The film I wish my Gay teen self saw: LOVE, SIMON | A chat with Nick Robinson & Katherine Langford!

[@KurtAnderson812]

I’m an old guy (over 50) and when I was in school the thought of even coming out to a friend was unthinkable. To see this story (I’ve seen the movie 4 times already) has been so uplifting and important. We can’t forget how far we have come and how much further we have to go

[@bvespertine]

Kurt Anderson Bless you. Your generation did so much for the community it's unbelievable.

[@DevonDumpling70]

Hi Kurt, same for me. I've not quite hit 50 yet but even though life is great now this film still had such an affect on me. x

[@MaryP227]

I love how Katherine is like “hmm” , “hmmm” constantly. Like she’s totally understanding and feeling what the interviewer is telling them. She just seems very concerned herself #alwaysthinkingsheshellagay 😂🏳️‍🌈

[@markoportuondo7375]

She seems to have Bi sexual vibe. Always seems to be loving around both genders.

[@farmthecorn5652]

I’m 15 and this was insane for me... I related to simon so much

[@FrostyOverwatch]

same here

[@jillianmarie9998]

This is so AMAZING, DOUG!!! I feel such a connection with the cast, they’re all so humble and kind, it makes it that much easier to love the movie when the actors and actresses are just as sincere and genuine as their characters. I’m very happy for you and this opportunity you were given!!

[@doug]

☺️🙏🏻❤️

[@tallactordude]

I think you echo what a lot of us would say about wishing our teenage selves could’ve seen this movie. In my case it wouldn’t have changed the situation I was in that made coming out seem impossible, but just to have been validated and represented would have meant the world.

[@williamsnyder5616]

I'm 70 years old. I have been active in San Francisco's LGBTQ community since I moved here in 1979. I would've loved to have seen a film like this when I was a teenager, but that was a different time. I am overjoyed, though, at the reception for this film. There are still kids who are coming out and deserve the support "Love, Simon" can give.

[@carolineann8196]

I am a current bi teenager, and this movie means so so much to me and all of my friends. We haven't felt represented and now we are starting to be. I watched this movie with my mom and it was so empowering for me to watch a movie about someone like me with my mom, who 110% supports me in every way. (I live in the US so it's been out for a while) My mom is so much like Simon's mom, and I really can't put it into words how loved, accepted, and represented I felt in that moment. 15/10 would recommend this movie and the soundtrack is topnotch

[@doug]

[@laurensmith3346]

This is a solid 10/10 video also what was it like being an extra imma be trying to find u when I watch the film sjsjjs

[@doug]

thank yoooou Lauren! omg it was the funnest day ever on set! take me backkkk ☺️ we were supposed to only be there for half a day but ended up staying so much longer as it was just so much fun to watch it all happening

[@xxkeiraxx5666]

Yesssssss, the perfect interview 💋❣️

[@doug]

thanks so much! glad you enjoyed it :)

[@firesign82]

Just watched this as a lesbian mother with my questioning daughter ..... it touched me unluck any other movie has or could have touched me... as a gay women who was closeted until myblater 20s i coukd have so used this as a teenager!

[@RandomJosh]

Love this! Thank you again for inviting me to the screening last night!

[@doug]

So happy you got to see it buddy! ☺️

[@RandomJosh]

Can't wait to see you again hehe :D

[@PerryPresents]

Love this Doug been lucky enough to have seen love simon four times already and I cannot recommend it enough! A really personal interview well done and thanks for sharing Doug what a great experience very cool!

[@doug]

wowza that's one more than me! haha nice one perry!

[@PerryPresents]

Doug Armstrong Haha yeah I adore it and I could watch it over and over and still smile and cry so much. Also the end of this interview had me all teary eyed as I think my nan would've also loved to have seen this movie if she was still around. It's incredible and respect to you and Greg the director for talking so openly about something so personal. You're right we are very lucky to have a film like this FINALLY here's to hopefully many more like it! :)

[@lucacara5579]

This is sooooo cool Doug ! Super proud of you

[@doug]

ahhh so sweet of you Luca! glad you got to see it early :)

[@lucacara5579]

Doug Armstrong It was such an amazing experience, I couldn’t have seen it without you. I am forever grateful for you giving me this opportunity! I can’t wait to see it again soon 😁❤️

[@SUPERSTUDIO17]

I think Greg perfectly summarized that feeling I've been having some difficulty conveying when I watched the movie in a crowded theatre with so many different types of people (old, young, straight bros, families, etc): "It's validating to see it with a crowd."

[@berr1e5ncrem35]

Late to the comments section. Made a new main KZbin account to go along with my twitch channel (that I haven't been able to do anything with since I've started working since I work nights) and forgot about subscribing to you, you beautiful human! I've been trying to catch up on what content I've missed and as always you're spectacular! Here's to whatever they future may hold and dying gay and alone together!

[@leticia1581]

I loved this interview :D

[@LuisElkes]

Finally watched it tonight and I couldn't stop crying

[@koue89]

You were an extra? Ooh, gotta watch it again now. 🤩

[@doug]

haha yassss! let me know if you spot me!

[@callumdrage5889]

I am so glad to be able to say- my gay teenage self did see this film. I am so happy everyone now can too, no matter what age! 💜

[@HimeeIvy]

Doug i am loving these interviews! and this video has 3 of my favourite people on it! you, katherine and nick x

[@doug]

❤️❤️❤️ aren't they just the sweetest guys!

[@HimeeIvy]

they sure are! ❤️❤️

[@camb99]

I am so hyped for this film, I only found out about it last Friday and it's been one of the slowest weeks of my life waiting for it to come out, and like you, Greg, and so many other people, I am so happy and glad that a film this important has finally been made, and to be educational as well as entertaining I think is so important. Lucky you for getting a background part Doug, I'll be pointing you out to my friends when I see it lol. I have a question that I'm hoping you'll be able to answer, but don't worry if you can't, is the film dedicated to Greg's Mum or did she pass after it was finished being produced? Also sorry about your Dad, but I'm sure that all those people who aren't able to see the film would love it just as much as we all do. Thanks :)

[@doug]

I don't know I'm afraid! but thanks for your kind words :)

[@camb99]

That's okay, I'll watch through the credits and see when I go to see it. Thanks for the reply and your welcome :)

[@stephferguson2355]

[@noisyjodie2]

[@doug]

Good question! No, no spoilers at all :) we don't talk about specific plot points!

[@g_4696]

Yesssss!

[@avery.s7681]

he's the first gay guy in a movie iv'e seen who doesnt act flamboyant

[@DAGuy726]

greg divorced at the end of the interview lmao

[@kieserite]

I thought it was great that they made this film

[@sarayahclark4511]

You were an extra! I watched it three times and didn't see u😭

[@doug]

hahaha I'm quite in the background and only for like 2 seconds so you have to be looking out 😂

[@sarayahclark4511]

Doug Armstrong now I need to watch the movie again to see😂😂

[@kieserite]

Got here when it had 1 view

[@doug]

yasss legend thanks for showing up so rapidly 😏

[@kieserite]

Doug Armstrong no problem I have no life so when my phone screams at me my fat ass teleports over looking for a social life

[@kieserite]

Notice me Doug senpai

[@leanrivera3102]

I really want to watch this movie but I think it's not gonna show in the Philippines because our country is not LGBT friendly ;-;

[@cloudofreverie786]

Emmet Sanders its in theaters now. Its rated R 13 though so I hope youre old enough.

[@leanrivera3102]

Cloud of Reverie Seriously? I am old enough but in our city it isn't showing yet 😭

[@cloudofreverie786]

Emmet Sanders san ka pala nakatira?

[@leanrivera3102]

Cloud of Reverie Zamboanga po 😂

[@cloudofreverie786]

Emmet Sanders aww, Ive been to zambo, sa city? Or sa provinces? Usually SM, Ayala malls lang talaga nagshoshow ang mga lgbt films. Independent malls like mindpro, hindi ko alam. If its not there for a week, then I guess di talaga siya showing diyan. Just wait for the dvd nalang or stream it.

[@Aikuchi]

Im pretty sure its banned in my country .... :(

[@peehcho7759]

Doug do you have a only fans account ??

[@benm6847]

y’all don’t know how frustrating it is when you’re trying to find footage for an edit and they keep cutting back to the interviewer grrr

[@doug]

rude 🤔

[@user-di4rs4jo6l]

Ur comment was two weeks ago but I’m in the same problem also lol, a bit hard to find scenes to cut and edit

[@krissyy9974]

I mean,,,who didn't like love Simon!?

[@aslnerd4924]

Tbh I never thought he was actually gay ☹️😐

[@kieserite]

First?

[@chloebailey8829]

💙💙💙💙💙

[@2987438]

The movie has funny parts.

[@anzan748]

hmm

[@WHAATEVEN]

Is the actor also gay? If not it’s kind of a let down because they could’ve cast a gay actor who has experienced and relates to the issues raised. Idk man

[@doug]

No but the director is gay and so many lgbt people were involved in the film, from many crew on set to all the musicians on the soundtrack... so personally doesn't bother me in the slightest! (plus the character from the book is described as not being camp, so I think Nick was a great choice)

[@williammartin3634]

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

[@TrainNkill]

Great another video about you being gay. Thank god straight people constantly talk about themselves like this.
