Why do they not talk about the wallows?
Lavish Drawings really underrated band

*Wallows
Best band I know so far, love them
Jimmy Kimmel, welcome to your tape!

I really like his shirt. It looks so comfy.
yes because silk is comfortable
Ikr! I was thinking that too!
Made of boyfriend material
I love silk its so comfort
2000 people liked that
It's so weird seeing him not acting
You get used to it with time lmao
Remar he sings too his band name is The wallows
@@ltsnowmanloz4411 without the The
omg init
@@ltsnowmanloz4411 he play guitar too
ok I need a movie with Dylan, Nick Robinson, Timothee Chalamet and Tom Holland; all of them in high school together.
I WOULD WATCH THAT
And freddie highmore
And Alex roe
Also dylan and nick can be hoody brothers lol
Also dylan and nick can be hoody brothers lol
Yes
“i think i learned stuff”
me after every year of school i finish
why does he still seem like he’s in character
Maybe that's who he is?
Exactly 😂😂
For real!!😂😂
sharadha hari I thought it was just me 😂
For the M E D I A
Thought he'd be either wearing a hoodie, or a shirt with a jacket.
🤣
His outfits always look so comfortable
After season 4 it would be the black denim jacket and a striped shirt 😂
@@sagemac2610 with an axe, spray paint, and a lighter
I honestly thought he was Percy Jackson for years
Me too lmao
Omg! I thought I was alone.
Same here
Nope
wait he isnt percy jackson?!1?1?!1?1!1 wtf i always thought he was
dude looks so gentle...
Apple Jack Elliott i bet his hands are so soft
ChillingLikeANarnian InNarnia I never khew thar
Not_A_Gamer I feel bad for you that you're circumcised
Not_A_Gamer I think because of lotion. That's a clue.
Not_A_Gamer yep. Some of them just depends on the foreskin.
This whole conversation gave me anxiety for some reason
Bruh same
Onke Faniso yeah his comments are so inappropriate
He’s a nervous capricorn lol he makes me nervous too
It was so awkward and weird
I person spoke so now I have anxiety
Dylan is so amazing. Seems like a really down to earth guy.
yh
Yeah really
4:59 THAT WAS THE MOST ADORABLE LAUGH IVE EVER HEARD AKDJSJFNND
Yup
He’s really good at making conversation like it wasn’t awkward or slow
it was a bit awkward though
Zaid Al-shalah Omg I can't any more people saying that any interview is awkward. I'd love to see you in this exercise.
And this interview wasn't awkward at all. Just a basic regular interview.
He said yeah like 1038373637647373387473$,747;! Times
yes!! How easily he engaged in conversation here was so natural and attractive wow
Did we watch the same interview? Look how he answers every question: "Yeah great...," "Of course...." "maybe.." lmao good voice, but definitely not good at conversation. Props to Jimmy for not slowing down though.
Am I the only one that felt like Jimmy rushed through the interview and didn't let him speak and kept disrespecting him, especially when he said his mom was there.
Yess it was so weird
Yass, I felt that too
Bc he can't just talk forever if he is running out of time he has to move on too the next question this is a live talk show
nah he's trying to help guide the conversation because it's the kid's first late night appearance. I think he sensed a kind of nervous energy and wanted to help him hit all the talking points. this is a very even-handed conversation compared to some other late night hosts...
Yep like the time he said about Dylan's fans in Rome and insulted his school or talking or about his mom, I guess Dylan is just nice.
Does jimmy know other countries can understand english?
Do you know that dubbing used to be very popular and normal until recently? National TV's in Europe won't usually broadcast anything in English.
lil meowmeow not all countries understand English 🤣🤦🏻♂️
KiNg SaVaGe true not all and its possible in italy for the dubbed version to be an option.
But i am from europe and i am speaking from experience
@@May04bwu in Belgium we've almost never dubbed anything (just put subtitles) unless for kid's movies 🤷♀️
Skitt Fangirling In Brazil too
It looks like Jimmy is talking to his younger self lol
I'll never unsee that now.
You're everywhere !wtf?i always saw you in the comments
FOR SURE MAAN
ScarlettP lmfao i thought that n im like im see if anyone already put that n here you is 😂👌😵
ScarlettP you changed your dp huh?
That pissed me off tho like he’s obviously nervous and Kimmel just kept disrespecting the guy
Yea he just keot goin with the school thing. That was shitty
If he's nervous then it's better if he keeps talking
Gonna cry
You clearly don't realize that a second of silence on a live TV show would probably make him stiff up. He's trying to loosen him up and get him comfortable not be an ass to him. Y'all are just too sensitive he's clearly not hurt by it.
Kimmel does that with every guess to feel better with himself. He has an inferiority complex.
The way he talks to Jimmy is how you awkwardly make safe jokes with your girlfriend's parents, desperately trying to leave a good impression lmfaooo
and always forcing a fake laugh lmao
who's here after season 4?
Yes
Season 4 ended so bad
Me
I stopped after season 1. Are the other seasons any good?
heyyy
He’s so adorable!
Alison DiLaurentis i6
Watch him in goosebumps movie and the open house on Netflix
PLL throwback lmao
You mean Quagmire
Always "adorable" as soon as he's on tv. Before that, he's probably an ugly loser or just "plain" 🙄...women
Dude, seeing Clay happy is shocking
His name is dylan 👏
because it's not clay
He seems similar to clay tho
Lol 🤣
He was also mark sloan’s “son” on greys anatomy 😂
Jaz Dela Cruz wasn’t he The little boy trick or treating for ears on greys ?
He was looking for ears. You are correct. 😄
Yahhhhhhh
He was also childhood Michael in prison break
He was also in an episode of supernatural.
I didn't realize how cute he was
Gosh Dylan is so cute OMFGGG and his personality is amazing so chill and humble 💙
*HIS VOICE* 😍
what about it?
I knooow it´s deep i love it, his singing voice it´s like that too
He speaks just like jimmy 😅
Mhmm
His voice is extremely attractive, I've noticed how attractive it is since the watching the first episode of 13 reasons why
Seeing him laugh and smile is crazy xD I always see him so angry or upset bc of 13 Reasons Why lol
dylan minnette, logan lerman, and dylan o'biren are the same person but in different fonts
HOW- IVE LITERALLY BEEN THINKING THIS FOR YEARS AND I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHY WE BRANCH THEM TOGETHER LIKE THIS
Right. And I love all 3
FINALLY SOMEONE SPIT IT OUT
I'd love a film or TV show where they were brothers XD that would be hilarious. Like, Dylan M and Logan could play twins with Dylan B as their older(?) brother, with plenty of melodrama like 13rw but with less heavy themes!
His voice, lol
He sounds much older.
aeon lincoln that's cuz he is 🤣 the power of puberty
aeon lincoln I remember he was a bit younger and he was on Agents of Shield and Goosebumps
Kakashi Hatake and he in the open house on netflix
Kakashi Hatake Hannah a ghost in Goosebumps
I feel as though Jimmy Kimnel was mocking the fact that he went to a school in a strip mall. Also its ridiculous that Jimmy Kimmel says "you don't need college."
Like Nicki Minaj said your career can go away, but no one can ever take your education from you.
Jimmy was so disrespectfull on this interview! Dylan hardly got time to talk, and when he did Jimmy interrupted and shot down his school and how he got discovered... and they hardly talked about the amazing show at all. Worst. Interview. Ever. And poor Dylan, it was his first interview :(
Cry much
Gonna cry
It wasn’t his first interview
@@cornado_1312 they said in the video it was his first late night interview.
ikr
I watched 13RW, both seasons just recently and was shocked to have learnt that Dylan Minnette did not get a single award nomination for this performance on season 1! WTF! he was mind blowing! I hope he gets some recognition for playing Clay Jensen this year as it's long overdue!!
Saw him first on Greys Anatomy
Joey F when he's trick or treating for ears lol
DollFace and he’s so adorable
He was in prison break too - younger michael schofield.
Loved how he tricked sloan
Joey F saw him first on supernatural he was like 8
Yeah he could pass off as jimmys son for sure
marszipan his younger version of himself
1K like!
i love Dylan so much, he is a great actor, singer and and amazing person. i love his style, voice and songs. in conclusion, i just love Dylan.
Jimmy Kimmel's one-note, cringe-worthy interview. So disappointing. I think he talked more than Dylan. More power to you, Dylan.
You know Jimmy, here in Italy we also have electricity, Internet connection and Netflix, some of us can even speak English and understand it, so... yeah, personally I can distinguish him from Justin Bieber :))
I'm from Sweden, which is one of the non english speaking countries in the world that's best at english. And I visited Rome last summer nad most people knew very little english.
@@viktor.jansen4998 well they did say "some of us" so dskjdjs
It was a joke lol
R/woooosh
That was racist from jimmy 😂
I personally think he looks like a younger Freddy Prinze Jr.
Henny Blanco definitely
Cameron Scott I can't believe no one has made that connection yet.
Henny Blanco me neither!! I don't really see Jimmy in him
Cameron Scott me either, at all.
Henny Blanco just finished watching She's all a that. Man I love that movie
he looks more like Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson) tbh 🤷♂️
Yess trueee!
Looks nothing like lerman lol. Imo.
I thought he was tbh
Yeah, they favor a lot. Every time I see him, I immediately think of the Percy Jackson movies 😂
They also act similar hahhaa
Why does jimmy keep putting him down like that?
Dylan: "People were screaming like i was justin bieber or something"
jimmy "Maybe they thought you were actually justin?"
why would he say that as if dylan doesnt deserve as much praise as justin? it sounds like as if jimmy is saying "ahw, they wouldnt scream for anyone except justin bieber. Why would they scream for you?"
and then that bit about, how people that watch the show in different languages dont actually praise him for his acting but rather fall in love with the dub, because they cant see his whole acting..what the hell?!
I was thinking the exact same thing! I felt so bad for him...not the best interview in my opinion
Aliya Ali in my opinion Jimmy tends to rush through interviews, I don’t really like him that much.
Exactly Dylan is such a charm and this old dude is sitting there with a chip on his shoulder
It’s called a joke, have you ever watched any of these late night shows before? It’s all banter that they are supposed to do. Stop being so sensitive, stop watching 13 reasons why if you are that sensitive.
iammixon TV oh sis..no no..don’t tell other people what to do 🤫
CLAY!!
CloneArmy PLAYDOH
JENSEN!!
First of all, its helmet
3’s Up ayy 💫
That’s the one
Very well spoken dude. Wouldn't have known it was his first talk show without him saying. Better than many who have done it for years.
He thought he was talking to Hannah...
I love Dylan Minnette. Dylan Minnette is very handsome. I love him so much.
He was talking to your mom
@@justinjr9787 nobody cares
When Dylan said his Mom was there Jimmy was like "Can you shut up?".
Is everyone forgetting the silent box office killer he was in. Called Don't Breate.
That was a great flick.
Gabriel Miramontes truee, that was a good movie
Trueeeeee! That's what it was! I knew I'd seen him before.
Gabriel Miramontes Yep. Alex from Don’t Breathe!
Gabriel Miramontes RIGHT THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING, IT WAS BOMB
Gabriel Miramontes yess
I wish clay was as likable as him in season 2
ImpulseGod what? Clay was more likeable in season 2 than season 1. I hated him in season 1 but now I understand why ppl love Clay
Arliotis Jeneva season 2 clay was a dickhead until the last 2 episodes. Always acting dumb and mad for no reason. But respect to him for having the balls to get justice though. He just needed to chill out.
Season 2 clay deserves a good punch in the face haha
Clay was so annoying in season 2
Wtf u saying. Season 2 clay is awesome
His interviews are heavily swayed with rhetorical sometimes rude, “funny” questions that aren’t questions
Dylan does NOT look like Kimmel. Dylan is super cute ❤
Jayci Minjarez they do look alike tho
Lmao they do
u just roasted jimmy lol
RIP jimmy
So is jimmy >:(
This kid is a great young talent. I can't wait to see more from him.
he is such a cutie
Emo Alien I could knock him over with a flick of my finger lol
How can jimmy not even mention he was also on prison break as the young Michael Scolfield.
I was waiting for that too!
Wait whatttt
riiight i was waiting for that
aw i love him
zoe karina he is my cousin
He's so soft
He look like Logan Lerman from the movie Percy Jackson
Barbara Thought I was the only one who saw a resemblance between the two...
Im pretty sure hes talked about this before. Lol. I think its been brought up anyways.
Barbara lol I thought that was him
Gabe same. Omg I’m shook
never heard of that movie although i love the books
Does anyone remember him from R.L. The Haunting Hour from Goosebumps
Tithi Paul hes also in goosebumps the movie
Now I know
I remember Prisoners
and the heroine of that film was named hannah
Ian’s prison break as 8 yr old Michael schofield
You know Dylan should go on buzzfeedceleb and read people's thirsty tweets like if u agree. Thanks fir all the likes everyone i've never gotten so many!!
+shin hyo seob yeah just another Nick Jonas!!
shin hyo seob that's highly offensive but okay, since you obviously ain't white it's fine aye? Lmao
@@sexcbyun9122 it's true tho, he is a very typical white boy really.
I love Dylan Minnette. Dylan Minnette is very handsome. Dylan Minnette is very smart.
Actually it's not a good idea lmao he is soft
You know, Jimmy, we europeans speak english too. No need to make stupid comments and act all intelligent. We probably know more languages than you Americans do, so... :l
that was disrespectful, i get that he was wrong but not all americans thinks that way.
Yah that was just rude
He is so cute😍😍😍
Ganga Sharma average
He’s so unique, he has a basic face but idk what makes him sooo cute 😍
Skylarssy...right😘😘
Dylan or Kimmel lol
😍
At least he wasn't wearing his headphones.
Meredith Grey built him ears! She is the reason he can hear the tapes. (Kidding)
Let the man speak! I feel like Jimmy was just picking on him during the whole interview, and don't get me wrong I think Jimmy is great at interviewing but this was bad 🤦🏽♀️
Annette Vasquez jimmy does this to almost everyone. He interjects himself like nearly every interview 🤷🏾♀️they know this
Annette Vasquez yeah I felt like he was making fun of him for not getting a “proper education” wtf
he barely asked about the show
Saaame he was being rude
Right? And just damn rude to him.
Jimmy you do realize people outside of America can actually understand English and see movies and stuff in the original language, do you? Also, subtitles ahah
Alice Opezzo agreed 😅
yeah, that is the point, i am brazilian, but here in brazil all of my friends watch this serie in portugues, because only 3 percent of the pupulantion understand english, but thank god i am one of these 3 percent and maybe I dont write so right, but I understand everything in English and I do watch with subtitles (IN ENGLISH)
Soccer BRazIL your English is pretty good, man.
Really dude? thanks a lot for the compliment, studying everyday hahah, it is so good to hear this
Soccer BRazIL no worries man, keep at it!
Am I the only one who doesn't see the resemblance?
lemon waffle no
lemon waffle no I don't really see it either
lemon waffle maybe the hair if anything
the eyes and eyebrows are very similar
It'd be easier to see if Jimmy didn't have facial hair lol
I feel like him and clay are the same person
wait i thought that too
Jordyn Sarbacker him and HAPPY clay
Yes even I think like that. That is the reason the producers chose him to play the role of Clay in 13 reasons why
*He became my favorite actor when he starred in “The Open House” (horror)*
He's like a mix of Shawn Mendes and Logan Lerman. ❤
Nessa omg perfect discription
Nessa no ? 🙂
I KNOW RIGHTTT
Nessa I thought I was the only one who sees that’s logan and Dylan look a like😭😂.
Looks like kimmel
He was on prison break too!
Yes! Young Michael Scofield
OMG really. I never knew that. I love prison break. Now I see he does quite look like Wentworth
Samantha Studios He was also on Grey's Anatomy
His Greys Anatomy character was so cute! Trick or Treating for ears!
Mik P which season omg how I'm revolving around his series appearances? Please tell me the season and episode
I miss clay 😭😭😭 even though 13rw just finished the season, I want more!!!
The fourth season comes out on June 5th!
Erin Rodda yes I saw on twitter!!!!
Larissa I’m super excited!
Erin Rodda yes me tooo, I can’t wait
I said one sentence to him the day before yesterday and he smiled and said "thanks."
He's very nice in person!
I'm already so hyped up on his next movies and shows.
emxne Watch Goosebumps and Prisoners. He’s so awesome on those!
wiinterflowers thanks, I will!
at least show us real prove
I loved Don't Breathe its a MUST watch, you will fall in love with Dylan.
I love Dylan Minnette. Dylan Minnette is handsome. Dylan Minnette is smart.
I actually think he looks so much like Anderson Cooper and also speaks and has similar facial expressions to Anderson as well
Spot on.
Janie Tyrell Thank you, now I can't look at him anymore.
guys they made Clay from 13reasons into real life
dang he's such a great actor like he's nothing like he is in 13 reasons y
Well now I really want to hear him sing Bye Bye Bye
karlah that could be the theme song for bi people. "Bi bi bi."
He does have a band, they should cover that song 😂
Ive had a crush on him since we were both in junior high haha I’m glad he’s doing so well for himself now
Just Chilin you went to school with him?? 👀
Buuuullllshit lol
Adele N just cause he's famous it's bullshit?
Just Chilin what school? ??
Just Chilin I bet he's your crush now . Cus he's famous now
He looks so similar in the show too
That shows how real his acting is♥️
13 reasons why is fictional and all.
And I still am feeling better the longer I see him speak so happily
Jimmy Kimmel actually repeatedly discourages young actors from going to college. Hahaha its so refreshing and strange to see an adult discourage college education.
HappyGeekChic because they're already rich and have careers. A poor moron like you and most kids do need to go to college though
HappyGeekChic in context he is already an actor
Mo no need to be rude. They were just pointing this out.. Also not everyone thinks like you. Gary vee encourages everyone to not go to college. It's a different path for everyone no matter how poor or rich they are
HappyGeekChic Because if you have the actor world laying there in front of you you have to be brainwashed to go waste your best years and several thousands of dollars on a cookie cutter education.
OlafGoldenHammer He has a right to free speech. He can speak anywhere he wants.
He’s so charismatic!
Anyone here after watching season 4?
"Strip Mall High School"
Sounds like a good school 😂😂😂
Helmet ❤
Saskia Riese I had to like this comment.
Tyler deserved better.
tyler’s broomstick scene was hilarious
Nikki Jay really hope you’re kidding...😒
Nikki Jay Smfh you are actually the worst for doing that
Nikki Jay hilarious? It was so heartbreaking to watch and I literally cried
His bum is destroyed
He was also the young Michael Scoufield in Prison Break
Just realised that 😱😱
Omg
He still looks like he's getting over the death of hannah baker
He's so nice... we need more people like him!
First of many, many more I'm sure.
New Message I clicked your profile because I actually thought I had a notification. Lol. I love those kinds of avatars
Who the hell are you and why do you comment on every video I watch?
New Message I see you everywhere.
I see you everywhere
You brave explorer you.
"Small town in Indiana" Lmao, I love how all of us who live here think it's a small town, but in reality it's the 3rd biggest city in Indiana.
He was also in Agents of SHIELD! Did a great job with what could have been a tricky role.
Often dubbers are so much older than actors (because they are professionals), so the Italian characters have very mature voices. I'm Italian and I always watch American TV series in orginal language, because 1. I can improve my English and 2. I think that even if the dubbers are great it is still weird to listen to a voice that belongs to another "body" when you know how the real actor's voice is. I'm used to hear Dylan's voice as Clay's voice so when I first saw the Italian trailer for 13 Reasons Why (Tredici) I was like: "What?! Who's this?! This is so weird it doesn't sound like Clay!"
Ilenia Grosso agreed! It’s the Same for me ( in Germany) we have great voice actors and they most likely make sure that the voice fits the character but it’s just not the same as the original voices and also the amount of voice actors that dub dozens of famous actors is annoying cos sometimes you watch a movie and you’re like by example hey isn’t that the voice of Zach from Scrubs cos you associate The voice actors voice with the first role he dubbed.does this happen in Italy as well ?
Franka Henley Yes of course! This happens in Italy as well! Often famous dubbers give their voices to many characters from many different movies and series, so sometimes you hear a familiar voice that belongs to other characters too 😂
Ilenia Grosso your English is great!!;)
tumblrstary Logina, Omg thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate them :D I'm sending you a big hug xx
Ilenia Grosso im sorry but i still think italian voices are perfect for any character. mi dispiace ma penso che il doppiaggio italiano sia perfetto per ogni personaggio
That brawl scene reminded me of high school and college.
As dumb as they were. I still miss it. 😅
Dylan is so confident and quirky here, I loved it. I just wish they had talked about Wallows here too
I remember him from 'let me in' i knew back then he was gonna be amazing!
Jimmy: “You dont needa go to college.”
Me: Okay🤷🏽♀️
he was in goosebumps
Coconut Leaf Spine and Don't Breathe
And the girl from Goosebumps name was Hannah and resembles Hannah Baker as well.
He was also in Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Who else came back here after watching season 3 🤷♀️
Danny Daniel me
After 1 actually
Dylan seems to be such a cool guy !
His laugh is the purest thing ever he even made me smile 😂❤️
i will always look at him as clay jensen
Major Lee He's great in that movie I can't remember the name of...
Cait Porter goosebumps?
Chrisroc1 Nah, where he's in the mountains with his mom
Cait Porter Its on Netflix, I think. I forgot too, lol.
Open House
Guys, this is not Clay, This is not helmet, this is Dylan.
Jasmine Karl this is library
No, This is Patrick!
Aaron In Style *im not a krusty krab*
His name is jeff😂😂
Jasmine Karl and Agents of Shield too! season 3
Seems like Kimmel is just clowning on poor Clay Jensen 😭
Rosy I know I hate it
Rosy I know, there s a difference in cutting up and just coming off as a jerk. Jimmy shouldn't have acted like that.
you gotta put this in your mind; don't call the actors by the name of one of their characters when you know the actor's name, it is disrespectful. he is dylan minnette, not clay jensen.
I went to school with his cousin in Southern Indiana and he was also involved in theater, acting and music! Must run in the family!
