Bo is completely right, she does sound like a shy girl trying not to be shy

[Emily-tusq]

Nice to see a normal person in Hollywood. A real life eight grader not a model playing a teen

[dyutiparnaguha]

She played Agnes??! SHE PLAYED AGNES??!! I love her already.

[smileforthecamera]

The way she says 15 and the thumbs up is the funniest thing I’ve seen

[notsohandyandy]

Lol it's weird seeing someone who isn't conditioned/acclimated to the Hollywood interview format. She's still awkward and goofy.

Also her weird head bob thing she does when she makes hand gestures is 100% me.

[kxena]

a child can be played by a child?? wWHhHaAaaTt?

[ema]

I love how casual and simple she is. Very rare to see such teenagers nowadays.

[AlxThSeal]

lol it's so strange to see just a normal, regular kid that hasn't yet been.. corrupted - for lack of a better word - by Hollywood.

[valhalla]

In my mind I'm constantly comparing her to Millie Bobby Brown (the girl from Stranger Things). While I love both of them, Millie is quite intimidating and Elsie reminds me more of me. I love that she's openly weird.

[writegirl]

I absolutely LOVE her. All of her mannerisms and references are so relatable for younger audiences, but she's still as eloquent and articulate as an adult. I'm so excited to follow her career :D

[abernathy]

“i just had creative differences with the game”

[NgocHuy]

IT’S BEEN 8 YEARS SINCE DESPICABLE ME CAME OUT... we’re getting old folks

[HereWeAre]

I don't even know her and I'm so proud of her. The movie is so beautiful

[SoniaAnastasiaaa]

Awe she is so awkward and cute I love it 😂♥️♥️

[bloodmime]

This was a really good interview on both their parts.

[juicyfruit]

Finally, an actor who isn't fake and I can relate to

[luvyou-baby]

she's gonna be a huge star one day.. her personality is awesome

[jamiebakr]

Soooo Elsie doesn't /just/ shine on screen. She is a well spoken, quick witted young woman and someone young girls can look up to Her future is looking super bright. Can't wait to see more Elsie projects.

[catheriner]

Her vocabulary is so mature for her age! Good luck to her in the future :)

[carolinehayden]

She’s really funny but I feel like some of her humor confused the adults
