Major props to the interviewer, Julia Cunningham, for touching on topics and questions we haven't heard already a thousand times in previous interviews. I had no idea Chyler had gotten some negative reactions from family and friends about her portrayal of Alex. It was nice to see this much depth in an interview.
Actually, this is the first time I've heard Chyler asked about her Christian faith and how she reconciles conservative Christian beliefs with her portrayal of a lesbian character. I thought Chyler handled the question very well.
ah i dont think so. When a character is in the LGBT spectrum, its true that the actor gets asked about it. But its never to this depth and with this much genuine interest. Its usually whats it like to kiss girls, or a generic response like its great to represent this community blah blah
I want to personally thank Julia and Whosay for creating such an original (and long) interview with just Chyler. I've heard so many interviewers ask the same questions so many times I pretty much know the answers lol. This was fabulous. Thank you :)
Listening to someone talk has never been so calming, even her tone of voice. Chyler is the epitome of humble, honest and just an all around good person who would love to love you and have a chat with you no matter what your beliefs are. What a class act, seriously.
I absolutely love this interview. Chyler Leigh is an amazing and beautiful woman and she's such an inspiration, not only for the LGBTQ Community but for everyone. I adore the way she portrays Alex, the character just seems so real and natural- especially the coming out scenes are excellent. She's honestly one of the best actresses on earth.
I love what she said about loving each other equally, I'm a Christian, and I know that Jesus loves us all equally no matter what our sin. She said it perfectly. And as she said she is telling a story. As much as some may not agree with homosexuality, she is telling the story of a person. Also as she said the show is covering a lot of things socially and politically that are relevant today, such as immigration, racism, feminism and overall equality. Not many shows are doing that. I love what this show is doing, I think it is really influential and it is ultimately teaching children to treat each other with love and respect.
She is not telling any story. The showrunners are. And I disagree that covering a lot of social and political problems on a superhero show is a good idea. After all, people don't tend to watch those type of shows, to be reminded of their real life problems. And if the showrunners continue to do that, it's gonna bite them in the ass sooner or later.
I never said anyone had to agree with me, I'm an art student so I analyse things all films and TV shows included. Whether or not you agree, it's a good show and ultimately it is there to entertain people and give people an escape from their own lives for an hour a week. It's not hurting anyone.
But how will people escape from their own lives, if the show keeps shoving real life issues on it's plot? That's my point. And if the show keep going this way, it will end up hurting itself. The remaining comic-book fans who are still watching it, would lose interest, because Supergirl would be more interested in social-commentary(and forced romantic drama), than showing fun comic-book stories.
As I said you didn't have to agree with me, it's my opinion, and as I said I am an art srufent, I am taught to look deeper than the obvious, whether it is an artwork, film or TV show, the issues it is covering is not obvious, kids wouldn't be able to see. You don't have to agree, I wasn't intentionally trying to start an argument.
i love chyler, she's a treasure, but i don't like it when people refer to my sexuality as a flaw or a sin. it's one of the most beautiful things about me as it is the part that gives me the ability to love deeply. i have many flaws, but my sexuality isn't one of them.
Love Chyler's heart of gold and this hairstyle on her is just perfect. Love that Chyler Leigh acknowledges how misrepresented lesbians have been in the media, thank you!! Great interviewer, thank you! .... Yes, this show is definitely making a POSITIVE difference!
Chyler Leigh has such a heart of gold. I love how open, honest, calm and empowering she is! If I could meet her, I would literally hug her!! Keep up the AWESOME work Chyler!!! 💗
Chyler, if you ever happen to come across this interview and this comment, please know that you have proven how beautiful of a human being you are. You really are an inspiration. Wishing you all the very best and here hoping one day I get to be in your presence and say hi. Amazing human being and honest to the core. Love and peace to you, always. Your loyal fan x
Chyler is such an amazing person, I loved this interview, truly beautifully done. Can we expect one with Floriana as well? It would be amazing to have her interviewed about Maggie as well :)
Bless Chyler she knows how mistreated we are and finally someone is making sure we get the representation that we need Even tho I have trust issues about favorite characters of mine especially lesbians because most of them are dead, I know I can trust her
Hi i´m from germany and i can not understand all what chyler Leigh say, but what i understand what she says is so real and honestly. i like her so much...
Chyler is such an inspiring person , her insights and personality makes her formidable, protect her at all costs . And to think that she went through some pretty heavy and difficult issues herself, battling with drug adiction as a teenager and bipolar disorder. I'm glad she excelled and thrived. I hope to see her in many more shows , i remember her since greys anatomy when she played lexie and her acting really makes you love the character, many were heartbroken when she left and died on the plane. But she's come a long way since. And I'm sure she will be in many shows. #Chyler
The way she spoke on being open minded & having an open heart and being kind & considerate & loving & generous & all of those other good vibe type of things. With non-denomination, which I am as well, I wholeheartedly agree in being that way. The best you that you can be and the most positive you that you can be. I love this.
I don't know what to say after watching this. Wow. Chyler, sorry, but after these wonderful words I can't believe you are a human being... you must be a god or something like this. If there is one human I could ever meet in my life, this would be you. love u ❤
This interview made me so emotional. Chyler talking about faith and everything she said. I'm not gay or bi but I feel exactly the same way about things and human life as she does. Inspiration woman nr 1 now - Chyler Leigh
Dude I was not expecting those questions towards the end about Christianity. I freaking love her. Man as someone who grew up in church, Christians can be the worst when it comes to gay people. BUT some people can be great. So I'm glad she talked about it.
When a person is an actor or an actress, he really has to get rid of certain paradigms. I'm a non-practicing Catholic and of course, only now the church is being more flexible towards homosexuals, this theme always sounded very natural to me, I never had any prejudice in relation to this, on the contrary, I have always supported and I think it is absurd just because a woman loves another woman or man loves another man they go to hell! This is old-fashioned, the world has changed, people have to be open minded and I talk about it with my daugther. I am proud with this wonderful actress Chyler Leigh along this spectacular actress Floriana Lima , setting the example and breaking paradigms.
Chyler is just saying what shes said because shes playing the character. Shes on contract. She gets paid. She is an actress. She can act anyway she has to. This is just my opinion. Chyler is an Artist. More importantly, shes a mom and a wife. She hates the role but she has to do it.
she's so surprised, that people knew Alex was gay before she came out... but man, that character... my gaydar gave signals since the very first episode. :D Idk how, cause Chyler didn't know it yet so it couldn't be her intention...
I was thinking the same lol. She kept saying her character won't die but what about maggie? x) But I'm not worry at all, I'm sure they'll live happily ever after, kicking asses of crazy aliens and simply being an awesome badass team. Killing Maggie will have a terrible impact on the audiance. After all the mess Lexa's death created I'm not sure any writter would want to try the experience. Especially since it's aired on CW.
Ahh, I absolutely love how this interview touched on the portrayal of Alex in relation to Chyler's faith. I'm a Christian myself, and I think it's so awesome that someone who is very proudly Christian and speaks so openly about it, can also show support for the LGBTQIA+ community by playing such a beautiful, pivotal role. Unlike Chyler, I grew up in the church and was taught a lot of things. No, I wasn't "brainwashed"-as I got older, I chose what I accepted and what I didn't believe. I agree with a lot of stuff and I deeply appreciate how I was raised, but I don't agree with everything. I just love how she is embodying exactly what a Christian should be-someone who loves unconditionally, no matter who a person is. It's not often that the two combine and coexist so peacefully. This is how I wish the church and the LGBTQIA+ community could exist, with no assumptions or hate to or from either side (because yes, assumptions and judgment can go both ways, in any situation). I'm glad I found this interview. I've been a huge fan of Chyler ever since she was on Grey's, and she's actually the reason I started watching Supergirl. Ugh, this interview just made my heart really happy.
She made quite a few great points! I definitely agree with them. I am not a fan of that storyline but I don't want the storyline condemned just because it may bother some people.
A lot of people in TV/Hollywood should study this actress and Ms. Benoist, they exude class and intelligence. Even with the fame of the show they still present themselves properly and positively, a rather difficult task.
I love the show Supergirl. The cast is great (I'm not a huge fan of Mon-El, though. I just feel like he's taken some of the focus and attention off of Kara/Supergirl.). Melissa and Chyler are my favorite actresses and I love the strong, sisterly bond between Kara and Alex that they play. This above interview was great. I don't like the lesbian storyline with Alex and Maggie-----I feel like it was an unnecessary part of the storyline and takes Alex away from the strong bond with Kara and how they work together to fight for justice.
how.....is....someone...so....perfect
I love that Chyler's attitude towards being famous is basically "with great power comes great responsibility".
She is one amazing human being, one in 10 million.
Major props to the interviewer, Julia Cunningham, for touching on topics and questions we haven't heard already a thousand times in previous interviews. I had no idea Chyler had gotten some negative reactions from family and friends about her portrayal of Alex. It was nice to see this much depth in an interview.
J. lmao these are the same bs questions that are always asked. ur funny
+kcabyats * k

Which answer troubled you? Because I think her answers get confusing at times and could be misunderstood.
Chyler Leigh has a heart of gold i swear to god. I love her so much. Wish i could give her the biggest hug
Meeeh Eeeeh Same
How is her name pronounced?
@@ziggazogga7471 Kai-ler Lee.
Meeeh Eeeeh Plus she is a Christian so her marriage has lasted all these years having lots of sex with her handsome husband with three kids obviously.
Yasss
hearing chyler saying "clexa" was something i didn't know i needed but i'm glad i have
ell m i feel the same
Alex is a total badass...but chyler is the woman!
X V. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Alex is a total badass, Lexi is the loveable angel, Chyler is the treasure behind the two 😇❤️
Chyler is a gift sent from heaven
She sure is!
I'd die for Chyler. I mean, how can someone care so much?!
She's absolutely incredible
I loved the "By the way, she's gay" x'D
i wish all straights were as open-minded and kind-hearted as Chyler! Truly amazing human being!
majority of straights are open minded ....
I'm 3 years from the future, she isn't straight.
But yeah, the world would be better if people were more open minded.
MusicLover9379 how you know that?
She recently came out on her blog, I can find for you a number of reddit threads discussing it along with a screenshot from her blog.
MusicLover9379 she came out as a bi?
I want to personally thank Julia and Whosay for creating such an original (and long) interview with just Chyler. I've heard so many interviewers ask the same questions so many times I pretty much know the answers lol. This was fabulous. Thank you :)
You took the words right out of my mouth! :)
Listening to someone talk has never been so calming, even her tone of voice. Chyler is the epitome of humble, honest and just an all around good person who would love to love you and have a chat with you no matter what your beliefs are. What a class act, seriously.
One love = one hug from chyler
I love chyler 😘

It took me an hour to finish this interview because I kept screenshoting Chyler's expressions lol. She's such a meme!
Lol
Amazing interview, Chyler is such a gem.

Hi i´m from germany and i can not understand all what chyler Leigh say, but what i understand what she says is so real and honestly. i like her so much...

I've just started crying, tbh. Such a wonderful person, she is. I love her so much.

Oh my god, Im so in love with Chyler!

Chyler Leigh is ❤

Chyler has a beautiful mother heart explaining things the way she feels about the movie an family
Dude I was not expecting those questions towards the end about Christianity. I freaking love her. Man as someone who grew up in church, Christians can be the worst when it comes to gay people. BUT some people can be great. So I'm glad she talked about it.
what a great interview 👏
Very well said! Brilliant answers! She is beauty, heart and brains!
"lesbian lives" with hand in the air got me 😂😂
I always thought that Chyler Leigh was a very classy lady, but now I think she's a very classy human being.
When a person is an actor or an actress, he really has to get rid of certain paradigms.

DR Flex Shazam Sin is stealing and killing. I don't really care about what you think, be polite and don't interfere in other's opinions.
DR Flex Shazam which creator? There's literally 100s of 'creators' out there!
Chyler is just saying what shes said because shes playing the character. Shes on contract. She gets paid. She is an actress. She can act anyway she has to. This is just my opinion. Chyler is an Artist. More importantly, shes a mom and a wife. She hates the role but she has to do it.
god she's amazing I wish everyone would think the way she does ❤
Such a genuine words!!
Thank you Chyler!
Such a good interview! Great questions and Chyler is such a sweetheart and she seems very intelligent!
She is amazing, the effort to reach out to people, the support to all people of any kind. A gorgeous woman and human being, huge like. ❤
Chyler is sooo awesome
The first scene of maggie and alex already has sparkssss
I love chyler leigh sooo much!
one of the best interviews.
I really loved this interview. Great questions and great answers. Thanks for this.
The Danvers sister's save the plot of Supergirl! Chyler Leigh is the best actress of the show.
I love how she even knew about the Clexa complex...Chyler is amazing
It's easy to love Chyler, she is beautiful,collected,warm,talented and so humble❤️❤️❤️❤️
chyler is an amazing human. Huge fan
Very good interview
I really hope they don't break up Sanvers
I hope they do :)
Shia Hemahrahsh fuck u
they better not
Go away!!! You obviously missed the point that Chyler was making about everyone deserves to be loved.
I still think they should break them up in the show. It's for the better of the show.
she's so surprised, that people knew Alex was gay before she came out... but man, that character... my gaydar gave signals since the very first episode. :D Idk how, cause Chyler didn't know it yet so it couldn't be her intention...
#AlexWon'tDie....
What about Maggie though? Although her legacy in the comics should guarantee her safety hopefully.
I was thinking the same lol. She kept saying her character won't die but what about maggie? x) But I'm not worry at all, I'm sure they'll live happily ever after, kicking asses of crazy aliens and simply being an awesome badass team. Killing Maggie will have a terrible impact on the audiance. After all the mess Lexa's death created I'm not sure any writter would want to try the experience. Especially since it's aired on CW.
Leksa Heda Right? I was never in to the 100 but still i don't think ANY show wants to get in to that mess again. I'm not worried, just wary.
Her legacy in the comics should guarantee her safety? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Tell that to Katie Cassidy/Laurel Lance!
Ukaran That one is on Guggenheim, if Arrow was helmed by anyone other than him in the DCTVU Laurel would still be alive.
Who the fuck gave a dislike to this video?
me duuuhhhhh
She is amazing... oh my God!
i fucking love her so much
she's too pure for this world
yes! please both lesbians alive please!

CHYLER CHYLER CHYLER CHYLER CHYLER CHYLER
Chyler saying Clexa give me life. I love her and her big heart so much
Chrysler Leigh what a beautiful person you are!!
The Clexa :D
I'm sure she meant "Bury Your Gays", but Clexa/Lexa has become a synonym for it. Great interview 👍
I know ;)
i didn’t think i could love chyler anymore than i already do, but when she mentioned clexa my heart went ⬅️➡️↘️↙️↗️⬇️⬆️↙️
Chyler is all kindsa awesome!
she is a legend love her
She made quite a few great points! I definitely agree with them. I am not a fan of that storyline but I don't want the storyline condemned just because it may bother some people.
Did you ever feel that your falling for cyy!! 😂 im soo inloved with her inside and outside i can't even stop looking at her face
i love chyler so mush
A lot of people in TV/Hollywood should study this actress and Ms. Benoist, they exude class and intelligence. Even with the fame of the show they still present themselves properly and positively, a rather difficult task.
❤❤❤❤❤
I love the show Supergirl. The cast is great (I'm not a huge fan of Mon-El, though. I just feel like he's taken some of the focus and attention off of Kara/Supergirl.). Melissa and Chyler are my favorite actresses and I love the strong, sisterly bond between Kara and Alex that they play. This above interview was great. I don't like the lesbian storyline with Alex and Maggie-----I feel like it was an unnecessary part of the storyline and takes Alex away from the strong bond with Kara and how they work together to fight for justice.
It's so nice to see women kickass for a change Alex is one of my action heros love her character
Your Voice is soo beautiful 😘💜 same like you
Shes just too amazing that im tripping out
shes so adorable
chyler saying CLEXA is everything
