[@CWazBroadwayBandGeek]

Lily is the most adorable, humble, down to earth person on this planet. Love her to bits. 👸🏼❤️

[@EB_TaylorSwiftFan]

Me too. She is SO adorable!

Anyone else notice that Lily snorts when she laughs?! 😂 It's so cute!

Lily snorting when she laughs 😂😂😂

[@lovingweirdo4727]

Unicorn Believerxox It's the most beautiful laugh in the world😭😍So cute!!!❤️

[@EB_TaylorSwiftFan]

She’s adorable

[@jecka1982]

First film I've seen Lily James in and I've got to say from the moment she stepped on the screen I adored her. Shes gorgeous and so charismatic. She carries so much energy. She did a wonderful job as young Donna. She gives good interviews also. Love her and Amanda together!

[@jeffh06]

😂 Lily’s snort so dang adorkable!😁❤️ love her personality😂

[@oliviar9391]

This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen with Lily. You asked her original and unique questions. She seemed so comfortable with you. Well done !

[@theguardian3431]

If her only flaw is the way she snorts when she laughs, it's cute, and she's still perfect! Lol

[@EB_TaylorSwiftFan]

Of course she’s perfect. She’s Lily James!

[@arielle]

I love MAMA MIAAAAAA

[@RiyadhK]

I still need to see the new one! This weekend maybe x

[@oldmutt1427]

Sorry to burst your little balloon. Maybe you should be thinking about how Meryl Streep gave a standing ovation for pedophile Roman Polanski at the Oscars. Not just her but many others. And her long relationship with Harvey Weinstein. And she has the hypocrisy to say "times up". Are you people idiots. Have you any idea the amount of abuse not just of women but young men and children goes on in Hollywood. It is one of the most occultic places on earth. I don't care what you think of me. Just keep that bucket of concrete on your heads. You don't think I know or had friends there who told me what goes in. Let me inform you. Actors like to befriend real military veterans. It makes them look good. And when they do they tell us many things in private. Wake up you fools.

[@jecka1982]

Old Mutt are you done? Now leave and shut the door on your way out. You're bursting our bubble with your negativity

YAYAYYA ITS MY FAV MOVIE

[@jessicawesthues5071]

Well... I just saw Mamma Mia 2 and I'm not quite sure how to put my emotions into words. I won't spoiler, though, so feel free to keep reading even if you haven't seen the movie (I think that no matter what stage of knowledge you're at, we all know that Meryl doesn't have a lot of screen time, so I don't consider that a spoiler!). I didn't know what to expect. Mamma Mia is one of my favourite movies of all times and it holds a very special place in my heart. As we have all seen countless bad or semi-bad (slash repetitive!) sequels, I wasn't sure what to think when I heard they were making a sequel / prequel to the ultimate feel-good musical movie of 2008, especially when I found out Meryl's part wouldn't be very large (that is not a spoiler ;)!). So I drove to the cinema tonight thinking I might hate it, or be disappointed, or like it, but that it would certainly not be as good as the first and NEVER EVER hold the place in my heart that the first one does. But now, I'm not so sure... Of course the film has too little Meryl in it for my liking (and probably most of you, too), but that is not the point. That cannot be the only reason you judge a film (in my opinion anyway). Besides the fact she's hardly in it (and Lily seems to have brown eyes, not Meryl's lovely piercing blue ones; also, not a spoiler!) I cannot find anything wrong with this movie. I'm pretty sure, looking at it from a movie critic's view (which I'm not, so forgive me), it will receive better reviews and probably will be considered by many as the "better" film (although everyone may have their own opinion about that). I'll just say - because I don't want to spoil it for the people who haven't seen it yet - it's deeper. Much, much deeper. Mamma Mia was a party. The greatest, most vibrant party I have ever seen, with people leaving movie theaters skipping and singing. This movie covers the day after the party, and the day before, and all the ones inbetween. It's about growing up, friendships, love, heartbreaks, family, relationships and - most importantly - motherhood & the bond between a parent and their child. I don't think anyone who is a parent, or a sister or a daughter, could walk out of this movie without having shed a couple of tears (personally, I bawled for the last 10 minutes straight). It's heartbreaking, and emotional... and so very, very true. But most of the time, it is actually hilarious to the point where you start crying because you're laughing so much. I won't name any particular scenes (I promised, no spoilers), but I haven't seen a movie that made me laugh so much for a very long time. So thank you. Thank you Ol, Judy, Gary, Catherine, Phyllida, Richard, Rita and Tom. Thank you Christine, Pierce, Dominic, Alexa, Colin, Andy, Lily, Jessica, Amanda, Stellan, Julie, Cher and - my love and my whole life - Meryl. But most of all, thank you to ABBA, to Benny, Björn, Agnetha and Anni-Frid for these songs. Nothing like this would have ever been possible without your work. Nothing touches our soul quite like music. So thank you. Thank you for the music ❤

[@mariafernandap4681]

Jessica Westhues Thank you for this❤️❤️

[@jessicawesthues5071]

Maria Fernanda P you're very welcome!

[@harshmnr]

Aah your comment alone almost made me tear up. 😣 But I saw the movie as well and also loved it. ❤ ~:~

[@ItsBrianaB]

Omg Lily is so sweet!!! She’s like genuinely so down to earth!!

[@molly_agspor7557]

If I met Meryl Streep/Cher I don’t think I would cry I think I would actually PASS ON to the next realm

[@sophxx183]

molly_agspor I would be quite happy to die after meeting meryl. My life would be complete

[@nightowl8477]

Donna is such a good character. Wasn't too confident in an actor playing her who isn't Meryl, but she looks like she'll be pretty good, actually.

[@sampabua4653]

nightowl saw the movie, she was fantastic

[@Iris-bz8jh]

Love her little snort when she laughs :D

[@belizeguy]

This is wonderful !

[@demeko96]

I can't believe you interviewed Lily James!!! that's like my two favorite people right here on screen! you're the best ♥ ♥

[@alliecatstrikes]

Lily James is perfect.

[@17pinksoda]

Ahhh lily is so humble and stunning.. the best interview dont want it to end! Wished you asked about her 3 boyfriends from the film. Just subscribed! 👌

[@RiyadhK]

Every time you upload I get so excited I’m not even going to lie 😂

[@RiyadhK]

I should do it more often then

[@liberty1892]

Riyadh K absolutely!

[@lma.9735]

She was absolutely amazing as young Donna, they did a great job in casting her, characters like young Donna are actually very hard to portray and might seem a bit awkward and cringy if someone couldn't play it well, but Lily did a fantastic job, she was a ray of sunshine.

[@chivakaksreang7861]

She smashed it, as Young Donna

[@gastllyxo]

Musicals have always been such an important bond between my mother and I and you best BELIEVE we went nuts over Mamma Mia 2. Lily James served us spot on Meryl/Donna. And the FASHION in the movie too, god. Brb, I'll be hiding in my sewing corner for the next few months redoing my wardrobe.

[@elenatsvetkova9113]

Riyadh is such a talented, natural interviewer. The whole interview seems effortless as if two friends have known each other for a while now. Lily is gorgeous and just absolutely charming. Loved every second.

[@user-bs8xx3rg7f]

Im adicted to Mama Mia here we go again. Lily James was brilliant ❤

[@xxmiadalyxx5489]
