WHY DO I CALL MY FANS GREG?
Greg is the strongest family on the internet, we're the fastest growing channel on RUclips, and we make fire content. So, instead of making up some pun using my name and calling my fans that, I decided to use a different name entirely. A name so strong, haters tremble when it is spoken. WE ARE GREG. AND WE ARE TAKING OVER THE INTERNET. And all you have to do to join is hit subscribe and turn on notifications.

The fact that Axel also said that he has NEVER been in a play before... Not even in school or anything-
I came from a pretty small, poor Australian school. I didn't have the opportunity to do anything to do with the arts. so it's really not impossible for someone to want to get into acting and just not having the opportunity.
idk if it's the same for this guy, but I'm just saying it's possible
@@wowreacts9717 Yeah for sure there's lots of ways to get some form of experience either through drama classes, minor roles in school plays, clubs outside of school or even just watching interviews with actors about their process. Also, if you don't have any experience, DON'T EXPECT TO GET INTO JUILLIARD! I wouldn't apply for my science degree if I had never done any science before.
@@spac3chicken918 yea I agree lmao. maybe a community college is his best bet ..
@@spac3chicken918 boutta go apply for NASA
Im stupid as hell and only know that 34+34 is 77
Of course he's not getting into fucking JULLIARD, they didn't even accept queen Sharpay Evans
this made me scream today
Well her twin was the one who put in more work. Don’t try and act like Ryan didn’t deserve that scholarship.
that was my first thought lmao
@S Stewart 🙄🤚🏼
@@thatgirl1947 No no, Ryan absolutely deserved it. But they gave a spot to fucking Troy, a man who didn't even KNOW what Julliard was. 😭
What his fans also don't understand is - up until they started drama - HE COULD HAVE HAD A CHANCE NEXT YEAR.
So true. Like, if he had just practiced a bit more, than he could have gotten in next year!
Litterally, they are so immature.
Not anymore I bet.
Yup, no way they’ll let him anywhere near campus now.
@@huntsman9316"you have a degree from juilliard? That's cool. I have a restraining order from juilliard..."
Coming into this video, I learned:
1. Who Axel Webber is
2. What a Julliard is
3. This isn't a Drew Gooden video
i think ik why the 3th one but idk at the same time
@@shutthefuckup4006 it’s because they’re both compared a lot cause their videos are really similar
⁴
no, no im pretty sure this is drew
it is drew what are you talking about
He really just blacklisted himself from ever getting any serious acting jobs. Juilliard has like a 7% acceptance rate and his fans were really expecting someone with ZERO experience to get in.
And he picked one of the MOST overused Shakespeare monologues?! Bud you were the 100th Puck "I jest to Oberon" monologue they heard that day and you did a bad fake accent during it...OFC you didn't get in!
As someone who works in the arts: none of us like working with people who act and feel entitled. We've had to completely cut ties with artists because of how whiny and straight up disrespectful they were when told things they didn't like hearing. The arts community is VERY close knit among professionals, too, so once people find out you're an asshole with a massive ego who's impossible to work with, nobody will want to hire you, no matter how talented you are.
So I hope this kid is having a great time digging his own grave!
To be fair his fans blacklisted him.
Did he? I feel like it was more like his fans ruining his career, which does make me feel a bit bad for him. From what I understand, all he did was share something about his life, and then he told people to stop and they didn't...Idk, I'm not a fan of his and I guess I don't know all the details but it kinda seems like it's lowkey not his fault-
no i truly think it was his fans that blacklisted him. i really don’t understand why people thought that it was appropriate to threaten and flood the schools page like i’d be so embarrassed. i was embarrassed for him. at the end of the day, literally these ppl don’t know him and they most likely ruined shit for him.
It's absolutely because his fans are 11 year olds with a crush who don't understand how applications, auditions, universities, acting, or the real world works.
I quite like his content but sadly when you make vlog style content on TikTok, those are the main fanbase you end up with.
Exactly
Lmaooo true
Yeah seems like the guy doesn’t actually have talent
😂😂 so true
The way ppl are defending his “ acting” they haven’t seen a second of is actually so crazy like “ he will win an Oscar one day “ he can’t even practice an audition let alone make it through one without changing accents like what 😭😭😭😭
You can tell his fans have no idea how the acting industry (or just real life) works lol.
@@tokyoyoongi5538 They’re not fans they are stans. They’ve gone out of control lmao
@@tokyoyoongi5538 They expect it to work like some barbie movie where you audition for some play then a movie guy goes like “hey you good come work for us!”
reminds me of how in videos of people lipsyncing to tv show and movie audio and the comments are all just like "you're so good at acting! you deserve an oscar! you should get your own show!" and i assume some of them are joking but also a lot of them seem dead serious lmao...like that's not even how acting works
@@jasperjazzieand will call them iconic or an icon
Danny steadfastly refusing to age while simultaneously going grey is a total power move tbh
it looks like highlights!!
the sad thing is that his fans 100% got him blacklisted from any acting college that he had even the slimmest chance of getting into lmao.
Sad? 😆
@@npf6705 what?
dud didn't have a chance of getting into any college. He didn't know what Hamlett was.
@@thealmightyjack no, he had pretty much no chance of getting into an acting college, hence the "slimmest chance" part. he probably could've gotten into a smaller college or something, with some practice, but now I think he's just... fully screwed lmao.
@NPF well if he genuinely wants to act, it is sad
"Not everyone went to a prestigious university to learn how to act. Some just have rich parents" Danny delivering BARS!
First
@@jpecc8314 first on what??? this comment???
@@madimorie yes
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] Then why are you subbed to him? Also your profile pic is of Gacha so it voids your opinion
i paused the vid, scrolled down, read this comment, went back to the video just as he said what the comment said. is danny narrating my thoughts?
lots of enthusiastic theater kids manage to take shakespeare seriously, and they aren’t even trying to get into julliard. the fact he gave up on acting after one setback shows he’s not serious or acquainted with reality
acquainted with reality is my new phrase of the week, thanks
"I'm sure people think he's handsome" such a backhanded compliment lmao
Well I mean attractiveness is subjective
@@madsenproductions1795 yea! for example in my eyes hes not attractive at all! 😊
@@marimationsowo cool…? Again attractiveness is subjective so it’s fine to think that lmao
@@madsenproductions1795 im sorry if i came out agressive…? xD i was tryna agree with you but my tone is off
@@marimationsowo it’s fine lol
Auditioning to Juilliard without having done Shakespeare at all is kinda like appying for a math degree at Harvard and writing "PS: I don't fuck with fractions" in your application essay
im crying lmao
but what if you don't fuck with fractions?
@@Woke_Moralist Totally understandable in my book. But I doubt I have the same standards as Harvard
or MIT. And my daughter got into MIT and has her PhD. I drove to see her once when I found out her math instructor was a Nobel Prize winner, and I just wanted to meet one! (nice person!). Also she shared an apartment with 4 Romanians and a Japanese student, as they were "Much more into studying than the Americans" They all just worked HARD. But they also all love science and now have jobs they love and the pay is not bad.
@@Woke_Moralist Then Mathematics may not be your ideal degree.
Axel didn’t tell them to attack Juilliard but he did a very piss poor, half assed job telling them to stop.
He was straight up giggling and we're supposed to believe he wanted them to stop...
To be fair I have yet to see a young TikTok influencer actually make a good response to stuff like this or apologize in a normal way. Kids really shouldnt be allowed to manage a public profile of any kind that have a million+ followers. They definitely need a PR manager at that point.
EDIT: a lot of people are interpretating this like I'm saying that because he's young he shouldn't be responsible. That's not what I mean at all. He's 22, but he's still not mature enough to know what to censor online. It's not like you learn how to handle a following of millions of people ever. People will be stupid online no matter what, he is responsible for addressing it but the actions of his followers shouldn't always been seen as an extension of his actions. (I meant kids on TikTok in general as well, 12 yr olds shouldn't be allowed to have huge followings IMO)
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] Lmaooo that has nothing to do with OPs comment💀💀
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] yes I’m sure your gatcha-tube career is really kicking off
@@reanne1924 ,
Its probably best to ignore people like these, they are usually doing it for attention. (As you can see, its working by how much views they have)
having no acting experience and only applying to the single most exclusive acting program in the country is the sort of tomfoolery that i didn't think actually existed
Literally when I toured the school, the acting program is the most selective last year out of 6785 people who auditioned for the acting program, 16 undergrads got it...
there's something so crazy about this whole situation. he's acting like the average new yorker in a tiny apartment who actually has to deal with financial issues when in reality his parents are rich and he just wanted to get the poverty experience for fun. he's a privileged little white boy who moved to new york so he could get into one of the top acting schools in the world with no experience, yet his fans are still deluded into thinking he deserved to get in, so much so that they bombarded a post that was a memorial for a woman who passed away. and in the end, he gains 3 million followers, celebrity shout outs, news articles, and a modeling contract. gotta love cute white boy syndrome.
Not even cute though, he looks like a knock off jacob collier except without the talent.
@@cloudy7971 oof XD
White mediocrity.
@@animalfinatic9366 you’re being generous calling him mediocre
exactly. and idk if this is true but someone said his rent is $1500? if your rent is that high and your situation is that shitty, unless you absolutely need to be in that exact location for whatever reason you are there by choice. there are far less expensive options to live in NYC with better facilities. get a fucking grip axel
the absolute ferocity of his fans sending hate comments to a COLLEGE is terrifying.
Thats a sign they'll never be accepted into any college
It's absolutely wild considering like. Julliard is one of the most prestigious/selective arts universities - like, where is the energy for me not getting into harvard law smh
They literally commented on a memorial post…
And like we haven’t even seen him act?
@@ellielovegood6307 all TikTokers are "actors" apparently
It really grinds my gears that people had the energy to harass Juilliard for rejecting their favorite white boy of the week but no energy to actually call out Juilliard for raising their annual tuition to an egregious level DURING A PANDEMIC.
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] ok?
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] I'm sure this is on everyone's mind but who the hell asked?
That's not even on his radar cause he's literally rich. Like Danny said, his fans soak up that entitlement.
also them harrasing juliard under the post of a black women (alumni too) is so fk up
@@imjustsadbro532 This! And it was in memoriam of her too! 🤦🏽♀️
Conspiracy theory: He never wanted to get into Juilliard. He applied to the school to get rejected so he could make this a series on his tiktok channel, garner interest and views and gossip around the idea of “young guy gets rejected from top school” thus getting even more followers on tiktok, random advice from celebs which makes him seem “interesting”, etc etc. It’s all a ploy to just be famous for being famous like a Kardashian moment.
That could be true :0
yep he so did this, I believe this because his sister in law job is in social media , her job is to make people grow online , he took her tips , found something that would grab people attention and went along with it. he creeps me out especially him trying to act poor
he's not that smart
@@Abigart69 youre right tbh lmao
@@DirtMoss thank you frodo
This video is months old but I have to say this because holy shit. I got an ad right after the "They forced me to eat my dead dog" thing
and the ad started off with "A delicious journey is about to begin."
this made me hiccup
LMAO
OH NO
"I'm sure people think he's handsome" has to be the kindest way I've ever heard someone be called ugly.
lol yea in some others eyes hes quite handsome
honestly think he's lowkey ugly but he has a look that seems generally appealing...which is kinda what Papa said haha. (I actually thought he was calling him handsome!)
@@samaraisnt did you just call Danny “Papa” 😭
I'm sure that's not what he meant at all lmao he was just saying he's handsome
@@bun1932 exactly why are people so mean. Plus Danny would never call someone ugly just because🙄🙄
his fans attacking a prestigious college probably ruined his chances to be taken seriously as an actor
edit: he even said prior to his audition he had no acting experience. what were his fans expecting?
They commented on a memorial post…
@@ellielovegood6307 oh damn..
And he even told them to stop and they just kept doing it. Insane…
And he had very little chance anyway
Some fans are TOO loyal
As someone who is a social coordinator for a company. WHOEVER RUNS THE INSTA HAS 0 CONTROL, LEAVE THEM ALONE.
For which company
@@sami_irl why the fuck would they reveal that information lol
@@maddieb.4282 You're acting as tho they're some important celebrity bro shut up
i’ve done theatre for 8 years now and axel clearly has no grasp on how auditions work
1) if you can’t do an accent, don’t do it
2) if you don’t understand a piece, don’t do it
3) if you haven’t read the entire play your scene is coming from or don’t intend on reading the entire play, don’t do it
he legit broke all audition no nos
No like fr why the hell would you do a Shakespeare peice to begin with... Not only are they overdone but they're so incredibly hard to do.
honestly im just surprised that this guy somehow manages to always look like he's just gotten out of bed
pls i do too i dont like him but i dont see the problem😭
I remember seeing a viral tweet where someone said he looks like the year 2008
But like in the best way
i think that’s what makes him popular, he’s really dusty looking but he’s cute enough yk?
yeah Danny should brush his hair more
Sorry, I can’t get over Charlie Puth being like “I didn’t get into Juilliard, prestigious schools aren’t going to be what makes or breaks you.” And then immediately saying he went to Berklee. FUCKING BERKLEE. One of the most prestigious music schools out there.
It couldn't be more cringe if he tried. 😂😂😂
Thank you so much I was scrolling through all the comments trying to figure out who the celebrity was 😂
not me thinking he meant uc berkeley LMFAOO i was like .. i mean yeah i guess?
It feels like a joke lmao
@@xMelodyx5 I thought the same exact thing. I never heard of another Berklee except UC Berkeley. I thought he was just talking about the regular California state school
Unironically, pretending to have an accent and then doing the audition without one (aka your normal voice) is low key a genius idea. First off, your audition is that much more impressive since you’re able to completely “hide” your accent AND if and when they find out you don’t actually have an accent they will be mind blown that they were bamboozled by your acting BEFORE the audition even happened.
if i was one of the guys who auditioned people, i wouldn't even consider allowing someone who i suspect doesn't have an american accent onto the property
@@tonyisnotdead Why? I'm confused, lol.
@@tonyisnotdead what 😭 why
@@tonyisnotdead weird
I'm surprised you didn't even touch on the "Worlds smallest apartment" thing because there's a pretty good amount of drama about his neighbors being like "Dude I live in the same sized apartment and he's overreacting on how small it is."
Imagine if Juilliard released Axels audition to clap back at the harassment and it was so bad everyone just stopped right there and then 💀
i’d love to see it though lol
they HAVE to do that
OH MY GOD YES
Unfortunately they do not record first-round auditions at Juilliard, and as he did not even get a first callback there would be no footage💔💔 (know this as someone who applied for acting to Juilliard as well)
That would of been hilarious. I'd love to see how bad it was.
His fans were attacking a memorial post about a woman who died. And literally tried to get other students kicked out just for getting in.
Smh
White boy stan culture is another plague we’re also dealing with
I'm sure he's happy with all the new subscribers though...
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] ok
Classy.
i know you were joking about canceling the dmv but we fuckin' should. waiting in line for hours for them to tell you you dont have all the paperwork is a cancelable offense.
A fucking men to that. Fuck the DMV
It would take too long to cancel them. You did mention you have to wait in line for hours. They’re invincible
yo i'm with you on that, the dmv needs to be cancelled asap 💀
@@parkerknight8738 you finally get called up after 3 and a half hours of waiting, sweaty and thirsty bc u ran out of water 117 minutes ago, decreeing to the worker at the desk that the DMV is cancelled. the worker then, without looking up from her circa-1997 computer monitor, asks you if you have the required paperwork for cancelling them. you go out and get the paperwork, wait another several hours, and bring it back. you are a missing a form. you don't know how.
moral of the story? the DMV is a neutral-leanining evil SCP.
OMFG PLEASE AT 7:38 after Danny read the comment about the dog I GIT A DOORDASH AD 😭😭😭😭😭😭🤚🤚🤚🤚
his "fans" definitely got him blacklisted from Juilliard lol
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] says the gacha uploader
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] i don't think that's a good way to promote your channel, kid
Holy shit who wastes money on a bot just to advertise your shittily made “”troll””??

@@funnylittlecreature its just kinda sad at this point
Bruh, imagine a college getting slandered for not accepting someone who isn’t qualified.
Can you rally for me bc I didn’t get into Harvard
Lmao… welcome to customer service. People will threaten to report you to corporate for doing your job.
@@averylove4395 I’ll get the torches and pitchfork.
@@socalbarbie1040 LOL. If that’s the level of qualification to be an actor, no wonder Bollywood is gaining traction.
He’s “famous” he should be able to have anything he wants or else
how does he expect to get into one of the most prestigious acting schools in the world without even knowing about hamlet
i come back to this video frequently because axel makes me so angry and i need to let out my anger
1. I'm pretty sure he's now blacklisted from a lot of prestigious Schools because of this and 2. Imagine being the social media coordinator for Julliard, or however you spell it, and being fully puzzled by a spontaneous SURGE of comments about some kid you've never heard of.
They probably blocked certain terms in the comments including his name. Also, Juilliard. You were close, just forgot the extra i.
yeah his fans are stupid, they've probably ruined his life
It doesn't matter if he's blacklisted. He already got what he wanted which was clout and attention. I highly doubt he was serious about Julliard other than for attention. If he were actually serious he would have been prepping years ahead of time and he definitely would have heard of Shakespeare.
@@cocogoat1111 I mean that’s probably true. Especially cuz serious actors know Shakespeare
But like they probably did fuck with his chances of anything serious at least for a while
"I'm sure people think he's handsome" is probably the most backhanded way to say you think he's unattractive and I love it lol
Danny kinda popped off with that comment, very epic of him
right?? what a king.
Oh I figured he was just saying that cause he's straight lol
No, it's a way of saying he's handsome without saying he's handsome, because he's rather young and a male, and Danny likely doesn't want to get comments if he says, "He's attractive". It's weird that he went to the "privilege" place, because Danny himself is fair-skinned and considered by many of his fans to be handsome. Lots of people like his eyes. Beauty "privilege" is a weird thing to call people out on.
@@vepri9421 this isnt second grade, grow up
“My dog died on campus and they tied me up and made me eat it” I am in tears
It's like the opposite of Harry Potter, rejection letters just flying through the mail slot LMAO 🤣
This situation is way more unfair to Danny considering he wasn’t even offered an audition! This new information just shows how Juilliard is even worse than we heard!
I think you mean Noel Miller
I am the cool kid from Germany making videos for the USA and the rest of the world. I will make your day so don't say nay to me today, dear boa
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] cringe :flooshed:
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] I hope you know that your content is very terrible delete your RUclips
😂😂😂😂😂
The fact that he responds to Charlie Puth’s TikTok like he’s on the phone with him is just another kind of uncomfortable
i know right
I mean I feel like it’d be 10 times worse if he just sat there silently nodding to Charlie puth’s video💀
I was like "sHut UP, I CANT HEAR CHARLIE!!"
It was so frustrating
was axel making fun of him? because i feel like it came off that way, maybe it’s only me though. i feel like it’s kinda a dick move to make fun of someone who’s trying to comfort you genuinely ??
4:13
I never thought I could get this uncomfortable while watching a video
The people who try for Julliard are the kids who aimed to get in since like kindergarten or middle school drama class. Like trained thier whole lives to aim to get in there, Axle just went "I want to try acting"
dude if i were axel i’d be so embarrassed. i know he didn’t encourage this, but the fact that thousands of people are attacking a prestigious school for not accepting some guy is insane, like for all we know he could be a bad actor. tbh i wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t able to get into other schools bc of this
Apparently based on a few comments, they said that he been acting for a month
It all makes sense now
@@Noone-wt9jz a month?? yeah, no wonder he didn’t get in lmao
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] het bozo, this is how you get people to never want to subscribe to you.
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] you’re stating an opinion as a fact
@QueenJulica [BEST VlDEOS ON YT] oh my god go outside
"i assume he had some sort of acting prowess or did some sort of acting before he started applying to acting schools" yeah actually he did not. he had no acting experience at all which makes this whole thing even more bizarre
"But he's cute afff" - his fans probably
I mean he's an above average looking white guy, what more do you need
@@garou9914 pretty privilege is alive and well
It's so obviously a ploy to become famous. He decided to move into the smallest apartment in NYC(which was shown on a bunch of RUclips channels), then applied to Fucking Julliard without any experience.
It's sort of important to point out that axels family is extremely well off and his sister recently started an influencer marketing company. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if 90% of his tik toks are schticks to become an influencer and to help make his sisters company more credible/ well known in the influencer world.
him saying he doesn't understand Shakespeare made me wonder why he was trying to get in don't they do those kind of plays and study those kind of writings
I get the feeling of detachment from reality with this guy. It's creepy
they forced Juilliard to turn off the comments for a black woman’s memorial due to their terrible comments. they have no shame and it’s honestly disgusting
That’s just awful, but since when would ppl care? Ppl would be willing to go crazy for a “cute” white boy with some charisma and then screw ppl who don’t fall into that bubble ig as if they matter. 😒
I'm saying...this is just pure white mediocrity. You could literally just be a vaguely attractive white person on tiktok (and especially if you're upper middle class and up) and you'll garner millions of views and supporters for doing nothing majority of the time 😭 meanwhile blk creators ,who they usually use to get popular, get crumbs
@@rena4627 literally seen videos of blk ppl going missing or being murdered and no one gaf (unless the tragedy was already trending) but let a white woman cry on tiktok about a mean interaction
@@JanieBee Fr we have to deal with so much, yet we get more crap about speaking up against hateful acts rather than the people who are committing these acts. It’s baffles me how much more pity these terrible people get rather than those who are being harmed by it.
@R What are you getting at?
So he literally said himself this audition was horrible and people are mad at julliard for not letting him in?? Julliard's acting school accepts a group of 20-30 people, if I remember correctly. So, it's not a crazy thing that he got rejected, with no previous experience, never having read shaakespeare or done any preparation?? Tiktok is so fucking stupid sometimes.
LITERALLY???? He LITERALLY said that? Don't mess with me here, this is important: Did he say that, or did he LITERALLY say it????

@@ioncekilledamanwithmyshoe true
I've been doing acting as a hobby for the last decade, and I can absolutely promise you that the people judging your audition will not give you any kind of reaction no matter what they think of your performance, because they have to be objective during the process and can't show favouritism. I have been rejected in so many auditions and also had a director admit to my face that I was a top choice for a certain role, and each time I had no prior inkling about the outcome because the people doing your audition will never show it on their faces, so I don't know why this kid is whining about not getting a reaction and his fans literally starting a fight with a school. Even if his audition had gone well and his performance was the best out of everyone there, he still would not have gotten a reaction. That just goes to show that maybe he's not as good at/qualified for acting as him and his fans think?? I mean I wouldn't know if he's ever claimed to be a good actor or not or whether he has experience or not because I'm not on tiktok so I'm just speculating here.
why does danny seem like a better actor than axel himself w/ these little skits in between commentary 💀💀
Bc Danny at least was in a play before
One of my friends attended Juilliard for music and she has been playing violin and viola almost her entire life. Like, literally as soon as she was walking she was playing. She also worked her way up from our state's music conservatories, then another school out of state, THEN Julliard. No offense to Axel but a lot of people dedicate their lives to these arts and deserve that spot at the school. He should have maybe started at another school before going for something so grand 🤷🏻♀️
Congrats to your friend for getting in! And right? There are people who spend their WHOLE LIVES trying to get in and practicing.
This. Honestly, the only way a person really gets in schools like this via talent alone first shot is if they were child prodigies and we're caught early enough to hone that skill. And even then...
He clearly had no idea what Juilliard is intended for, or how hard so many people work to just get an audition and have the experience, and then still don't get in. He never should have applied.
yeah lmao my sister is an opera singer and she has done a ton of competitions and programs and already finished her undergrad and is gonna apply for julliard after a program she is going to do in italy and everyone there is impressive as all hell it’s insane
I took drama class in Jr year of high school and we read a lot of Shakespeare lmao even a basic English class you’re gonna go through some Shakespeare plays. This dude graduated and got a tik tok and then decided he wanted to go for one of the most prestigious schools for acting over night.
Even as a non-actor, it’s so obvious to me how much this guy doesn’t understand the industry. What he wants is so obviously mainstream Hollywood stardom, and his approach to that is… Juilliard? With no theater experience??? I bet he just googled “best acting schools” and went with the first result without doing any further research
@star faze yeah so he doesn’t deserve to get into Juilliard
@star faze what
@star faze doing something dumb isn’t less dumb if a lot of people do it
@star faze Yeah you kind of implied it
Probably watched High School Musical and thought "If Troy can get in, I can too"
"ACTING" and acting are different things. I studied Shakespearian theatre for 5 years, and didn't get into Julliard because I couldn't afford the flight to go there irl, and this was before the days of zoom.... which was kinda heartbreaking, but I'm over it, it was years ago.
This guy? He's not julliard material. He's laughable. Yikes.
They couldn’t figure out Skype?
the kid just shot his shot leave him alone smh (shaking my head (my head)) my head 🙄
Yeah I’m sure that’s the only reason you didn’t get into Julliard…
@@maddieb.4282 You know who ELSE didn't get into Julliard? MY MOM!!! 😎
im jealous of dannys therapist, like imagine each week you just hear so much tea of what is happening recently
the fact that he auditioned without knowing any Shakespeare is crazy like....as a drama student they shove Shakespeare down your throat any chance they get
And then he read something saying Oberon… which isn’t from Hamlet if I’m correct.

His conversation with Charlie Puth is so uncomfortable. Charlie can’t get out two words before Axel starts loudly reacting to everything he says like an NPC.
Axel’s attempt at getting accepted into Julliard was basically like trying to get into NASA by cosplaying as an astronaut.
Exactly. You worded it perfectly
While putting on a horribly done accent
Basically
“get into NASA”

I assist with a summer Shakespeare camp for kids 12+ every summer, and honestly the 15ish-year-old girl who played Puck this summer did 1000% better on that monologue than Axel.
I know in that clip he was still in the early stages of practicing, but it was pretty lackluster.
Shakespeare can be difficult to understand, yes, but there’s all sorts of resources available online or at the public library to help you a given play better. I’ve seen 12-year-olds understand Shakespeare well enough to perform it, and even small children in the audience can laugh at some of the sillier jokes.
I tried to get into an acting program and got rejected. They liked my acting but I talked about liking art too much in the interview and not acting, so they doubted my level of passion. ...After they advised me to not mention acting in the pre audition workshop, bc its a given I like acting if I'm there.
So where's my 4 mill followers fighting to help me, and where's modelling contract? 🙄 Oh yeah I'd have to post all that on tiktok first, but I'm too unattractive for the people and the algorithm there. Yes I'm bitter and no idc. I'm tired of people who do the bare minimum getting everything a lot of hard working people don't.
I know, life is unfair like that. You see tons of people get handsomely rewarded for either not doing shit, or being shit. Genuinely, I'm real sorry you got rejected. I hope something better comes along for you. 👍
As someone who also didn’t get accepted to Juilliard it’s kinda crazy to see this Axel situation. Juilliard has an insanely small acceptance rate and most people know that when applying. There are many reasons to criticize Juilliard, like them raising tuition costs during COVID and banning students from campus when they protested against tuition increases, but I don’t get why people are upset with Juilliard because they didn’t accept Axel? Apparently he barely has any acting experience and he only spent a month learning his audition pieces.
As for him doing an accent for his audition we’re taught NOT to do any accents. Unless you have a dialect coach most colleges want you to use your real voice.
Exactly! You’re SPITTING
It’s a joke relax lmao

they probably also got him blacklisted from other schools and may have ruined his chances of applying anywhere else now so that's awful
You have to realize that the people on tik tok are probably under the age of 17, and really dumb. The people that were "defending" him probably just thought he was handsome and don't understand how a relationship between someone and a school works

Not gonna lie, seeing Juilliard (aka one of the most prestigious and selective conservatories in the country, possibly the world) reject a tiktok star and a barrage of kids and teenagers pitching a fit over it is… almost hilarious? It’s amazing how TikTok can create such a nice cozy bubble of delusion, and even more amazing how impenetrable that bubble seems to be.
This is exactly why I don’t fuck with TikTok.
you’re acting like he’s a typical egotistical social media influencer lol he’s just a regular dude who made tiktoks about random things in his life and then he blew up after all this. before he auditioned he was just popular for being a poor guy in new york
That ain’t no bubble. It’s a reflective dome that just echos opinions over and over inside
@@glxysurfing read the NYT article about him. This kid’s a clout chaser, pure and simple. The “poor guy in New York” thing is a shtick.
@@glxysurfing that’s not what I said. Whether or not he’s a typical egotistical influencer, he might as well be, considering the way his fans reacted.
As someone who started acting at the age of 5, and now 18, I am still too scared to audition for a school like juilliard since i know they have really high standards; I wanted a few more years to refine my acting. But seeing Axel, someone who supposedly doesnt have any prior acting experience so i heard, audition for juilliard... just leaves a bitter taste on my tongue. Its like he sees it as a joke or something.
just scrolling thru comments but wanted to say pls audition omg you could definitely be selling yourself short & it'd be lifechanging if u got in + u have the experience
god axel has such fake charisma, i'm so frustrated listening to him talk. reminds me of being a theatre major in college... literally every guy is like this
Worst thing is, his fans were harassing Julliard's students on tiktok. This whole situation is so strange, especially when it comes to fan response :/

There is one thing acting and modeling have in common: a lot of people will be watching you. In that regard, I think he got all he could ask for.
100% accurate
yeah something tells me he didn't care about jiulliard or the art of acting, he just wanted the fame :/
Also he could still maybe finance some acting lessons, or get to know people in the industry…etc. I’ll give an analogy, imagine you’re an aspiring rapper and you producer your own music. You’re rapping career doesn’t take off but a major music label hires you as a producer because you’re 10x better at producing than you are at rapping. At the end of the day although you didn’t become a rapper you still technically fulfilled your dreams cause producers get PAID and also in this modern day era producers also get recognition. I think that’s a similar analogy to the actor/modelling scenario.
Correct but not. A lot of actors do modeling on the side, in fact many Modern Superhero and Soap opera actors are models. Modeling can really help portray things and is a good practice for acting.
a lot of actors and singers get their start modeling!!! like hunter schafer got her start modeling!
Danny’s videos are the only thing that let me get work done cause I’ve watched them so many times that I don’t have to look at it to process it and it’s always funny
1:10 him not knowing it as just a sharing button is so funny

The thing about Juilliard is that they provide classical training to their students, hence the Shakespeare audition. Had Axel applied to a school with a more modern/experimental approach to acting, he might have gotten in, though I'm not sure if his basic acting skills are stellar (as I haven't seen clips of his basic acting skills). Coming from an actor who has witnessed this time and time again, some performers simply aren't suited for Shakespeare. I've seen plenty of talented actors absolutely botch Shakespeare, and I know exactly where Axel went wrong. First, when acting Shakespeare, you must take time to process the text and understand the meaning, especially if the text is new to you or you aren't comfortable with early modern English. Upon his initial reading of the excerpt from Hamlet, you can hear exactly what people do if they aren't comfortable with Shakespeare; they read the rhythm and the rhyme as opposed to the words and the meaning. Second, Axel did not need to do an accent at all. People tend to think that one must perform Shakespeare in a British accent to "remain true to the source," but the issue is that the original British accent that Hamlet was performed in at The Globe is a far cry from a modern British accent. When a seasoned Shakespeare performer or director hears someone put on a modern British accent, it immediately shows that the performer is an amateur. Additionally, I simply don't think that Axel is suited for a theatre career. His sole goal is to become rich and famous as an actor, but this is often not the reality for someone who goes to school for theatre. You don't go to school for theatre because you want to be rich and famous; you do it because you love the craft. When you truly love the craft, you would be happy becoming a high school theatre teacher or a regional actor, even if you had wanted fame. It's certainly not a life for everyone---as it definitely isn't for me, currently a STEM major---and it definitely doesn't seem to be a life for Axel. If he wanted a career in theatre for the love of the craft, he would not have put all of his eggs in one prestigious basket. He would have applied to multiple schools. Instead, I think he just woke up one day and decided he wanted to be a movie star. Maybe he can make it into Addison Rae's next Netflix Original.
Well said.
Very well said! Just as a note, the text is from MSND, not Hamlet, but your point very much still stands, and thank you for sharing your experience!
@@jasonboomgarden4480 THANK YOU! I could have sworn Axel was given one of Puck's monologues, but then Katelyn W said Hamlet, and I started second-guessing myself... thank you for the validation

@@jasonboomgarden4480 My mistake. I knew it didn't sound familiar and I thought I heard Axel say it was Hamlet in the video. Haven't read MSND but it's definitely on my list!
Hello Danny Gonzalez my name is Marvin and i've stumbled upon your youtube channel not too long ago.
The first video of you that i watched was your reaction video to the disney channel movie "radio rebel"
and since then i've been watching your videos, i really like your sarcastic humor and how fun, light-hearted
your content is, also your videos with Dtew Gooden are hilarious you guys always get a laugh out of me.
By the way i like your parody music video "bad boy" i'm writing you from France, keep up the good work dude.
It’s not really surprising considering TikTok lets people believe they’re actually good at that type of stuff because they’re popular on the platform - a platform that‘s (unfortunately) notorious for lip syncing and weird POV “acting”.
It’s also kinda crappy. So many go in with hopes of passing the audition, but fail and never get that second chance. Hell, they may not even get the chance the first time to audition due to their financial situation even. They’ll never get to be interviewed by the media or be given other job opportunities based off that, either.
Kid is insanely privileged in that manner.
I went to high school with this guy, I find it so weird to see everyone talking about him lol
What was he like?

@@howboutnahh presumably axel lol
Yeah I’m an actor with 15 years of experience and I didn’t even apply to Juilliard because I knew how hard it would be, I instead chose to go to a smaller school with better resources and connections that fit me as an artist. I wish you had gone through his Backstage profile because you can see he has NO EXPERIENCE. He just wanted to be an actor and decided to shoot his shot at the HARDEST ACTING SCHOOL TO GET INTO. Now I don’t particularly like what Juilliard stands for, a lot of nepotism, privilege, and exclusiveness (opposite of what theatre means to me), but this was just a naive and ignorant choice on his part. He’s an attractive white boy with a ~quirky~ personality and look how much he’s getting rewarded for not putting in the work and effort to actually achieve his goals. The acting world has always been easiest for white men anyway, and he’s already bathing in success. It’s just disappointing.
you put it into words perfectly.
maybe that is why he aimed for that school, gods know rich white men is used to nepotism, privilege, and exclusiveness

@@shinyshinycufflinks omg Mark NO WAY
Love the content Danny keep it up
He might not have intentionally told his fanbase to attack the university but he clearly knows what he’s doing, he has rich parents and is basically just privileged. He was going to get what he wanted regardless, Juilliard or not
A huge problem with him is that he’s “acting” the part of a struggling person in New York with a tiny apartment when his parents are extremely well-off and he easily had the choice of living in a nicer apartment or at least furnishing his place with nicer furniture. He’s playing the struggle character pretty well… but not well enough to get into Juilliard lol
that last sentence.. BARS
oh, the burn
OR, or hear me out.. he likes the small apartment.
he’s 100% an industry plant
@@diacarat there are many julliard parents who spent a ton of money on instruments, lessons, tutors etc for their kids to learn the skills they need to get in. That still involves some work on the student/childs part. That is normal and considered the standard for those who do get in. What is privilege is him getting rewarded for nothing. Working for a spot and doing nothing to get one is not the same thing. you can argue that paying for classes and such is a form of privilege but i'd say thats still better than nepotism babies.
the worst thing about axel is that he pretends to be poor to get both clout and sympathy. his parents are rich, he’s been on over a dozen vacations in the last year, and he made a youtube video before he blew up saying that he was living the way he was for the “experience” of being poor. he’s conning his followers into thinking that he’s a rags to riches kid who got a modelling contract on nothing but his charisma. he’s not anything more than a privileged transplant cosplaying poverty to get famous.
Even his idea if being "poor" is delusional. He should try living without heat or ..hot water
That’s just fucked up
"Cosplaying poverty" is a perfect way to describe it! He's just picking and choosing the "fun" or "quirky" parts of being poor without any of the long term effects
I mean, maybe he just wants to save on rent so he doesn’t have to rely on money from his family, I know a ton of people who do the same. Don’t always have to assume the worst of people you know
@@kmarine8852 his apartment is $1500/month on the east side. he’s not saving money. he’s literally doing what he’s doing to deceive.
