FUN FACT, the Bartender in the Other Side song with Jackman and Efron was actually the CHOREOGRAPHER, which is why he's such an icon despite being a side character who doesn't have any speaking lines.
for the record Loren Allred was the real singing voice of Rebecca Ferguson's character. She never gets enough credit!
speaking of singing in an American accent but not being American: recommending _tick, tick...BOOM!_
"We have no tissues in this f***ing room... >.<" 😂
I find it literally impossible to make it through this film without crying. From Now On gets me every damn time!
See Greg crying in the thumbnail, never clicked on a video that fast!!
Greg, I gotta say one of the things I love most about this channel is your vulnerability with your emotions. It's so amazing and a big reason I have followed this channel for so long.
25:51 Greg: it's never enough Me: HE SAID THE THING!!
Greg saying "it's never enough" at 25:51 is CRAZY foreshadowing
