If a cis male wore the same makeup, you would tell him to "grow up" and consider him a narcissist attentionwhore, this proves you haven't fully accepted Ian as male
The cast, the Show, Brit. Amazing Amazing!! Wishing Ian the best on his personal journey. So glad The OA is getting recognized more. Such a beautiful show!
Ahhhh I’m so glad Ellen loves The OA, and Brit and Ian look stunning as always!! 😊 I’ve been worried since Netflix hasn’t done the best at promoting this show, and likes on what is promoted seem lower than the rest of their stuff. But hopefully this helps 💚 We need Part 3!!
it's amazing that poeple in the spiritual community finally get to see a show that feels so real in our minds. Not sure if others feel this way but im so happy this show was released
I need to ask a serious question. When someone is a trans woman, that means a man who feels they are a woman. Is that right? And Ian, is he a girl who feels like he's a male? The full makeup is throwing me.
@@sweetangiegirl1 More & more males are embracing the makeup trend, straight or LGBTQ+ Not for me, but cool to see people being themselves (I am guilty of using foundation in my school years due to acne LOL)!
He seems like a nice dude. Bless him. Glad he is being given roles in Hollywood. Just found out he got a role in Star Trek discovery. Congratulations and all the best to him!
Your "progressive" Hollywood bans makeup and alternative fashion on cis male characters and you have to cut your hair short in a plain haircut if you want to make it in Hollywood as a cis male The anger of lack of tolerance for transwomen is caused by denying transwomen the female privilege of getting to express yourself with makeup and outlandish clothes without being considered narcissistic or immature You both want the cake and eat it
To Ian, Brit, Zal, and the entire OA cast on behalf of every fan I think it's safe to say we all love you and your show and the talent of every person that helped to create this wonderful work of art
Ian was always a nice kid. He deserves every opportunity and any kindness that comes his way. Thankful I ever knew him. YALL SHOULD STAN HIM BC HES ONE OF THE RARE UNPROBLEMATIC CELEBRITIES.
I think it's such a great interview to include online (ie on RUclips) because transitioning is a very expensive process but it can truly be vital for someone's survival. I'm so glad these things are being spoken about more openly. And enjoy the movie Ian :)
OA is out of this world....I mean amidst all the average shows, it stands out like a gem in the haystack....loved the concept,the story, the cast... literally everything about it. 💋💋💋
I am so happy that he feels accepted and I am so happy that he gets to start testosterone. He is an perfect example that not all trans guys have to be excessively masculine and can wear makeup. I am so proud to be a non binary person and it lights up my day when I see things like this
Does anyone else love how Brit sat there quietly in the most supportive way, not adding any comments or anything, just letting the spotlight shine on him. True OA.
I've just finished season 2 of The OA and I'm just excited. All the cast, the story, the script...it's all just perfectly devised. I loved it. All amazing actors. Brit is so talented as a director and as an actress. Really looking forward to next seasons
Ian: Yes, I'm struggling financially because I have to pay out-of-pocket for the FTM medical expenses I need to survive. Ellen: Oh! Well, here's a giftcard to the movies!! Audience: *claps*
Ian's words touched me so much. I am so glad Brit Marling and the other creators created The OA - a beautiful story that opens our minds and gives people the chance to be who they are
The fact that you would deem a cismale in makeup immature just proves you haven't fully accepted Ian as male It's like transmen are the only ones who should be allowed to go against the traditional dresscodes and be able to wear makeup according to you feminists
Omg I watched both The OA and The Last of Us, I knew Ian was playing Lev in tlou but I never made the connection between those! I just now realized he was in the oa
Same! I started re-watching s1 because I need more of OA too) If you haven't seen 'The Sound of My Voice', 'Another Earth', 'The East' or 'I, Origin', I highly recommend to check them all. Brit's in all of them and these movies have the same feel to it as the OA.
So sweet! I mean can anyone look at this and not agree that these are just normal people living out their own lives being happy the way they are, doing what they love?
I followed Ian on Tumblr and I remember him reblogging that casting post being shocked that it fit his description so pefectly. So great to see how far he’s come!
The OA is incredible! From the story to the cast.. it’s an instant classic
I think it's amazing for people in the spiritual community for finally see a show like this finally starting to reach more people :)
!!
He went to my school before he got really famous, I love him
Lucky
Aweee lucky!
Olivia Q. Aw that's awesome
do you go to Lake Braddock? That’s where I go and I’ve seen him in the school’s talent show
Olivia Q. yes I do
Number one, I didn't think that the comments section would be open, number two: so glad there aren't any mean comments.
kcmn00 That's the first thing I said/ felt too, I was surprised by the same thing you were.
the comments on Ellen's Instagram were so mean though
Ah his voice is so soothing! Could listen to him speak for hours
i'm low-key really excited to hear his voice change with testosterone (and his character Buck's voice too)
Nosuperman Ian goes by he/him.
@@manriquebuk He prefers him ( he isnt "done" yet, he says )
@@quilynn Yea ! It is developing almost to an "Ellen Page" sound - i love it!
Then I guess you like female voices
Ian is criminally stylish for a teen. I'm sure that's against the law or something.
I love Ian!!!
the 80's called and they want they're earrings back.
Dillinger R. Those do kind of look like Boy George earrings. I love Boy George. Karma Chameleon is one of my favorite songs.
yes
If a cis male wore the same makeup, you would tell him to "grow up" and consider him a narcissist attentionwhore, this proves you haven't fully accepted Ian as male
My boy ian is on Ellen AND starting T in the same week? Im so proud! Nothing but love for him
i’m sooo ready for the oa part 3, the ending of part 2 was so cool ugh brit is a theatrical genius
RIP it was canceled
F

It's like Brit wrote the character specifically for him
there's a reason he felt so drawn to apply for the role :)
Yes! Ellen loves OA so now Netflix can't cancel it cause that would literally be a crime
Fr 😂
Boycott the cancellation!
They need to resume this show my god.. it sucks to not have more episodes and finish the story
The fact that they did tho :(
@@nishuthakkar4054 its not making enough money, not as much people have watched it.
He looked SO happy for those tickets! 😁
The cast, the Show, Brit. Amazing Amazing!! Wishing Ian the best on his personal journey. So glad The OA is getting recognized more. Such a beautiful show!
He is a brilliant actor, I can't believe he had no prior acting experience!!!! I love how things just happen like this. It was meant to be ((:

Ellen probably never watched the OA though.
Ian, you are such a handsome young man. Your soul seems kind and giving. May the world be open, accepting, and nurturing towards you.
Best show I have watched in a LONG LONG TIME, the OA is a true masterpiece.
it's amazing that poeple in the spiritual community finally get to see a show that feels so real in our minds. Not sure if others feel this way but im so happy this show was released
As a trans male I know how hard it is to be who you are specially when the people around you don't help... Congrats on starting T!!
I need to ask a serious question. When someone is a trans woman, that means a man who feels they are a woman. Is that right? And Ian, is he a girl who feels like he's a male? The full makeup is throwing me.
I love you...no matter what. And for sure I am not the only one.
sweetangiegirl1 yes, except we don’t say they “feel like” the gender they identify, they just are! Yes Ian was born female but he is male now
@@sweetangiegirl1 More & more males are embracing the makeup trend, straight or LGBTQ+
Not for me, but cool to see people being themselves (I am guilty of using foundation in my school years due to acne LOL)!
Well TLOU 2 did help him 😂❤

Aww this makes my heart so happy. Happy birthday Ian! You are such an inspiration and I love your character in the OA! ♥️

Am I the only one here because I googled Lev’s actor from TLOU2??
Yes and I wanted to hear his voice it kinda sounds lev but a bit higher
@@jaimie-leeward1817 he's on testosterone and having a deeper voice now
I love both The OA and TLOU2 btw
Yep
I love the oa so much I’m so happy it’s getting promotion and we can see more interviews of the cast &Brit Marling. She is amazing!!!
He did such a great job on both seasons. He was my favorite character 😊
I click on anything oa as soon as I see it
Ian is just gorgeous, a beautiful soul 🌹🌸💕
I want a season 3!!! Someone please pick the show up!!!
Just realized that that Ian voiced a character in the video game, “Last Of Us Part 2!”
Yeah samee
I have crated some amazing art inspired by this show. Bring it back!!!
Wow that's incredibly awesome
Everything about this show is amazing, the cast is beyond great. LOVE IT!
Ian was always a nice kid. He deserves every opportunity and any kindness that comes his way. Thankful I ever knew him. YALL SHOULD STAN HIM BC HES ONE OF THE RARE UNPROBLEMATIC CELEBRITIES.
I stan him
Ian has grown up SO MUCH since part I came out. I'm so proud of him
I think it's such a great interview to include online (ie on RUclips) because transitioning is a very expensive process but it can truly be vital for someone's survival. I'm so glad these things are being spoken about more openly. And enjoy the movie Ian :)
The OA is simply incredible. That ending of Part II was shocking 😱
I love them. They both are a part of the most beautiful serie in the whole world lol. Love them tooooo much!🤩🥵
He is so unconventional and I love it. making us all proud I rlly could cry
I love the OA, Britt & the cast. He’s such a beautiful person.
My boy did such a great job as Lev
OA is out of this world....I mean amidst all the average shows, it stands out like a gem in the haystack....loved the concept,the story, the cast... literally everything about it. 💋💋💋
How much are you paying him?? Lol
Ian Alexander is amazing! Thanks for sharing your story.
Diana R your account is fake and based on algorithms
Literally the best show on Netflix
I am so happy that he feels accepted and I am so happy that he gets to start testosterone. He is an perfect example that not all trans guys have to be excessively masculine and can wear makeup. I am so proud to be a non binary person and it lights up my day when I see things like this
You can watch some of his more recent videos. His voice is lower, but still quite pleasant
Amazing performances across the board from all of the young actors on The OA. The Emmys should be ashamed for ignoring this show.
Does anyone else love how Brit sat there quietly in the most supportive way, not adding any comments or anything, just letting the spotlight shine on him. True OA.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THE OA, ELLEN AND ANYONE WHO IS BRAVE ENOUGH TO TAKE THEIR JOURNEY AND LIVE IN THEIR TRUTH.... 1 LIFE, 1 LOVE :-)
