Top Comments of this video!! :3
Omar is SO talented. His portrayal of Simon is beautiful and so authentic 💜. I loved that he said “I have more self-love” because of Young Royals. I think the show is doing just that for a lot of people all over the world. Luv him. Looking forward to following his music and acting career!! 💜 Awesome Interview.

Omar notes that teens rightly freak out when they see themselves represented in the show, but I’m 55, and I freaked out, as I was a Simon in 1985 and lots of pain appeared unprocessed. The show helped me process the inequality I’ve been feeling. I bet there’s many more of me. The fanbase is much broader than teens. Thanks to the whole cast and team for this wonderful story and thanks to Omar and Edvin for sharing their chemistry and energy with the world. And thank you Josh for having these wonderful conversations with them.

I cant tell if its a swedish thing or an edvin and omar thing, but it is sooo refreshing to hear such down to earth and unpretentious conversation, and in such a comfortable light hearted way about the whole acting and becoming a superstar thing.. It seems so normal to talk like this amongst my creative friends, but so rare to ever see it amongst famous people..
For example its so nice to hear Omars understanding and natural empathy about how he would feel the same as the fans if he saw it 10 years ago.. And I think thats super cute, to take himself out of the picture and just understand what the bigger relevance is for people and how meaningful the story is in their hearts.
Its also super refreshing to hear that process of building personal growth and self acceptance through the activity of acting and filming a character, and I can imagine its one of the blessings of being on a set like that one, with director and crew and safe intimacy coordinator and prioritising trust, and telling such a beautifully written story as that one is.. Celebrating everyone's natural imperfections, and truely showing the human beauty in its entireity, not just focusing in on small "flaws".. I mean this about the characters' personalities and awkward clumsy teenage discoveries as well as what it must be like embodying acting it. I can imagine the pressure he must have been under for years as a teenage touring musician and model.. and how comforting it must be now to be in a different role where the "imperfections" are actually the greatest strength, hes obviously a total babe, but it is the uniqueness of everyone that is what makes it absolutely phenominal acting which is sensative and approachable and relatable. Its so interesting! I think after 10 years of social media, the world is thirsty for this kind of raw realism. Im so thankful.
Cant wait to hear the rest of the podcast, thanks again for the wonderfully relaxed and conversational interview. I love young royals, its touched me for so many separate reasons, and so I really appreciate the conversations and talks about it all. Bless

Omar just declared the singular most important component of ANY relationship; be it person-to-person or with one's Divinity, and that is TRUST. He cited the trust he has in Edvin. So precious! That must be returned to be authentic as I sense that it is. They are utter magic together, partly because of trust. I pray that both are not too young to understand how rare and priceless that trust in one another truly is, both in front of the camera and beyond.

Omar really is the sweetest. He's such a talented human being, and it's truly heartwarming to know that the show has helped him being more confident and finding self love, especially after all he's been through when he was younger. He deserves to feel good about himself and feel loved. I still can't believe it was his first time acting, he's a natural!

I think one of the most beautiful things he said is that he feels "safe" with Edvin. That's such an important factor in any relationship...romantic or not!
