[@maleficentmills]

the fact that he really tried to be diplomatic with some answers but then straight up said he doesn't like drake's house immediately is sending me

[@connormacgregor1531]

He didn’t hold his picture up either🤣

[@michaelr5100]

Sending you where?

[@higormarcelino]

LMAO! He definitely tought they'll show The Weeknd's photo when the question about bad acting came up

[@higormarcelino]

you can clearly see he was relief the both times it wasn't the weeknd's photo

[@creak22]

LEGIT TRUE

[@luprsil]

HE WAS SHAKING 😂😂😂

[@earthtorobert]

In general I think it's the script that got theses folks effed up, I mean in Idol

[@emilym9390]

he looked so grateful that it wasn’t 😭😭

[@fromRaissaMarielle]

the way he pulls up the photos every time it's handed to him and the photo shakes it cracks me tf up 😭

[@lauren6992]

lmaoo he was stressin😭

[@kathleenchild]

I think he thought some of the questions were stupid 😅

[@ritabekceli7561]

It’s the KZbinr in him lol

[@arianapuzzo7827]

omg I didn't even realize 😭😂

[@miumuse444]

lmaooo real

[@sidviscus]

I like how he informed the technician that he was about to lie. "I was going to say I wouldn't date a complete stranger, I would date a stranger." He's so scared, he admits to lying before he even does it.

[@jodie132]

I Love the fact he holds up every picture handed to him ❤😂

[@visualhatefvck]

...and the picture is shaking because he's so nervous 😂

[@yuotueb]

he's probably not aware they're already being filmed by a different camera on the table

[@renaissancefemme]

not Ariana Grande's tho lol

[@bengmelea8646]

Except I don't recognise anybody (except Ariana) maybe VF could subtitle the video with the name of the person in each photo?

[@Keish03]

​@@bengmelea8646I agree they should put the names in the screen but you not recognizing Beyonce is wild 😅

[@chelseascherer700]

I wanna see Trixie and Katya do this together

[@miserabletry]

OMG THAT WOULD BE EPIC LMAO

[@LuluScarn]

This ! 🙌

[@veniceviolet16]

I read this as Troye and Katya Which I would be here for

[@mightyxbishop]

OMG YAS

[@zulunerd01]

This would have me hollering on the floor for days, it would be CAMP AF

[@Kaltelua]

12:10 HAHAHAHA I know that he was thinking both times: "Please don't be The Weekend, please don't be The Weekend" hahahahahha poor thing, sweating bullets

[@onlywestern.official]

❤

[@twolip7540]

He’s so genuine. Makes him so much more attractive.

[@-streaminadream-5356]

sooooooo true. to see a gunine soul living life is so nice

[@MonarchsFactory]

It's pretty weird to have Troye on and not ask a single question about his KZbin era

[@alyssaisscreaming2125]

this

[@pukandre2]

His life flashed before his eyes in every question lmao Troye is so funny fr !!

[@EnriquePascual1989]

I was stressed for him and I smiled the whole time.

[@sagefaribole]

Troye seemed really stressed out by this lie detector test! ❤❤ And his reaction to Bobby’s picture 😅

[@onlywestern.official]

.

[@dorkak6190]

he is friends with Bobby or just random pic?

[@ack0822]

This is the most brutal lie detector I’ve ever seen 😂 troye sweetie ur doing great xx

[@galinas8613]

💔✨

[@twilight79010]

They had him sweating

[@ellieisnotcool]

Interviewer: "Are you ready to take this lie detector test?" Troye: "I'm ready." Lie detector: "lie." I love how Troye is still Troye. I feel like I watch one of his youtube videos back in 2014 😂

[@ivanxcrunner0022]

😂😂😂 perfect

[@cinarin]

Troye was so scared he manifested the toughest grill down lie detector session this channel has posted yet

[@MelodyXiong]

Props to him! His questions were a lot more tough and uncomfortable than others!

[@AnoniempjeSickkk]

i laughed so hard that i almost choked when he prayed for them not to show the Weeknd 💀💀😂😂😭

[@mahamkhan2247]

i thought it was gonna be harry styles they showed XD

[@goofusmaximusII]

Is there animosity between the two of them?

[@samirasoto96]

@@goofusmaximusII​​⁠No, they were on The Weeknd's show, The Idol, together, and The Weeknd's acting was universally hated on and considered super cringe and bad. He probably didn't want to have to answer if they asked him to badmouth the dude who gave him the job on an HBO show (or lie while hooked up to a lie detector) lol

[@samanthastevens4197]

Is it just me or did he come across very adorable in this? 😁

[@Lala-wi3ng]

NOOO NOT JUST U HES SO CUTE

[@primercaballero9990]

Extremely

[@ElenitaShikama-nd3mi]

yes, hes so adorable and cute

[@callie2917]

Nope he’s so cute

[@patriot-hj5vx]

He is adorable always

[@lobaetoile8440]

You can tell he's a very private person, and that he doesn't like conflict, because otherwise he would not have been so nervous about this lol poor Troye, I get you boy

[@swagatadas5121]

Exactly I was noticing that he wants to be at peace and diplomatic with most of his answers and they were squeezing life out of him with these awkward questions

[@moonimarc]

my heart almost stopped when the better actor question came up

[@onlywestern.official]

Why ?

[@oykuerol2271]

because of the weeknd i guess ahahhaha@@onlywestern.official

[@leak668.]

The weeknd​@@onlywestern.official

[@RomneyRanjo]

this feels like an actual police interrogation scene hahahahaah. the way his hand is konda shaking 😂

[@kikimurray7328]

He handled this interview like a champ. I feel like the questions were much more vindictive than in other interviews. Isnt this supposed to be fun?

[@okayhellohihowyadoin]

I think he wasn't giving them very juicy answers so they went for more difficult questions to make the video interesting

[@flamingflamingofruit]

You need to see what they did to Maddie Ziegler. It was no fun, just oddly mean-spirited.

[@veronicaorogers]

Troye is just so incredibly ethereal, the way he presents himself, his voice, eyes. He doesn’t even look human, you can’t convince me he isn’t a nymph

[@tonyajordan2702]

He's just adorable. ❤

[@swethag0728]

I felt the questions were a little odd. Yes, he was nervous, but the questions were also awkward.

[@kikimurray7328]

i agree, i feel like a lot of other interviews have been more topical to the star and less serious. I feel like some of these were random, in poor taste and a bit odd

[@bastiancarson4132]

And he did so well!

[@tammywilliams5312]

Usually lie detectors are supposed to be most accurate when answered yes and no

[@Y0urstae-ep]

So true they way they put him in the spot for revealing his celebrity crush when he DIDN'T want to

[@em-zp9sr]

They grilled him harder than anyone else I’ve seen geez!

[@kerrigankerrigan]

troye is so pretty i cannot get over how he’s glowing and i have to keep rewinding bc i’m just getting lost in his eyes

[@patriot-hj5vx]

He is VERY pretty

[@kristenmason8932]

This was by far the hardest set of questions they’ve asked any other guest!

[@flamingflamingofruit]

You need to see the mean-spirited questions and pressing for different answers in the Maddie Ziegler's one. It was like the interviewer had a personal grudge for no reason. Just 10 mins of weirdness.

[@wangnan173]

I love his "sorry" and "thank you"

[@muaddibnelson]

This interview with Troye Sivan is so funny and tough. He’s so charming and down to earth.

[@dgxxix]

the joy I get when he holds up the printed pictures!

[@clo-e-0]

"I prefer my eye" had me laughing out loud 😂

[@devilpup8]

This video demonstrates perfectly why polygraph tests are total are not admissible in court. They make absolutely no sense and are so easy to manipulate.

[@nezbut7]

some of these are truly stupid questions but troye was still SHAKIN

[@smellyolegoat150]

I’ve got to say, this interview really made me like Troy. I barely knew of him before the Rush video, but I love that video so much I’ve become more curious about him. That led me to watch this interesting interview. I’m glad I adidas.

I didn´t realize he is this beautiful!!! I´ve seen his name fly around but have never actually seen or heard any of his stuff and being as shallow as I am, I now got to google his behind.... Stunning cheekbones

[@brightshining]

He is way too wholesome ☺️

[@Libzolibbylafalot]

I'm really upset. He has so much talent and credit and they spent the whole time asking him about other people trying to start beef. Waste

His nervous voice is too cute.

He acts like they’re showing him pictures of family members they’re about to assasinate lol
