When a ten year old uses 'ironic' correctly.

[@galldomain5685]

YouWhat? Ikr. I was so surprised. XD

[@junking7803]

@Robert Hill 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Drumlind11]

YouWhat? Ironic. Ain’t it? 🤣🤣

[@carolewarner101]

Robert Hill don't feel bad, so did Trump!

[@EchoSappho]

Actually he didn't, because irony comes from Greek plays (especially tragedies) where the public is told what's going to happen, but the characters don't know it yet. That's irony. But nowadays we all use it wrong. I blame Morissette.

[@rachelnatener8943]

He already knows how to play to the audience... at age 10

I can't help but hope that things go well for him off camera as well... many child actors and child actresses have done well on camera but have had bad things happen to them off camera due to horrible people...

[@luckyjasonfan]

I had the very same thought! I hope and pray that his parents do their Job and PROTECT him always!

I came here to say the same. a boy that cute is in risk of danger.

I am a big fan of his KZbin channel where he does theatre reviews. He has a real passion and it appears he has great support from his family and the industry. Such a sweet and entertaining kid.

[@EruvieBruinen]

Well I've heard in an interview that he's allowed to be in the business only if he behaves well, kind and humble. Good parenting, I would say :-)

The fact that he's so different from the young Sheldon he plays (so naturally), or the kid in Big Little Lies, is a testament to how good an actor Iain is. This young man is going to go very far in the biz.

[@CandyReviewer4427]

I had the pleasure of meeting Iain at a theatre event last year and he is the sweetest, most down to earth kid I've ever met.

[@garfield2439]

I adore how he so politely addresses adults. He is just and awesome young man.

yess he ALWAYS calls them "mr" and "miss"

Iain is the perfect actor to play Young Sheldon. I am so impressed by him. He has the stage presence of a veteran actor.

I saw this actual show four years ago… And I never forgot it because Iain was such a delight to watch and listen to.

[@batintheattic7293]

Awww... Just Awww... Lovely, sweet little boy! Why can't they stay like that?! I watch this and I, inexplicably, start crying and I have an overwhelming urge to cuddle a little boy but mine is now a terse and grunting teenager and, anyway, he's at college right now... I'm going to have to ambush him when he comes home. Too weird? Okay, where's the cat?

[@tq7821]

Lol Ur adorable and many relate :)

[@insomniajones]

A Terse and grunting teenager....lmao. I remember those years.

[@bethe192]

they come back around, they do! mine are 28 and 26 and still apologize to me for their 16 and 18 yr old selves! LOL Remember me when your son becomes a delight again. And he will, I promise. And yes, hug him to pieces when he's home. I promise you he loves it - and YOU. Best to you!!

[@OldRaver]

Cat? Only one? THERE’S your problem!! As soon as my son hit terse and grunty years I upped the animal quotient to compensate.. 2 cats, 2 dogs. Totally works!!

[@EchoSappho]

I agree with Elisse. I stopped hugging my mom as a teenager. Now I'm a grown 26 year old who's taller and heavier than her mom who sits on her mom's lap and hugs her. (She filled those years without hugs with a cat too)

[@revinhatol]

FACT: Iain Armitage would have been the fourth voice of Boots the Monkey in _Dora and Friends: Into the City!_ had it been greenlit for Season 3.

He’s the next Neil Patrick Harris. Google his work with Johnny Carson at this age. He does great magic tricks and is as composed as this young man. Wow-It was MR. Colbert, MISS Streep...delightful young man. I need to get my grandkids to watch this!

[@michaelpoyntz774]

I think his talent range far exceeds Neil's! Lots of respect for both , but I get the distinct feeling Iian's intellect is significantly beyond most! . I don't know any 6 year old who had 16k fans on his own Broadway Review You Tube show! Maturity to age I would put him along side the young Shirley Temple.

[@rosepeck9986]

Two things that Young Sheldon and Ian have in common: 1.They are both awe inspiring. 2. You would call each of them 'a genius'.

[@arabian8873]

Jacob Tremblay. Take lessons. Although jake is a sweet kid but I don't know, I don't want to say anything mean about a kid cuz they are kids but... Better to stay silent. All I'm ganna say is that Iain Armitage is the most amazing kid I've ever seen on TV. He is incredibly put-together and nice and also extremely talented. I really really really hope that you won't let Hollywood ruin you but I have a feeling that it won't. You seem mature, even for your age.

[@georgenorris2657]

He is really and always in character. Such a smart kid :)

[@Loophole23742]

He is nothing like sheldon. Sheldon is quite childlike and young Sheldon behaves like a little man.its even in the fucking song. The actor behaves how he things a genius would behave as a child. I have never seen young Sheldon discuss comic books, show any interest in comic con, play video games, oh and adult Sheldon is adorable, innocent and never is intentionally rude he just lacks social skills and is socially awkward and was used to being by himself. Never get any of that from young Sheldon. He never stops fucking talking, is intentionally rude, disrespectful even to adults and is a pompous smart ass. The real life actor is also a smart ass so that is where the character gets it from. Real Sheldon the Sheldon that existed before meeting Leonard and getting used to hanging out with Leonard's friends who eventually became his friends was so socially awkward he would look down to the floor and avoid keeping eye contact with people he is talking to. Also he is autistic, hence his classic 3 door knocks. Young Sheldon does none of this. You guys just say he is so fucking good because you think he is cute and you think he's cute because he is a child who acts like an adult. This little kid's portrayal of Sheldon is fucking sinister. He lacks emotion adult Sheldon smiles a lot just often at things others wouldn't necessarily be amused by. He is not grumpy like this little shit. Adult Sheldon is robotic but in a c3po kind of way. Young Sheldon is more like Arnie's Terminator or the T1000. He's fucking creepy. I can't stand the kid that plays him and think the show ruins the character. The actor that plays him is the first child I've seen on TV that I wish I could punch in the stomach. The reason I say he ruins the character is because the way he behaves can completely change our perspective of adult Sheldon. I no longer feel sorry for adult Sheldon when he talks of being bullied because the young Sheldon character makes out that Sheldon was a pompous obnoxious shit and therefore deserved every fucking beating. The way he behaves as a kid he's lucky that he even survived. If I met a kid like him when I was at school I would have humbled him real fast and probably traumatised the cocky little shit.The sheldon from Big Bang was picked on because he was different. Socially awkward and a nerd just like Peter Parker from spider man not because he provoked others by looking down on them and being fucking rude. Young Sheldon is even rude to his mother in any culture in any part of the world that is practically punishable by death or at least a good fucking beating. What I'm talking about becomes more apparent when you watch the 2 shows back to back. The only thing young Sheldon takes from proper Sheldon is the fact that he is a genius but there are none of sheldon's characteristics or any of his personality that carries over to the spin off show. When you watch Big Bang afterwards Sheldon seems retarded by comparison because of how childlike he is and how unaware he is of what is going on around him. Little Sheldon is sharp as a tack. Too sharp in fact. He's practically a cyborg. Proper Big Bang theory Sheldon looks like he had brain damage or a serious accident when compared to how he is portrayed in young Sheldon and people say the little kid is perfect in the role.😂😂😂 I would of preferred if they used ageing technology to show a 15 year old Jim parson playing young Sheldon then we would of seen his mannerisms and Sheldon in Big Bang has a lot of mannerisms. Young Sheldon is wooden. He's practically Pinocchio. The actor that plays him acts like he has had Botox or Parkinson's because his face barely moves just his mouth and his eyes.

[@pranabray8258]

@@Loophole23742 Man why are you so rude?

[@leonnn.05]

@@Loophole23742 did u know that young sheldon was supposed to be more arrogant? The whole point was to have a completely different personality from adult sheldon to see how and when young sheldon from being slightly rude and confident turn into someone who's socially awkward and shy. That disproved your entire argument and even shows that Ian the actor for young shelon has played his role flawlessly.
