After the backlash from dear Evan Hansen, Ben Platt shares honest feelings on the Internet (and Twitter in particular)

when the trailer for Dear Evan Hansen released for the first time People on Twitter have had no problem giving negative reviews. They felt the need to point out that Ben Platt seemed too old for the role and that his getting the part of him was based on reasons of nepotism. After suffering a backlash for his role in Dear Evan Hansen, the 29-year-old has talked about his honest feelings on the Internet and Twitter.

It is ironic that social media influenced the story of Dear Evan Hansen. Evan became an Internet phenomenon on YouTube when he unveiled a foundation based on a college student who committed suicide only to face a backlash when his secret of not really being friends with that student came to light. In an interview with The New York Times Ben Platt expressed the “difficult experience” he had with the Internet afterwards Dear Evan Hansen came out and how he wanted people to see the musical adaptation of the film in a more positive light.

It was definitely a disappointing and difficult experience and it opened my eyes to the internet and how terrible it can be. You’d think, after playing Dear Evan Hansen on stage for four years, I’d know by now. I try my best to focus on the people who tell me they have been touched and really felt seen. It is very easy for the good to be stifled by the bad.

This is good advice whenever you encounter negativity. If a work of art you have made has been able to show the hearts of the few compared to the masses, you need to pay attention to the few. Ben Platt went through hints at his age when fans who viewed the trailer pointed out that his older appearance looked more like a college student than a high school student. But Platt responded to those blows by signaling to just look Great as the cast of this musical film was between 20 and 30 years old. It has also been criticized that the only reason for the you’re perfect The casting of the star is due to the fact that her father produced the film. Personally, I think it was a good choice for the then 28-year-old actor to reprise his Tony Award-winning role. The problem was that they should have done a better job of making him look seventeen.

Platt says he is currently no longer active on Twitter. But he felt that doing a social media cleanup was really good for him.

It seems to me that Twitter is almost exclusively about killing people. I wasn’t getting anything positive, and it was really good to be away.

It’s easy to want to kick a celebrity out on Twitter when you know they can’t see your face and probably won’t respond. At the same time, celebrities have the same feelings as any other human being and read the answers. Twitter users will not only try to take down a celebrity, but the criticism can be just as harsh. reviews of Dear Evan Hansen he had problems with directing the film, but he had a number of “obvious problems” and “distractions” that he couldn’t ignore. Fans also responded to the Broadway adaptation. with harsh reviews pointing out the film’s flaws, Platt’s age (obviously) and calling it the “worst” musical adaptation. When you see negative reactions like this for a handful, it can make anyone want to leave social media if these posts are about you.

Despite the backlash the film has faced, it’s important to see both sides of any story that has moved some fans. Dear Evan Hansen and I loved Ben Platt’s performance. No matter what the hateful Tony Award winners say, Platt always comes back to his Dear Evan Hansen positive experience.

It will always be a piece of me. I have a simultaneous pride and desire to keep it in my heart at all times, but also a real drive and excitement for moving on and embracing my adulthood and playing characters who live in worlds other than that: the. I had to live in this world for a long time, and it wasn’t the easiest world to live in. So I look at it fondly, but I’m also happy to move on.

Ben Platt’s days on social media may be over, but his work as an artist will continue. He will act in another musical adaptation theater field is based on the short film in which he starred, co-wrote and produced. She also made her return to the stage with the musical parade where critics responded very well to his performance.
