  • “Do you ever think about me?” Um, an embarrassing amount of time…yes.
  • @enchantricks
    Got me giggling,kicking my feet,twirling my hair, on my knees
  • Throughout this video I kept switching between laughing my ass off and blushing like crazy
  • @elgronewald
    The “why did you have to love me like that? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LOVE ME BACK??” And “ you let me kiss you” 😭😭😭😭 every time
  • @meeniemoe
    Petition to get this man in a romantic drama movie stat. I need a Revolutionary Road type movie for him- his physicality when he acts is 💯. And he needs an Oscar.
  • gorgeous. his authenticity, facial flexibility, the way he looks at the camera at the right time....perfection
  • @sdf1979
    It's actually scary how good he is. His entire face changes and he just becomes whatever role he's in
  • His acting is impeccable and on point in every way. Playing a genuinely love sick character and creating a sense of anger and delusion as if he was losing someone and was so desperately clinging on to everything they had. Incredible
  • 5:21…”should I scream your name???” Yes, Pedro, you should, but let me take the AirPods out before you do.
  • @kaxidoscope
    Man just casually displayed an insane amount of talent
  • @robynsmith6388
    The emotion, the facial expressions, the body movements, it felt so real; as if this was a true video conversation with someone he lost. True performance…brava!
  • oh my god im so obsessed with this man its not even funny anymore 😭
  • Why am I obsessed with this now. I went through all the stages of greif in 6 minutes.
  • @skd116
    God this man is a master...the laugh at the beginning and the sudden switch to a serious expression then regains composure...feels like a genuine unhinged declaration of love.
  • "Sometimes I think maybe sometimes.. Maybe I made you up. Sometimes. So I go into the quietest part of this house and I whisper your name. I wish I could scream it..i should. Should I scream it? I will, I should." Is the most powerful line in this for me, especially the "I wish I could scream it." The emotion in it feels so raw. He's an incredible actor. :) <3
