Hi, I'm Ben Platt.
0:06
Hi, I'm Amandla Stenberg, and this is the Wired Autocomplete Interview where, oh wow, I'm gone.
0:12
I can't work like this.
0:15
Actually, what Ben Platt, what did Ben Platt win a Tony for?
0:25
I won a Tony for this musical called Dear Evan Hansen.
0:28
I don't know if you've heard of it or if you've heard me talking about it in the last seven to six years.
0:35
That's what I won my Tony for, and my whole family was there.
0:35
It was a very special, dream come true.
0:31
What is Ben Platt's phone number?
0:40
That's gonna be a pass from me in terms of sharing, in terms of sharing my phone number.
0:43
I will say that I posted a picture of my dog, of George, and it had my family's phone number on his collar just in case he like ever ran away.
0:56
And the story was up for like three minutes and then my friend texted me just like, 'Do you realize that like you just gave your family's phone number to the world?'
0:53
And so I really freaked out, but thankfully everybody online listened and stopped calling, so thank you.
1:06
That's kind.
1:06
Yeah, it's probably because you have like theater kids as fans and they're pretty nice.
1:11
Yeah, yeah, until you try to change a musical that they love and then they come for you.
1:14
Yeah.
1:17
What type of dog does Ben Platt have?
1:22
Drum roll.
1:25
Uh, I have a Labradoodle, and his name is George, Georgie Platt.
1:33
I named him for George Seurat, which is a real life artist, a portraitist artist, but also the main character of my favorite musical Sunday in the Park with George.
1:28
I have a big poster in my house of Sunday in the Park with George.
1:42
I named him that A, because it's my favorite musical and B, because when he was a puppy, he had these little dots on his nose and so that's why he's George, but they're gone now because he's a big boy.
1:42
What does Ben Platt sing in The Politician?
1:58
Oh, Season 2.
2:01
That was the twist, the twist of Season 2.
2:01
Well, in Season 1, I sang "River" by Joni Mitchell and a song from Assassins, which is a musical that Stephen Sondheim wrote.
2:01
And I think it was Zoey Deutch, hi Zoey, Season 2.
2:01
Oh, Season 2, I sang "Corner of the Sky" from Pippin, which is another fave musical, and it was also my senior high school role in my high school musical, which was Pippin, and I played Pippin.
2:07
It's so very full circle and I got to sing my song "Run Away" from my first album, Sing to Me Instead, on The Politician as well because it was free to use and it's a good song.
2:55
Thanks.
2:55
Hey, thanks.
2:55
Maybe someday someone will let me sing for my second album, Reverie, which you can get now.
2:55
Throw that thing out of here.
2:55
How am Amandla Stenberg, how am Amandla Stenberg, how is Amandla Stenberg?
2:55
I love that that's one of the first questions.
2:55
How is?
2:55
People want to know how you are.
2:55
Amandla Stenberg's, uh, pretty great.
2:55
Yeah, I would say yeah.
2:55
Living in New York City, I have a home for the first time in many years after bouncing around.
2:55
Just came back from Copenhagen visiting my dad Rob.
2:55
I'm doing, I'm doing pretty good, guys.
2:55
How nice is that to hear?
2:55
How did Amandla Stenberg become an actress?
2:55
How did I become an actress?
2:55
I started acting when I was about three or four because I wanted to be in commercials.
3:22
Pretty late on TV.
3:25
Late in the game.
3:28
Yeah, and then the first movie role that I booked was when I was 11, or no, eight, nine, wait, I just jumped around so much.
3:34
I was, I was nine.
3:36
I was nine and I played the younger version of Zoe Saldaña as an assassin.
3:46
Wow, so pretty cool from the gecko.
3:46
How old was Amandla Stenberg in The Hunger Games?
4:16
I was 12.
4:26
Wow, I remember you.
4:26
I played Rue in The Hunger Games, duh.
4:26
The baby Rue.
4:26
Has anyone not seen Hunger Games?
4:26
I was such a huge fan that I wouldn't leave their casting people alone because I heard they were making a movie and so I think I would call like every single day and then I got an audition.
4:26
I remember I got a callback and the casting director, Deborah Zane, she really like was rooting for me so I'm perpetually grateful to her.
4:26
But she told me, 'Okay, when you come back for the callback, make sure that you are dressed in character' because she knew this would kind of like help me really prove to them like what I would be like in the world of film.
4:26
And so I fully dressed up.
4:37
I think I had like a little cargo pants on and you know, the utilitarian vibe.
4:47
Okay, and going for it, running it.
4:49
And I remember rolling around in the backyard before I went so I was covered in mud.
4:56
And then when I arrived, it was at Gary Ross's house and he had like all like cream suede furniture.
5:05
And I remember just like shuffling through his living room, you know, like with all the other actresses there and everything.
5:10
I think eventually I like grabbed a stool from outside and just like sat in the corner because I was really nervous I was gonna ruin his couch.
5:17
But instead you booked it.
5:17
But I got the job, baby, because she went all in, you guys.
5:23
Show up covered in dirt for your next audition.
5:25
Exactly.
5:27
How tall is Amandla Stenberg?
5:31
To be specific, I guess that means like only Americans are curious about how tall I am.
5:31
Yeah, nobody else cares, right?
5:31
Well, Americans, I'm five feet tall and three inches, which is a fourth of a foot.
5:31
Is Ben Platt the astronaut on The Masked Singer?
5:31
No, sadly I'm not the astronaut on The Masked Singer, nor have I ever seen or been on The Masked Singer, but no shade to The Masked Singer.
5:31
You should go on The Masked Singer.
5:31
I think I'm good.
5:31
I like to sing with my face showing.
5:31
If I were to go on The Masked Singer, I would probably just do it in drag, so yeah.
5:31
Is Ben Platt the baby in Father of the Bride Too?
5:31
Yes, yes.
5:31
Wait, you are.
5:31
Well, I wasn't in actually in Father of the Bride Too, but we did a little Father of the Bride 3 like short film that Nancy Myers made during the pandemic and Florence Pugh and I played the babies grown up, so technically, yes, I am the baby in Father of the Bride Too.
5:31
So is Ben Platt on Cameo?
5:31
I am not on Cameo, sadly.
6:35
However, if you want to chill or meet, you can come to see my concert and I can see you from the audience, slash, you could also sign up to do a meet and greet and we could meet that way.
6:44
So what the heck is Cameo?
6:44
It's like a website where people can pay you to like make them video messages.
6:49
Like I got Noah for, for like, I don't even know what the occasion, maybe his birthday for, uh, I got her Megan's Alter like talking to him in a costume via Cameo.
6:59
Hi, Max Dalton, are you the best?
7:03
Okay, there's a lot of fun people on there.
7:04
Wow.
7:06
Is Ben Platt a Libra?
7:06
I actually don't know your sign.
7:12
I am a Libra.
7:12
I'm just past the cusp, but I'm, I'm a Libra.
7:12
I'm very like, very much the mediator, very much like middle of the road.
7:26
I feel that.
7:30
Even killed.
7:30
Thank you.
7:30
Yeah, I'm a Libra Scorpio.
7:30
I'm right on the cusp.
7:30
When's your birthday?
7:30
October 23rd, so I feel the Libra synergy between us.
7:30
I'm definitely probably a little crazier than you.
7:34
I'll let you have that.
7:37
Whereas I'm more neurotic.
7:39
Right.
7:41
Is Ben Platt nice?
7:44
No, so mean.
7:44
Really.
7:44
Cool, look at this face.
7:49
Such a mean, cruel face.
7:55
See, Amandla Stenberg, just in general.
7:55
Yeah.
7:57
What's up?
7:57
Why was Amandla Stenberg named Amandla?
8:03
Wow, I was named Amandla because Amandla, or how it's actually pronounced, Amandla, Amandla, means power in Zulu and Xhosa, and during apartheid in South Africa, it was a very popular rallying cry, 'Amandla Awethu!', which means 'Power to the people!'.
8:17
Amazing.
8:22
And my mom was like, 'I'm going to give my baby a name that means something.'
8:22
I love it.
8:24
You're the only Amandla that I know.
8:30
Why is Amandla Stenberg a role model?
8:30
I don't know why I was playing my own.
8:33
She's unique, queer, talented, confident, gorgeous, never before seen, unlike anything you've ever seen in your life.
8:43
Whatever that lady got, chew it up, put it in a blender, spit it out.
8:49
Is Amandla Stenberg vegan?
8:52
No, I love that that's like a question that people have.
8:56
Never in my life could I be vegan.
8:56
You love meat.
9:04
It's not even that I love meat.
9:00
I don't, I don't have the maturity in terms of my eating habits to ensure I would be getting all the nutrients and vitamins that I would need if I was vegan.
9:10
Absolutely, absolutely.
9:10
Also, I love burgers.
9:12
Amandla Stenberg fun facts.
9:12
Don't you just have like 10 fun facts about yourself ready to go at all times?
9:19
Fun fact, fun fact.
9:25
When I was younger, I used to voice over people's voices in movies because I like, I was good at watching the ADR on screen and figuring out the rhythm of how people were speaking and then replicating it.
9:36
Do you know like if I went back and like watched one of them where I would find your voice?
9:42
Why did I get married too, guys?
9:46
But I always felt kind of bad because I was like, 'Damn, some actress is gonna go see the movie and it's gonna be my voice.'
9:51
Well, if it's good ADR, they probably can't tell.
9:54
What does that, does that mean you could also win a lip sync for your life?
10:00
You think?
10:03
Yes.
10:03
Okay, it's actually my dream to lip sync for my life.
10:05
Mine too.
10:10
Amandla Stenberg, violin?
10:07
Violin, yes, I play the violin.
10:13
What?
10:14
I don't think I knew that.
10:14
You didn't know that?
10:15
That's sick.
10:15
Yeah, I play the violin.
10:16
I used to be a part of a folk band.
10:18
Embarrassing.
10:18
Oh, I thought I didn't know.
10:20
And I still play the violin, but now I don't play folk music.
10:23
I kind of play random, weird, I don't know, punky-ish sort of stuff.
10:28
So you're gonna play at the premiere?
10:29
Gonna do a performance?
10:30
Never in my life would I do that.
10:35
How high can Ben Platt sing?
10:40
Wow.
10:40
Do you know the note you can sing through?
10:48
You must.
10:48
Well, I don't know how high I can sing like period.
10:48
I would say like in a chest voice, which means like full voice belted, on a great day, I can sing like a C or a C sharp, but on like a any given day, probably like B flat, so for anyone that cares to know that.
10:58
Giving us that half step.
10:58
D2, where oh wow, I'm gone, I can't work like this.
11:05
Actually, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry.
11:08
This is actually really painful cardboard.
11:10
So sorry, I feel bad.
11:10
The edges are really sharp.
11:17
Where did Ben Platt go to summer camp?
11:17
Well, I went to Camp Ramah California in Ojai, which is a Jewish summer camp, which is basically like a regular summer camp except like you wear kippahs, which is like the little Jewish hats and you like do prayers sometimes.
11:28
But the highlight of my camp experience was Color Wars, which is where the whole camp is divided into four teams of like a hundred kids each, and then you fight in like sports competitions but more importantly in giant cheers and skits.
12:04
And so when I was the captain of the red team, Priority, we had gorgeous productions for every one of our cheers and we did win.
12:04
So why did Ben Platt leave Dear Evan Hansen?
12:04
Well, I had been working on the show for like three, four years.
12:04
I did all the readings, all the workshops, I did the Washington D.C. production, the Off-Broadway Second Stage production, and then I did the Broadway production for a year.
12:04
And it was a wonderful, fulfilling, beautiful experience, but very taxing physically, emotionally, mentally, all that stuff and just not super sustainable to continue to do eight times a week longer than that.
12:04
So I really wanted to leave while I still was standing and was still being, uh, be able to give a full performance and before I, you know, wear myself out too hard.
12:04
But then I got to come back and do the movie.
12:04
Very lucky.
12:04
Yes, you did.
12:04
Can I lean on you, Ben Platt?
12:04
Yeah, you can anytime.
12:44
The most important card of all.
12:44
Dear Evan Hansen.
12:46
Dear Evan Hansen.
12:46
We've been way too out of touch.
12:49
Okay.
12:51
Is Dear Evan Hansen a musical?
12:51
What do you think?
12:53
Yes, hardcore.
13:00
A lot of songs, great songs, Pasek and Paul songs and one Pasek and Paul Stenberg song.
13:01
Is Dear Evan Hansen fiction or non-fiction?
13:04
I feel like there are many non-fiction elements of it.
13:06
Totally.
13:06
There's a lot of, yes, there's a fictional story.
13:08
It is, it is totally fictional in terms of the story but inspired by a lot of contemporary truths that are non-fiction, but fiction.
13:16
There's no Evan Hansen except for the character who wrote Dear Evan Hansen music.
13:24
Pasek and Paul wrote it, brilliant songwriters who also wrote the musical Dogfight, the songs in La La Land, Greatest Showman, and then there's one new song that Amandla wrote with them.
13:38
What is the message of Dear Evan Hansen?
13:41
There's a lot of messages.
13:42
Well, I think there's different messages for for different people.
13:44
What's your fave message?
13:45
My fave message is that contending with mental health is a universal experience and something that so many more of us than you would maybe assume are dealing with and going through, and it's okay to not be okay.
14:01
You have value as a human being regardless of if you're at a high high or at a low low and you are deserving of love.
14:14
That's beautiful and I agree.
14:16
What did the Dear Evan Hansen letter say?
14:24
Well, there's several letters throughout the film, right?
14:24
But the kind of hero letter is, 'Dear Evan Hansen, today is going to be a good day and here's why, because all you have to do is just be yourself' and usually it ends with 'Sincerely Me', which is also the name of one of the songs in the movie.
14:39
I feel like I learned a lot about you.
14:39
I learned what Amandla means.
14:42
I learned that you play violin.
14:47
I learned that you were the baby in, uh, Father of the Bride and Father of the Bride.
14:47
Oh, no, but you did that with Florence Pugh.
14:50
Mm-hmm.
14:50
You gotta check that out.
14:52
I think I actually knew a lot of other stuff about you.
14:53
Thanks so much.
