Pretty cool boy and very talented..i wish all teenagers were responsible and talented like edvin ryding...go beautiful boy.

[@timjones143]

At one level, this interview can show us - since they speak a lot about self-awareness - how NOT to be an interviewer. There is an obvious and large difference between critical appraisal and GUSHING. Josh gushes his way through most of this interview. Embarrassing. That Edvin Ryding was articulate and thoughtful despite the gushing says much. And the contrast between interviewer and interviewee is precisely the distinction - for the most part - between gushing and thinking. On MENTAL HEALTH: in Season 2 the last interaction between Wilhelm and the counselor is crucial of course. But Wilhelm makes the distinction: "There was the real Erik and the Prince Erik". "And "How hard can it be...?" Etc. The issue of "the double life", of lying and integrity, matters. Of course. BUT, why oh why can viewers not make a distinction between Wilhelm and Edvin Ryding? Or Simon and Omar Rutburg? Failing to do so issues in these often inane and cringe-making "questions" these actors are "subjected to." Oi. Life imitating art. Of course it's an ensemble performance. But season 2 really is carried by Wilhelm congratulations to Edvin on such a fine performance. PS: compare - if u dare - Netflix's Elite with Young Royals. Elite is, at best, soft porn now: utterly mindless. A comparison shows the,quality of Young Royals. Peace. :-)

honestly i feel like that's where we're going pretty soon bc you can even tell he's practiced his "english" dialect in the last year so i feel like he'll be going out for ~hollywood~ roles soon (like can we get him an a24 feature please!!!)

[@yasmeenkhan2957]

I’ve never seen such a young person be this well spoken. He always says exactly what needs to be said with such beauty and intelligence. You can tell he radiates kindness and cares about everyone he interacts with and is just so humble. All that aside, he is also one of the BEST actors I have ever seen on screen. I become more in awe realizing how long he has been acting for, and how much longer he has left to grow as a person. Like he’s only 19 but has so much maturity for his age. Pure talent. It also always shocked me how well people speak English as their second language. I could go on forever but to conclude, thank you for this

[@joguevara7051]

Edvin is utterly brilliant in so many ways. He is so obviously multi-faceted and multi-talented. I think the trait that carries him is the way in which he cares about the world. One cannot contain so many qualities and not contain the same amount of love.

You have to bring him back please?

[@eugenefrankmd5433]

The bravery that Edvin displays in his vulnerability to his private life, the continuity of his own personality with the roles he enacts is absolute credit to his integrity. His is a super intelligent, introspective, emotionally sensitive, such a gifted and talented guy who is totally at ease in his skin. Dealing with his 'coming out' was so emotionally precious and inspiring there is a transcendental purity that invites you to love him, just feel love for this terrific guy. If he and Simon made it, more credit. Mostly Edvin's integrity makes the splash: surely being in his position to enact, grow and continually mature in his subsequent roles, is a gift he really appreciates. His modesty is legend, absolute babe-boned exposure to his most sensitive pockets of secrets, demonstrates what it means to mature without arrogance. If he and Simon area item, go for it: if not where on earth will he find a mate to meet his emotional needs with the strength to love him as the differentiated angel that he is. Angels are blond with mullets.

Oh how I was craving for that! Edvin is both a gifted actor and amiable person, an old soul, somehow. He combines psychological depth with a lightness of being which makes him very approachable and relatable. Thank you for this beautiful interview & your insightful questions 💕 It just made my day 💓💓💓And YES, he already IS the person many people need as their solid rock.

[@darktwistedlady]

"Old soul" or rather, emotionally mature bc nobody taught him selfishness. 💖

[@diemarieell]

@@darktwistedlady Very well said. As he stated, he ocassionally was left to his own devices at a young age in the industry which made him scrutinize human behavior. He observed & assessed the way people treated him and others, and that led him to come up with some strong values concerning friendship, collaboration and respect. He radiates joy whenever you see him interact with others which is a trademark of emotionally balanced people. HIs strong personality will enable him to be succesfull in the industry and, at the same time, live a happy, balanced private life. My best wishes are with him, as I really admire Edvin as the great person he is. -- Oopsie, sorry for rambling, got a bit carried away here 😄

[@darktwistedlady]

@@diemarieell Love your rambling! He has so many great messages, like "be the person you needed when you were younger"! I sceolled through his insta once, and read an incredible post about the importance of emotions, the connections between toxic masculinity and the high suicide rated for men, and he lamented over how boys & men get so many messages about not crying, being "tough" etc, worrying about his litttle brother losing his rich natural emotions from thw social pressure of toxic masculinity. He wrote it when he was 15. F i f t e e n!
