My Worst Audition: Brie Larson

I don't get why some marvel fans dislike Brie, but I love her. She's beautiful, quick-witted and funny, her sense of humor is well polished. She's simply adorable. The first time I've seen her was in 21 jump street, and from then I was blown away by her, she is very talented. if you can't understand her playfulness, you'd think shes a Prude, stuck up or too serious. if you can make her laugh, you've won. Seriously, if she can hang with Samuel L Jackson, and Robert Downey Jr, without being left confused by their nonchalant, (again I say) quick-witted and funny bantering, then she's cool in my book. congratulations to her on a job well done. go get em, Captain Marvel. #bless

[@RageDaug]

If you get her and understand her, then I'm sure you would like her, but as to why some folks don't (marvel fans or not) is because she's socially awkward and still acts like that 7 year old version of herself sometimes, overthinking certain situations and taking those situations way more seriously than those situations deserve. Some folks who don't have the social struggles Brie has have a difficult time relating to her, failing to understand why she acts the way she does, suspecting there must be ulterior motives.

[@jnobull45]

@Ragedaug I agree with you for the most part, I think she can come off as socially awkward at times, so do I. honestly, i think that she is the type of person that you would have to get to know on a personal level, just to understand what she's really all about, every interview is different, it really depends on the interaction between the celebrity and the interviewer. Keep in mind, that she's young and the only experienced she really has in life is working, being an actress, as far as her social skills, she doesn't have that (quote on quote) regular social life. it's difficult in my opinion, to always be a shining star, perfect or have a particular image every single day, everywhere you go. As an actress/ actor, you can't turn it off, because one wrong fraze,gesture or an itchy nose can be taken out of context, and the tabloids has you got lunch , negativity picking you apart like vultures. long story short, she's a very lovable person in my opinion ,she's a great actress and I appreciate her work. Thank you for shedding some light on the subject, because I think people really need to talk about the good things that she does as a person then talk about the good things she does as an actress. I really respect the work that she does and I rather try to see her and understand her as a person and not just a entertainment piece. #Bless

[@RageDaug]

@@jnobull45 I would definitely concede that. She rubbed me the wrong way in the first few interviews I saw her in, as the smiles seemed forced and the other actors with her did not seem to be enjoying themselves as much as they normally do. But the more I see her the more it was apparent to me that she's in a very awkward space and has difficultly relaying that to people. Her audition story seems to give credence to my suspicion. I know people like that who are close to me and have to explain to other people why they don't hate or dislike them, they just tend to express themselves very poorly. So long story short, I'm warming up to her the more I see her, and hope for her that she can find a way to be more relaxed in these settings.

[@jnobull45]

@@RageDaug indeed, and I think most fans, at some point felt confused about her presentation in her interviews. She got some back last for a statement she made awhile ago, and i think that still weighs heavy on her.

[@jnobull45]

@@RageDaug well, look at it this way, Marvel knew exactly what they were doing when they added Brie to the cast. I think her main markets genres are horror, action and comedy, She shouldn't invest herself into romance and drama right now, and I do mean for a few years. This is the time for her to display her personality, and those genres will bring that out, on the big screen.

[@CobyYollis]

I hope she returns in Community's sixth season.

[@annilovesu]

Oh, Carol.

[@FireCracker3240]

OMG! Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out! I LOVE Shel Silverstein. I absolutely adored him as a child, with my favorite book being "Where the Sidewalk Ends" (although I thoroughly did enjoy "A Light in the Attic" as well). His books really installed in me a love of reading and writing that has stayed with me to this day. Also, thanks to him, I realized that, as a child with a crazy dreamer's imagination, I was always welcome in his world - and what a grand place to be. :-)

[@idadudenmanner]

Look up Shel Silverstein's "Freakin At The Freakers Ball". Before he was a beloved childhood poet/author he was a wild 60's musician who played with Dr. Hook (the guys who did "On The Cover of The Rolling Stone"). I recommend "Polly in a Porny" or maybe just the title track, "Freakin at the Freakers Ball". When I first discovered the album I was appalled... Then I couldn't stop laughing for hours.

[@leo-vr4yr]

She sounds like grace helbig

[@malinavnoronha]

she can remember a monologue from when she was six I can't even remember what I ate TODAY

[@brianj4090]

Fav one so far. I love her. If y’all haven’t seen short term 12 please go watch it. One of my all time fav films.

[@Fruitymintswirl3012]

[@jacobs4363]

Captain Marvel. ‘Nuff said

[@maddyhall4171]

I didn't know who she was before I started watching this but now I'm in love

[@idadudenmanner]

I love that her childhood monologue for auditions is a poem from Shel Silverstein's album "Freakin' At The Freakers Ball", an album that includes such amazing songs such as "Polly in a Porny" & "Stacey Brown's Got Two!" (The latter referring to Stacey Brown having two penises...). Not your average childhood Shel Silverstein... A great album though.

[@c0llapsingst4rs]

Why the hell is this being recommended to me now, in 2019. It was made like 5 years ago- wtf KZbin.

[@kristintripp967]

She *finally* got to recite her monologue!!

[@BazTheStoryteller]

"Sarah Stout wont forget to take the garbage out" reminds me of The Simpsons episode where the trash can in the kitchen keeps getting filled up with garbage and whoever overflows it, has to take it out. Homer stupidly knocks it over. MARGE: I heard that! You know the rule! HOMER: Ohhhhhhh........... but I can rebuild.

[@AirQuotes]

Baz The Storyteller I keep trying to implement that rule on my house but no one will go for it

[@ginger3467]

shes very pretty!!!

[@McFrozenNuggets]

This is why I find her cute. I often see myself in her.

[@MalcomXlax]

Wow that's a cute monologue. It's so great to see someone who makes it big, despite the odds. For every Brie Larson there are 10,000 acting hopefuls who do just as much work but just aren't beautiful enough. Dem's the breaks, kiddo ;)

[@michaelsix9684]

you have to be or have a quality they want, you have to pop on camera, you know it when you see it, I did auditions and when you bomb you know it, I was always shocked when I did get a role, it didn't happen often

[@shanswiss1216]

"I think it was for like, a fish stick" I fucking died. Brie Larson is hilarious

[@SavedByGrace_CitizenEmperorユウ]

Honestly, I have been watching 50 or so videos of Brie here on youtube. I'm not sure I would have recognized her on this video without somebody telling me it's her (she told that story in her own youtube video, so I knew it already). It is possible that I'm simply not used to how she looked and was in her earlier years, because I basically only knew her from Room and that I watched 5 years ago and never again and even after loving the movie, I never watched any interview with her (because I don't care much about that stuff) and the other movies I saw her in she had just small roles.

[@roxiemoxie66]

Brie looks and appears different than in her later interviews. Yes, it was 8 years ago. But she wasn't a star back then. I'm glad that she got more confident and more people know her. I like her better with blonde hair. She's really lovely, funny, intelligent, talented and I love listening to her. She seems like a friendly person.
