He’s underrated but super talented ❤

[@chayo4537]

Damn right ❤

[@radiogirl85]

Just finished Dahmer. Wow…dark, terrifying and brilliant. Evan deserves all the awards possible.

[@joycegibbs5267]

Evan gives his all to every part. Brilliant actor.

[@drawingwithclary7788]

He reminds me a bit of Johnny Depp in interviews, he has this humbleness and shyness to him. ☺️

[@dextermoore278]

Exactly 💯 💯 THAT is exactly what I was thinking. Evan is his generation's Johnny Depp. Both men are extremely talented and versatile.

[@sarahseiderer3357]

We can notice how much of an impact his darker roles had on him. I just wish him the best and a lot of light for the future and his career🌞. Love him ❤

[@duckz2528]

I really want him to get a role in a romantic comedy. 😭😭

[@WayneBerg]

*EVAN PETERS IS FINE AF.*

[@GwynneBloodgood]

I appreciate the interviewer's intelligent and insightful questions, and you can tell she put Evan at ease

[@babyshark154]

she is an amazing host

[@Scorpia161]

With her cute jumpsuit and sour gummy worms 😊

[@baldielou8504]

He absolutely falls into the trope of sunny, wholesome artist that makes the most horrifying art 😂 fantastic performance and I hope he's able to decompress after such an intense project!

[@emilyrose9004]

One of the few who leave me speechless with his performances.

[@fan-hm9dh]

his curls are soo pretty

[@SviraSvi]

Yeah they are so freaking adorable

[@klm4446]

I want to see him in a well written comedy. ❤

[@samantharush1215]

I grew up in a city just south of Milwaukee and I remember my parents watching the trial on TV and they got most of everything right.. I know it was hard but Evan Peters was the right person to play this role

[@kaileighgenaille2584]

He has me hooked! Outstanding performance on Dahmer and many other tv shows and movies he has worked on. So pumped to see what he will accomplish next!🥳

[@SviraSvi]

Me too!!! It's all so exciting to see what will come next for him :) Beyond the next Tron movie of course :)

[@user-ig4un3ug3t]

Evan Peters is such a talented actor !! I have never seen this level of acting! Amazing work for “Mare of Easttown”. Absolutely mind blowing performance for Dahmer series 👏🏼👏🏼 masterpiece acting in all his projects 👏🏼 And also Evan is such a nice and humble person ❤️

[@janetkorsak]

I cried when I watched that episode. (Mare of Eastown.)

[@Zer-il9wc]

I would like to suggest him take some time for himself. He killed the role he played but after seeing this interview I see a lot of damage.

[@SviraSvi]

He's taking some time off right now, visiting family in St. Louis :) He deserves to decompress and take a breath for sure!

[@Rufus..Calhoun]

we adore him!!!! brilliant & witty and fun.

[@dieu5041]

That role must have took a lot out of him, I don’t know him but to play such a character takes a toll on one’s psyche.

[@ericnelson9111]

I wish she would have asked if the mannequin scene was difficult for him. LOL

[@oliviah7411]

Evan Peters and Ryan Murphy are outstanding together.

[@nicoleeverett1696]

Truly one of the most talented underrated actors out there in the game right now. He pours his heart and soul into every role he plays. I also love his social awkwardness in interviews lol.

[@andrianamaria_portoula8669]

He seems like a sweet, down-to-earth person and I really love how well-spoken he is. He deserves every award that comes his way. His performance as Dahmer was mindblowing and that dedication was really impressive. Also, he needs to smile more often cause every time he smiles his whole face radiates this beautiful energy...✨️💕

[@Meimoonei]

Poor Evan you can tell the dahmer series really took a toll on him not easy to go into such a dark mindset for many months evan did pheonomenal deserves so many awards

[@em_mkay]

Evan Peters is a goated actor. I’ve loved him since his role in the office. His roles in American Horror Story, especially Tate and Kai are mind blowing. I can’t wait to see what projects he’ll be a part of in the future. His level of acting is one that most actors can’t reach, only actors i’ve seen on the same level as him are Christian Bale and Jake Gyllenhaal.

[@dextermoore278]

Evan Peters reminds me of a young Johnny Depp. They are both very handsome men who like to play crazy characters, instead of the typical Leading Man Roles. They are both shy and humble.

[@samanthadavis2892]

Evan is so wonderful and great. I am so damn proud of him such amazing performances Evan has done all the praise he is getting for the dahmer performance is well deserved can't wait for more great projects Evan will be apart of.

[@Blondebabe1492]

So talented. He’s the best & most underrated actor

[@SviraSvi]

Thank you so much for talking to him :)

[@TheOneNOnlyJLN]

One of my favorite actors ❤ so talented in so many ways and so damn fine! 🥰 You can tell he’s so humble and a good person!

[@TomboyAnaya2002]

Evan Peters Is My Acting Inspiration

[@artxlover123]

This video isn’t long enough tbh I miss his precious face😢

[@Funnylittleman]

I loved this series. Evan did an incredible job. I hate that the whole thing was kinda overshadowed by silly controversy on Twitter.

[@Amethyst93xo]

Evan is an Incredibly talented actor ❤ I admire his work ethic

[@nanda_mad]

hes so fine i love him 😭

[@chloe_dups7]

Incroyable cette interview!! Evan est si captivant quand il parle. On sent qui est fière de parler de ce qu’il a fait… Sa fait plaisir de le voir sourire après tout sa. Courage a lui, et on l’adore ❤️

[@LylaRox]

It’s always so exciting to root for such a talented actor and follow his career trajectory. He deserves the best roles and I hope to see more of him. Whether it’s an AHS role, or as a serial killer, or a detective, and now as former love interest of a pop star (Ariana Grande’s video) he always gives it his all and his talent just jumps through the screen! He’s now been awarded an Emmy and a Golden Globe. I wish him the best in his career and hope to see so much more of him!

[@alexxjovo]

He was insanely gorgeous as DAHMER. He’s gorgeous period but wooooowww. I watch DAHMER every day. I wish I could meet Evan soooooooo baaaaadddddd

[@axmerica4218]

Which ep does he look the best in?!? And is also not so traumatic lol

[@SviraSvi]

@@axmerica4218 Personally I think he looks amazing as Dahmer in the early 90's before he got caught. Which means mainly the first two episodes and also episode 6. Perhaps the first episode is actually the least traumatic, but it's still haunting and chilling. Most of the episodes are quite traumatic. Guess that's one of the many reasons why merely the thought of watching this series turns off so many people... I do think they miss out on a lot if they skip past this true, haunting and sad story.... I know it's a hard watch, but still. It stays with you for a long, long time and makes you think alot.

[@jcny-dm5yy]

Evan is so incredible actor😍

[@mattlawrence1932]

Everyone & i mean everyone killed it in this show even the tiny side characters were exactly on point to the capital T in every single way with the real ppl & it showed all the timelines that all the Dahmer films never did especially his time in prison which is something anyone familiar with this fucked up story that lived with it for years but never got to see everything because as fucked up as this story is....its still incredibly mind-blowing otherwise u wouldn't be reading this & obviously & they wouldn't of made it into a entire show & it definitely wouldn't be as famous as it is if it wasn't a actual true story & anyone that talks shit about it is a complete hypocrite cuz they still wanted to obviously watch it didn't they???? The sick morbid fascination in ppl is obvious & this is proof & its the most realistic real life fucked up horror story you'll probably ever hear about!!!!! Jeff actually made it to the #3 spot on the list of most evil ppl in all of human history after Stalin & Hitler so obviously everyone is going to be intrigued about it 💯

[@rebeccao8895]

The series focused so much on how dahmer’s victims ‘didn’t matter’ because they were mostly non-white and gay. That message got lost somehow.
