A joy to see you, Jimmy 🙏🏾

I can't wait!

Yooooooo P ❤❤❤

[@MariaGalanis]

@pharrell you're amazing! bought your lego, i'm a big doodles supporter and lover, too! you are a creative genius!!

[@ScottThePisces]

Man please come out with your own "Jeen Yuhs" style documentary of your career. The fans wanna see all the real footage of those times. You and Chad are an inspiration to so many.

[@Wallflowerpm]

It’s never too late whether you’re 8 or 80. Now is better than never. 😭 😭 😭 I love him so much !

[@konteoumar6092]

I agree. this is priceless and needed Ed from a musician 😢😢

[@JBirdBlackCrow]

Yeah that hit me too! I have way to many hobbies that I'm good at to think I'm to old to not make them a life changing reality! I needed this!

[@Moes_Prep_and_Tech]

It doesn't matter to him because this is a Vampire, He don't age, lol

[@TekForce]

I watched this movie and cried several times because as an artist you can relate to the passion it feels to make what you truly love and it was so relatable to me.

[@beckyo6858]

Would this be ok for a child to watch my son loves Lego and it looks so interesting

[@TekForce]

@@beckyo6858 it's really kind of walk through his life. So there are fun light-hearted parts, that go through his childhood. As he goes through adulthood however, he talks about social issues, like the black lives matter movement, and different vices and struggles he's had as well. So depending on how old your son is, just know that it's not all the way family friendly, but it's still an excellent watch.

[@djpham1]

I Love Pharrell's gratitude. I'm working on being more grateful because it has so many amazing benefits.

[@olivergarrick1175]

[@melleydee]

The Roots have been with Jimmy for so so long and I'd love to see some more about them as individuals... I miss that keyboard guy when he did his sorry notes when they'd zoom in on his face haha that was the best, they are so talented

[@motherlove202]

That's James. He does that on Fridays when Jimmy writes his weekly thank you notes

[@olihhayes]

They're featured in the show pretty often, mostly when they play games

[@huffhouse2]

James Poyser is an incredible musician and songwriter. You should look him up. He's probably been involved in something you absolutely love, and you didn't even know it.

[@melleydee]

@@huffhouse2 this excites me greatly! Thank you so much for sharing

[@IsaiPR]

For sure. I’m feigning for some more Black Thought content too

[@kornsin]

Being "Lego'd" to me is the equivalent of being "Muppet'd" or sonically being "Weird Al'd". I absolutely feel his understanding of being known for not what you can give but others can appreciate.

[@sarahvenable4710]

Yes!!!

[@alewisscott]

"Now is better than never!" Beautiful words and a great inspiration. Pharrell is awesome!

[@RayfieldA]

This has to be one of the most Powerful interviews I've ever seen. I've always known of Pharrell but I've never seen him in an interview. I'm feeling So impacted and I relate to what he said. 🙆🏾‍♂🙌🏾

[@patriciapatriciagray-thorp9574]

Wow.....he is 51 years of age! He is ageless....🎉🎉🎉

[@morbidmanmusic]

He looks his age.

[@fbh1457]

​@@morbidmanmusic its not true

[@Anne-ku3lj]

Yea he looks like a 50 year old black man. Would look younger with a bit more weight on his face. Love him forever.

[@fbh1457]

@@Anne-ku3lj Ist 🆗

[@Dev1nci]

Pharrell literally just told the roots an intro riff and then, okay you do everything else 😂😂

[@directedby5759]

it's Jimmy's horrible planning....he sets everything up as if it's this spontaneous magical moment but it's just basically a rushed sketch...and even though it would've been cool if he just introduced it as leading into the song instrument by instrument, he tries to sell it like in the title "create a song piece by piece"...which isn't at all what they did

[@Dev1nci]

@@directedby5759 Yeah none of it’s improv and Pharrel is definitely a musical leader, it’s just this specific detail that I thought was funny. Still entertaining though 😄

[@dakotac180]

Seems like such a sweet chill human. My mom always says now is the best time and you can do anything at any age (she is a nurse). I hold these statements to be so true. I love him automatically making roots do a song.

[@johannapaulinotaveras1587]

This documentary cheered me up as an English student, because it's sometimes frustrating not being able to understand a movie or show, but the language they used was excellent, I loved it, thank you very much, may you continue to be successful, God bless you.

[@TyB1280]

His voicemail analogy was awesome. Hats off to you sir - I completely understand now 😎

[@Stephanie1Jackson]

I love Jimmy Fallon. But @Pharrell, as a fellow musician, you really inspired me here. Thank you! 🙏🏼 ❤

[@natasha-js]

My main takeaway from this was: Pharrell Williams is 51???

[@janelle9707]

Damn!

[@nezzyt4409]

I knew he wasn't as young as he looked but didn't realize he was 51. That's wild!

[@reeree5259]

51?!?!??

[@larrymarshall8900]

He looks like he's 35 not 51 damn black don't crack at all.

[@chriscabiling4118]

He has a few videos circulating where he takes skin care super seriously :)

[@SamuelOsereme-jv6zm]

Pharrell is One of my favorites❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@Cuttleb]

I felt such joy and major goosebumps when Pharrell shared knowledge with us. I feel inspired 🥰 Can't wait to see the documentary!

[@Leticia-fh6rf]

I have always loved Pharell

[@Goatchild90]

That part about hearing an hour of your own voicemails puts a new spin on musicians seeing/hearing themselves all the time (esp the popular ones, that aren't egomaniacs anyway)

[@maikdmann]

Every time when I feel fear of doing what I love I will just watch this interview

[@olivergarrick1175]

Piece by piece is an incredible record im excited about this film cant wait to listen to the colourful soundtrack.

[@vyralwd]

Found out about the movie through this interview and saw it today. Loved it. Could see several people grooving in their seats during the movie. Such an energetic and fun soundtrack. I had no idea how many people collaborated with Pharrell over the years. Thanks Pharrell and Jimmy!

[@malloreeboone]

he speaks with so much passion ugghhhhh I love!!

[@Stephan__o.x]

Pharrell is smart. Somehow through that Lego toy he will be immortalised

[@morbidmanmusic]

Because all the thousands of hours of Media didn't already do that.

[@trinitron_1453]

The "Yes Sir''s are so respectful

[@jonho7]

Pharrell is a proper good guy. Fantastic spirit. Need more people like him in this world. Absolute legend.

[@YoshiBugatti]

Nice work, Pharrell. You are inspirational, hopefully to us all!

[@pedrorjx6]

I love how he is always talking to the crowd and including them at the conversation

[@patriciapatriciagray-thorp9574]

Big fan of Pharrall Williams .... he is so gifted🎉🎉🎉 music, clothing, design...creator🎉🎉🎉

[@katesmith884]

piece by piece is genuinely one of the best movies i have ever seen

[@mztscrazytown1463]

can't wait to see this legomentary!

[@dx_1]

Here's a song we totally didn't plan in advance lol. The band were just making up a melody, Pharrell basically did nothing but count them in 😂

[@ninja780-hh]

Bravo!! This film is what people, especially people of young age, need these days! It shows that someone who is "gifted", is not automatically successful. The factor is the effort, the desire for challenge and to cope with and capitalize on setbacks = Growth Mindset!

[@colinholland3963]

Yeah, so well rehearsed. Marketing is magical.

[@ModPhreak]

Lego is so great and the company is also really good, not only as a Danish person, but having used it since early childhood.

[@assatawells8224]

What a wonderful human being. What a BEAUTIFUL , HUMBLE SOUL❤

[@SharonShin-i4o]

Awesome interview with Pharrell Williams!! Can't wait to see the movie!!!

[@lloydlee5905]

@pharrell, as a young dude growing up i always the swag and the music its definitely unique and i understand the thought given to every track.

[@SVUE-jj9jc]

This is cool. I always been a fan of this dude. Crazy talented 👏

[@everwicked]

Pharrell never seizes to make me emotional as a kid who was raised on music and it being a dream he is someone who I can relate I don't come from the fanciest background but I dont take anything for granted. And him being so humble and uppy all the time really resonates with my soul and being a genuine human. Thank you pharrell

[@lynetteminute]

Some sentiment I needed to hear right now. Will be checking out the doc too, leave it to Pharrell to put a fresh spin on something.

[@TheMalcolms7]

"HUMILITY" Tis my favourite character trait of all ❤

[@jordanfarrar4890]

Pharrell is awesome! Does lots of work in the community for kids without cameras just to be seen. My guy is a real one!

[@LeahTVdotcom]

@ 4:28 mins he coins a phrase ‘Now is better then never’ Pharrell Williams 🔥🎼✍🏾🕉 this should be a mantra. Took my 9 year old 🎉 to see Piece by Piece in Hawaii he gave it a 8. 😂 rating . I love it🎥🎼🎬. To all the creatives on the film , a evolution in story telling. 😱 mahalo and meric. Leah Tunkara
