You have no idea how many times I have been asked to get the leads of Netflix’s hit show, Young Royals on the podcast and today it’s finally happening. And first up welcome the Prince himself, Edvin Reading to the podcast!
If you haven’t watched the hit Swedish Netflix show yet, it follows Prince Wilhelm, who is sent to boarding school and falls for Simon, played by Omar Rudberg. And when I say you are in for a treat, it's got a 100?% rotten tomatoes rating to prove it.
Today, fresh from the show’s huge second season, Edvin talks about THAT season finale cliffhanger (it's the ultimate coming out scene really, isn't it??!), learning to embrace his differences and he also shares one of the best pieces of advice I have ever heard, which I think we all need to listen to and live by!
I hope you continue to listen and find the power to Reign in your own lives and if you love this episode, please get in touch (follow me across social media @joshsmithhosts), I love hearing from you. Love, Josh xxx

Edvin is so super smart, wise and matured. My goodness. He has touched me positively in different ways.

“Be the person you needed when you were younger” Edvin Rydings. Wow. Edvin is such an incredible actor; charismatic/fun, and apparently an amazingly thoughtful human being. Luv him. 💜 Can’t wait to follow his career. Great interview!
as if noone ever said that before
❣
Pretty cool boy and very talented..i wish all teenagers were responsible and talented like edvin ryding...go beautiful boy.
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. :-)
@@timjones143 very good resume....you're right about all.
👍🏻
This actor is wise beyond his years. I am a therapist and I was super impressed with his reflections and views. What an inspirational individual. It totally comes out the work he does. A truly phenomenal actor.
That is wonderful to hear! There's more from Edvin on the full podcast episode too, so check it out! Thank you so much for watching!
‘Okay everybody, I’m queer, and I lied. This is my boyfriend, I’m in love with this guy. Ta ta!’ 😂
I agree with Josh that some of us older people felt we needed this show when we were younger in so many ways.
Waiting for Edvin to blow up into the international film/tv scene in a couple of years. My God is he a talented, wise, charismatic boy. I hope nothing and no one takes away his shine. He is the next Timotheè Chalamet in the making.
100% 😊
Bless his soul, he's amazing
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!!!)
@@katieedits he said in an interview that he went to London for a few auditions and there might be some USA/UK project in the future. With that acting skill and resume, I can't imagine him not succeeding in everything he does.
I want to hear more from this wise and sincere young man. I am 59 and I could listen to his heart and things he is learning all day. He is really amazing.
@@coachtawanna5540 I agree with you
9:46 "It's such a privilege for me to be able to learn from Wilhelm - even though it's me playing him."
"Be the person you needed when you were younger" I love him so much.
That's literally one of the best pieces of advice a person can give!
Some of the best people I know live by this
I try to live like this!!
I started crying when he said that 😭
He’s so mature, I love how he has an answer to every question and says it so well 😭😭🤍
Yes I love him 😭😭
“I studied behavioral science in high school.” Wow! What a unique perspective to the Wilhelm character. He’s so smart!
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
this was such a good interview!!! i could listen to edvin talking for hours, his dedication and love for wilhelm are so clear whenever he talks about the show, it’s truly amazing to see how insightful he is 💗 and that hairstyle ranking question was the cherry on top 😅
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.
What is multi-feceted?
@@sintiatm3204 someone who has many abilities ( or talents).
❤Love is what carries us forwards wherever we are, however we are ❤
Edvin's command of the English language is very impressive for a Swedish 19 year old, so much so that he could easily teach English at any school in Sweden, or anywhere else in fact!
Edvin is amazing. He's an incredible actor and is so wise for his age. ❤
I can't believe he's 19. He's amazing
Wow, he's even more handsome in real life.
there's no way not fall in love with him, i spent the entire video smiling :') there aren't enough words to describe how incredible he is, he simply radiates kindness, intelligence, sense of humor, and cares so much about his characters giving them a such beautiful meaning, i love him sm
Edvin should be so proud of himself for portraying such a deep character like Wilhelm. Loved that interview! I had tears in my eyes at the end. You really got me there.
Edvin is going to be a huge star and he absolutely deserves it. Sooo glad Netflix brought his talent to global audiences.
I could listed to Edvin talk for hours. He is so sweet and kind.Ahh to be his friend would be a such a treat !
Yes, for me 2 ❤
ME TOO! If you want to hear more from Edvin check out the full interview on my podcast Reign, you can listen here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 and let me know what you think - hope you enjoy it! Josh
I wish I could have articulated my words like this at 19... he is so mature
If anyone ever asks me why I love Edvin that much, I'll show them this interview.
Exactly...agree 100%
Yeah, I think it says/transports it all . sooo good
He is so articulate and His English is so good. He speaks fluently and also with complex sentences.
I love how edvin gave such a powerful and deeply inspirational answer at the end and then said, "great question. Wow. That's beautiful." BOYYYYY. YOUR ANSWER WAS BEAUTIFUL. Don't get it twisted.
this is one of the best interviews ive ever watched in my entire life. the questions were really really interesting, the whole conversation felt very natural and edvin really put his heart in every answer. i just got into young royals but i already admire him a lot. great actor and great person. congrats on the video both of you!!
He is truly not a light actor.. every scene or his approach to acting is so intricate with details and so much thought… nice interview and wow his answers were so deep ans heavy and at the same chill type as well.. he is indeed a great actor and looking forward for more performances from him ❤
I am so SO grateful for this wonderful interview as it feels like forever since we've binged YR season 2, and it's kind of the first time we get the PHENOMENAL Edvin Ryding to extensively reflect on the show. 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.
"Old soul" or rather, emotionally mature bc nobody taught him selfishness. 💖
@@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 😄
@@diemarieell you said it all! itds just a matter of time hollywood latch on him. His intelligence and charisma is almost intimidating
@@ladys45 He will get an 'Oski" one day, I am sure. His charisma is heartwarming, because when he laughs, it comes from the heart. And... he cares. He cares about those around him: friends, family, fans... That's what I love most about people. If they care. 💖💓💖
@@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!
Wise beyond his years. It's truly a pleasure to see someone embrace what they have learnt alongside the trials they have suffered and use it to try to change and affect change in others. As well as phrase it more eloquently than most of us could dream to do.
Thank you Edvin and thank you Josh.
And its working #affect change in others
How old is he again? When i was his age, i really had a hard time putting words together to make a full sentence and here he is, talking beautifully about coming of age, sexuality and wisdom. What a boy
Edvin is AMAZING. I'm older and have experienced a lot. Watching him in season 1 was the same way I felt seeing Tom Holland in The Impossible or Leonardo DiCaprio in This Boy's Life. He's going to have an incredible career. The best is yet to come.
I adore him. Can’t believe 19 yrs old boy can that be thoughtful, mature and wisdom. Love Edvin. He is just amazing. Handsome too. BTW, i love him with long hair most :)
I am Italian. I wish we had teenagers his age as mature as he is. He is just stunning and a phenomenal actor
i have a feeling that everyone should have an Edvin in his life. It'd make things easier i guess.
Very smart lad ❤
He’s the type of friend with who you can talk about everything for hours and never get tired ! He is only 19 and have the life in front if him. Wish him the best of the best of the best. Always be happy Edvin, you are a life changer ❤️
Edvin is the most well spoken person I've ever heard in my entire life
and english is his second language............
this was so beautiful to listen to, edvin expresses himself with such maturity and intelligence, i could listen to him for hours
Edvin Ryding is wise beyond his years. Thank you for sharing this interview. So powerful and moving. The show has touched me so deeply. It was something I needed when I was younger, but it didn’t exist then.
One more thing I noticed was Josh admiration look at Edvin when he was speaking, like a proud admiration look at Edvins answers like a proud parent 👏
5:43 I love the friendship between Wilhelm and Felice. When she asks Wille if he's okay after seeing Simon and he tells her honestly, "Well, I don't have a choice. I have to be okay."
I love how Edvin talks 🤯🤩
well he is the sweetest and beyond wiser, i'd love to hear him talking for hours
Edvin was so amazing to talk to! If you want to hear more from Edvin- and there's a Ormar episode too - make sure you check out the full interviews on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 hope you enjoy!
I could literally listen to Edvin talk all day
He's such a wise and pure soul. Absolutely beautiful inside out.
I love him❤
He is so wise! f you want to hear more from Edvin- and there's a Omar episode too - make sure you check out the full interview on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 hope you enjoy!
i just cannot comprehend how he is 19??!! he is such an old soul, it's beautiful
I love how casual this interview is, I’ve seen so many Young Royals interviews but it’s so refreshing seeing Edvin smile and laugh and answer questions that aren’t just about the make-out scenes
this whole interview is just wholesome and beautiful! love how edvin always manage to articulate the role he played perfectly, which helped me understand him (wilhelm) more. and it really is hard to rank his hair, cause they're all gorgeous. but nice choice with the number 1, cause i love that too 💓
also extremely touched with his words about being a person we needed when we were younger, i'm trying my best doing it too. god i just love edvin, he really is currently my favorite actor (i rarely have this tbh) and my comfort person 🥺
great interview, looking forward to omar's!!!
now, time to rewatch young royals and wait for the renewal 💜
How fluid he is with his thoughts and feelings. Waoh
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.
That is the best motto I have heard in a while..
i am so grateful that we are able to see this boy playing wille he is so smart i could listen to him talking about his career and young royals for hours! and he is always so sweet i just want to give him a hug 💜
Edvin is a amazing person and a ridiculously amazing at his job. I will forever be a young royals fan and cant wait to see where Edvin goes in life because I know by a big feeling he going to go far in life and I love him for his kindness he shows everyone❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😊😊😊
Let's just ignore for one moment how cute and literally every other adjective in this world edvin is, and take a moment to appreciate the guy, who is doing the interview! He's adorable omg, I love the way he acts and speeks to edvin!!
Totally agree! Honestly back then in spring 2022 when I stumbled upon him doing this great insightful interview with Kit Connor - I kinda fell in love with Josh and the amazing way he listens to and communicates with his guests.. 🧡
Edvin is a very sweet guy and incredibly eloquent! Love listening to his answers.
the way Edvin uses words is beyond beautiful, him and Omar have such pure, warm souls ❤❤❤
I love wilhelm n edvin 😭❤️indeed wise beyond his years 👏🏻✨
The interviewer ruined the last scene of season 2 for me and those who haven't watched it by bluntly ruining it. Edvin ryding seem like a mature actor for his age. His chemistry with Omar is wonderful.
I adore him so much. What a wonderful young man.
Edvin has gotten so confident in his english. it has improved so much since his first interviews in english.....his humor is shining so bright..........it won't be long until he's being cast for english and american movies and tv.
wonderful interview.......thank both of you,
He is so smart and I love the way he speaks and thinks . He really is so wise and mature.
He's truly incredible. We are 10 years apart but I feel like he's much more mature than me haha.
He's such a beautiful person, inside and out. I would love to have him as my friend, truly.
Thank you for this interview❤️
Sending love to everyone 🥰
There are not many 19 year old actors who have this kind of wisdom.
Edvin Seend to be beautiful both outside and inside.
My compliments to the interviewer - he could strike a chord with a guest like Oprah Winfrey does but in his own unique way.
edvin is sooo entertaining, like how is this kid so effortlessly funny? hope he gets opportunities to showcase that side of him even more in the future
Do we get an interview with Omar Rudberg too? He's such an interesting and layered person as well..
OMG! Super funny and intelligent . He should be a script writer or director. He actually made a lot of proposals and improvised scenes. Loved the part with the birthday presents, the way he reprimanded his parents! As parents we can also learn from this, how our kids needs us in so many ways. I love his take on mental health issues. You have to bring him back please?
Be the person you needed when you were younger. How much i loved it ❤️
I am 100% sure: Edvin is an amazing talented actor who will have a great future. Plus: He is intelligent and a beautiful personality. The way he looks at Simon is just soooo great and so real that it makes young royals such a great series.
Love from Germany
It's the Ta-Ta for me. 4:03 (start: 3:56)
Oh my god?? I noticed the parallels between Kendall and Wilhelm this season, but I thought I was just being silly lol. Both miserable the whole second season and then coming on top by switching up their speech and standing up to their predecessor! Incredible acting from both Jeremy Strong and Edvin.
damn he’s brilliant
Edvin you are a born actor,you were just so great ,all of ur emotions were felt in every scene it's just so nice.
I never miss Edvin and Omar's interviews. They are so bright, I love them🥺
i would LOVE an interview with both Edvin and Kit Connor. they both have similar stories, are so well spoken and mature, and even their character are very similar. i feel like they would be great mates
Why are people so enamored with Edvin? Many reasons, but most importantly, he represents love in all forms and expresses it.
love Edvin so much, didnt think i could love him more but then saw this and omg
First lines of Edvin, like on the INTRO, I am 👏🥳🤗🥰like on the floor. I guess I stan 🤣🤣
edvin makes me so happy
What a cool person
Edvin is such a great actor and a beautiful human. I'm so thankful for YR for making me discover this gem. I can't wait to follow his future. Thanks for this interview, I could listen to him during hours. Love him so much.
He's such a bright light in this world! I'm super proud of him
he's so young and so wise. such a beautiful soul. i love watching his interviews and hearing him speak about his perspective on different topics, but it's really nice that you touched on mental health too cause wilhelm's storyline with anxiety this season was very important to me. i really hope YR gets a season 3.
Listening to this interview makes you want to be a better person....priceless...Hats off
This young man is an old soul. That was totally engaging.
His English is amazing! He sounds American. Woww
Edvin is so smart and mature at such a young age ! And handsome of course ! Excited for YR S3 ! ❤️
CAN NOT WAIT FOR SEASON 3, too! Thank you for watching, if you want more from Edvin listen to the full chat on the podcast here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 and let me know what you think! x
I don't think I've ever cried while watching an interview for anything other than laughing, but here I am, all because of Edvin's beautiful words 💜 Thank You for this amazing interview
He is genuinely SWEET and CARING. I can see he doesn’t fake it to SEEM charismatic; I can tell he actually IS charismatic.
Edvin has such a mature mind, he is so down to earth and you can tell how truly kind he must be in person, it is always great to listen to him talking. Such a precious soul. Thank you for this interview.
Oh Josh, your interviews are already always a level above all others, and when you meet a guest with such intelligence, humor, sensitivity and natural talent as Edvin Ryder, they become something absolutely splendid to listen to.
Beautiful conversation, deep and brilliant questions and answers, you were both great
he is so well spoken
he is absolutely an excellent young actor! Thank you for this brilliant conversation!
Wilhelm really grows so much in Season 2! He makes mistakes but between therapy and introspection, he learns from the mistakes.
I like how he interact,and the accent hits differently😍
What a great interview, I loved listening to Edvin on how he evolved on his role as prince Wilhem. Reaching this moment in his career is an actor's dream, to be able to produce the cliffhanger of a show like Young Royals, which by the way, paved the way to a mandatory season 3. To identify with those moments in which he was not well treated in the past. As a retired actor myself (I am 78.5 years old), I had some very tough moments with stage directors in my country, that at times had to do with miss casting me or my interpretation of roles, which turned out to work very well as I was doing it, I identified very much with Edvin and his disposition to support a better treatment towards young actors. I look forward to seeing more of his work as an actor and I wish for him the very best, as keeps moving along his career. Well done Edvin.
How can he be that cute and smart? gosh.
Amazing edvin ryding
I have so much admiration for Edvin. He is very mature for his age. I have followed his career for quite some time and I can't wait to see what he does next ❤️
He is so articulate in English. More fluent than many 19-year old American or British boys. Wow, the Swedish school system must be amazing.
He is SO articulate, was amazing to talk to him! If you want more from Edvin listen to the full interview on my podcast here hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 - let me know what you think!
@@reignwithjoshsmith7520 Great interview! You two really clicked -- he seemed more comfortable and relaxed than he sometimes is in interviews. Edvin has the maturity of a 39 year old, not a 19 year old. His English is so so good -- Hollywood ready! I cannot wait for him to break out on the international scene as a top actor. I cannot think of another actor his age as insightful and intelligent.
Edvin is such a good actor. I hope that he does not get overwhelmed by all the attention and do amazing projects in future. Wish he gets international projects.
