to her, thanks to Don't Think Twice, which is getting rave reviews. 100 percent on RT. Love her so much, ever since Choke in 2008. Can't wait for season 2 of LOVE!. She's so unbelievably good on LOVE - Emmy-snubbed for sure!. She seems like a lovely person, too - inside and out.

[@ClaraBlush]

Man she is so under-utilized in Hollywood :( love both her and Alison Brie.

[@chaosinorderrr]

So pretty

[@MedalionDS9]

I already miss seeing Gillian on the weekly basis

[@angievega190]

i love her !!

[@Breeannful]

Great actress!

[@AN-cy7xm]

Love her.

[@theadamblock]

She's my favorite

[@maryswift5441]

I got so excited when I say this in my subscription box! She's great :D

[@theempire00]

haha me too!

[@renatodoho]

Muito amor pela Gillian!

[@thebob01]

Love her

[@georgemiller8370]

SHE IS COOL.

[@TheJereld]

I'd like to see her do more dramatic stuff more.

[@johannbadenhorst4920]

Been seeing a girl that reminds me a lot of her. Trying to muster the courage to tell her how I feel 😬.

[@carcar4425]

Johann Badenhorst did you do it yet

[@xbenng]

6:47 and it continues that way with her role in 'Love'

[@jaipoh]

One date. Just one date with her. 🤔️

[@fiquitoyunque]

For some strange reason, Gillian reminds me of a Cuban-American comedy actress named Ana Margo, who should be in her fifties now, but their physical appearance (from back when Ana appeared in a PBS comedy show named “¿Qué Pasa, USA?) and delivery are quite similar...

[@vincentvincent4898]

I think I might be in love with Gillian. So smart, funny, articulate, down to earth. Beautiful eyes. I'm melting. I would like to have a nice dinner with you, Gillian, and just talk for hours. You make me want to be a gentleman. I hope Hollywood doesn't mess you up. ,

Looking for "An Oversimplification of Her Beauty" to watch. :)

[@alexanderordinary2110]

she's like a younger susan sarandon

[@KushagraaDubeyy]

This maybe just me.. but I think she’s a better and prettier version of Margot Robbie..

[@WiteBot]

It's not just you. Whole heartedly agree. She's got more delicate features

[@KushagraaDubeyy]

@@comedychrises I‘d say, to each their own, that’s why I specified in the original comment that I’m not sure if I’m the only one who thinks like that but I watched the video a little bit again and I can agree to this extent that her features though maybe are more accentuated (broader lips and cheekbones) but I felt a slight clumsiness or lack of complete self assurance in her demeanour this time around which maybe is the only thing that can be ascribed as to why she hasn’t been able to have the success of Margot Robbie, but this is just a specious assumption on my part but for the sake of discussing and comparing visible features, I think it works alright.

[@Bearedd]

They are both attractive in their own unique ways

[@No-Kung-Fu]

@@comedychrises Nice opinion bro. Gillian is prettier to me "on a literal level". She is cuter than Margot, her face is more delicate and her smile is godlike.

[@SennaAugustus]

Arguably, all her new roles are basically Season 1 Britta.

[@NeverNedDead]

nah

[@mamaslillele]

Senna Augustus could t be further form the truth

Only do the kids most trusted of two exact men who created the greatest wealth ever made until I tripled the wealth of everyone else alive. There is nothing I have to hide. To me there will be such a thing as classified

"Is that what drew you to acting, getting away from you?" Lol, dude seriously? That's your opening question?

[@uniflycross]

Dat hers first laugh was weird as shit:)

[@christiansmith7797]

I've given more to charity then anyone who has ever lived. 4.5 quadrillion dollars I've all ready given away freely. Seriously. No reason to lie. I can prove it to anyone I wanted to know it is the truth. Come see me. I great not one but she. The daughter hope I know knows more the. Me

[@kiltworm]

"Son, there's this job...when you're really good at it people will give you, literally, millions of dollars." "What job is that dad?" "Well, son..." *blushing* "You pretend to be other people." "Millions dad? Give me a fucking break. Next you'll tell me that people who can throw a ball really far get paid millions too!" "Yeah...anyway. But teachers, the people who prepare you for all you have in the world, will drive POS hatchbacks, have $20 hair cuts, and own second-hand-everything." "OK Boomer."

[@christiansmith7797]

The smartest women ever alive would never be scared of me once they knew the truth there's no msn more they ever could trust. I know the real secret
