And he's smart as hell too. He graduated as an architect from UC Berkeley, one of the best universities in the US. When he realized that architecture wasn't his true calling, he decided to quit and pursue his dream of acting by going to Yale School of Drama.
I haven't had much trouble recognizing him, but he did catch me by surprise a few weeks ago when I noticed him in Baywatch. Didn't know he was so funny.
He's gonna kill it in Candyman as well. They filmed in our city. Several friends were extras and they said he was like the nicest person ever. He wasn't in character he was just hanging out behind the scenes during the stuff that my friends were doing. He seems really genuine and just a cool ass dude all around. Finally caught him Aquaman recently and he was brilliant. Hope he has a long career.
Just had to google him in all the movies he listed off, I was like "he wasn't in those movies.... damn it... he was and I loved him in all of them." Totally an unknowing fan! What an amazing actor!
kyle wiley he actually and like most people from Africa they have a diverse vocabulary so it’s easier for them to articulate people without basic white names.
@G "Abdul" means: (the worshiper of...) "Mateen" is one of the 99 names of God almighty. I'm not sure how to translate it to English but it is almost: (the strong one who has an endless strength, and who doesn't ever get tired after using his strength).
Great interview Trevor. You're one of few people who seem to pronounce people's name correctly and with ease. I also enjoy your ability to compliment ones body with simplicity. YOU ROCK!
Trevor wanted to shake his hand, as he does with all of his (male) guests but the actor didn't pick it up so Trevor had to gloss over. Amazing interview. Haven't watched the series yet. Gonna be watching it as soon as I have some time.
I like to think of myself as a handsome man (it's good to love yourself *snaps*). But this man just comes along and puts me in my place to remind me that I am definitely not God's gift to women. This... Is a gorgeous man. That beard though 👌🏾
@@khalidash John is the equivalent of Yahia because he was a semitic person who spoke Aramaic which is very close to classical Arabic and for ancient Arabs Aramaic is just an Arab dialect..Yahia means the verb "live"
The way he says welcome to the show in the beginning of all his clips reminds me of a rap/rock song, but I can't remember the name of the song. Anyone?
For everyone hyping up his Islamic name, he’s a devout Christian and has talked about it in interviews. His name comes from his Muslim dad who died when he was young
Merry Christmas to all! I still need to see Us and maybe Watchmen but there's another Matrix in the works? I saw the first one pretty recently and I definitely want to see the second one and third one.
@@ayairshead4207 lol you shouldn't have made that comment... Arabians speak Arabic which is an official language of Islam. Islam is a religion not a language. Muslim are encouraged to speak Arabic language, but other muslima have their own language and speak Arabic in addition. So the name can't be the religion... you can enlighten us about which language/cultures originated that name. You could have said it's an Islamic name but not specific to Arabia, that is what I think you wanna say?
How did Trevor not ask about all that blue body paint *and* what it was like to apply/remove it?! And of course, what it was like to have a blue, um, ya know....
2 secure men complementing and accepting compliments like this is really beautiful
Secure on what? You never know who gets down
Ja Ro secure in their sexuality whatever it may be.
trevor is right--he does have a presence. what a sweet demeanor and so calm, cool, and authentic!
Hahaha!! Watch the get down.....he's the opposite of this guy.
@@boughtbot2639 great actor, too
Adrienne Boullianne maybe because of his relegion that is reflecting that thing on his appearance
Damnit man. Such a gorgeous brother. He is charismatic and just an overall well crafted man. I will now find all of his work and binge watch 😍😍.
Erika Joielle me too😁
And he's smart as hell too. He graduated as an architect from UC Berkeley, one of the best universities in the US. When he realized that architecture wasn't his true calling, he decided to quit and pursue his dream of acting by going to Yale School of Drama.
You can see his penis on Watchmen
I haven't had much trouble recognizing him, but he did catch me by surprise a few weeks ago when I noticed him in Baywatch. Didn't know he was so funny.

J Maj they remaking candyman ??? 😳
This guy comes across as so calm, confident, poised yet relaxed. He seems like a safe presence to be around.
It's that big D energy.
Both of them at one time 🥰 and love how Trevor always pronounces everyone’s name correctly!
Joys of being African
I love how Yayha knows he is beautiful and embraces it.
But he’s so nice about it too.
@@BlackDoveNYC He has so much star quality. Really has the X factor.
Yahya is SO damn fly. He seems dope as person and I've enjoyed every character he's played.
This dude for real killed that roll. Perfect actor for Cal/Dr.Manhattan
This man is really blessed with something big
Zikri lol
No lie. He got that big D energy.
Definitely yes.
Lol I see you seeing him...
Just had to google him in all the movies he listed off, I was like "he wasn't in those movies.... damn it... he was and I loved him in all of them." Totally an unknowing fan! What an amazing actor!
Saw this dude in the get down knew he was going to be something special he just has it and the dude can dance
Is it me or trevor seems to be the one host who manages to say almost everyone's name correctly. Or am i reaching?
kyle wiley you’re correct. Trevor actually cares
kyle wiley he actually and like most people from Africa they have a diverse vocabulary so it’s easier for them to articulate people without basic white names.
@@CarbonDragonFly good point
He speaks like 5+ languages. Diversified tongue
That's an ABC for any host to do is to practice on the name of his guest
I love how Trevor Noah amplifies the voices of so many accomplished people of color. Thanks for helping us all counter the unthinking bias.
i just wanna say that i saw watchmen and he is Blessed
I loved how he smiled at the end when Trevor pronounced his name right 💓
Watchmen is one of the best shows of 2019. It's amazing... and he's an amazing talent.
The name "Yahya" is the Arabic equivalent to the name "John".
Which is the name one of the prophets of God almighty.
Like if you didn't know.. ☺️
That prophet (yahya) was prophet jesus's cousin .
I knew but I just liked it. Ma sha Allah
@G "Abdul" means: (the worshiper of...)
"Mateen" is one of the 99 names of God almighty. I'm not sure how to translate it to English but it is almost: (the strong one who has an endless strength, and who doesn't ever get tired after using his strength).
@Malcom S be positive 😁👍🏼
Nobody cares about Islam so spare us the fluff dude, just enjoy this nice clip
Great interview Trevor. You're one of few people who seem to pronounce people's name correctly and with ease. I also enjoy your ability to compliment ones body with simplicity. YOU ROCK!
I'm one of the Get Down fans lol he captured me back then
I feel you especially during the dance off with "Rock Steady " by Aretha Franklin
I loved his performance in Watchmen!
He seems like a great guy. I hope he continues to grow and master his craft.
Dr. Manhattan! I remember watching him for the first time, seeing his dance moves from The Get Down.
Great actor, he will receive many more roles.
Am I the only one that knows him from a black mirror episode??
Yes, abt visual gay sex. Damn he does looks different in every character
Hahahaha! Was just about to point that out!
This man is everywhere
I can't believe that I watched watchmen and didn't recognise him😱😱
Yes rip that was the first and only black mirror episode I watched because 😍
Mr Manhattan...that voice is mesmerizing
It's Dr
@@shanhussain6114 yeah, its Dr, Dr STRANGE....
Seems like we found Trevor's man crush 😂
(I'm really here though for men giving other men compliments and uplifting them)
@D W ...okay? Hope this fulfilled you in some way. Have nice day.
@D W must be fun to be you🙂
@D W Get out the closet dude! That MO is outdated🙄
@@TheLilly I think it's better to just ignore.
sweetiiey yes but anyway I totally agree with your comment I’m all here for everybody uplifting each other and positivity.
I love YaYa i got to meet him early this year at Celebrity fan fest in San Antonio such a cool guy!!!
What a beautiful human being!
Absurdly likeable.
Saw him on black mirror...genius
Peace on Earth. Goodwill to all.
i loved you first in the get down Mr. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and i have recognized everywhere

I was waiting to see how long it would take for him to mention how blessed Yahya is 👀😂
i was surprised to discover trevor gotta big ol' booty! he blessed too.
@@Lil08103 where did u see Trevor's ass?
@@Lil08103 Yessss lol! He talks about it a lot too. He says he hated it because he used to be teased about it.
This man can get a job. I love it
Love his southern accent! He’s so damn beautiful.
God he is so gorgeous I loved him in watch men 😍😍😍
Thanks so much and Merry Christmas
He is a handsome fella. I will be watching this.
I love both of them. Trevor and Yahya!!!
Angela Abar sure picked a good body for Dr. Manhattan to take over.😏
Trevor wanted to shake his hand, as he does with all of his (male) guests but the actor didn't pick it up so Trevor had to gloss over. Amazing interview. Haven't watched the series yet. Gonna be watching it as soon as I have some time.
Hes fine!
Merry Christmas Trevor. Thanks for making me laugh every day all the way from Pacific Island, Papua New Guinea.
I like to think of myself as a handsome man (it's good to love yourself *snaps*). But this man just comes along and puts me in my place to remind me that I am definitely not God's gift to women. This... Is a gorgeous man. That beard though 👌🏾
Bull Sigh ❤️♥️❤️
What a beautiful man
Oh dang! He was in the Get Down!
Can't wait to see him in Candyman 2020🖤
Me too! I mean this guy is getting all the good stuff out there.
First time I watched a daily show segment and only had eyes for the guest
I had no idea that was him in Us. Wow what a couple of years for him...
Beautiful man!
Oh totally my type 🤧 , an amazing person
Merry Christmas everyone wherever you are in this world.

But no one talk about the anacanda n the room🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I saw it.
Yah is smart and cute 😍
Merry Christmas Trevor Noah 🎄🎁🎁🎁💖
I clicked to learn how to say his name
The name "Yahya" is the Arabic equivalent to the name "John".
Like if you didn't know.. ☺️
It’s Yahya but pronounced as Yaya
يحيى عبد المتين الثاني
@@mohameddahir6151 its pronounced Yahya. But the soft h is difficult to pronounce for non-Arabic speakers.
@@khalidash John is the equivalent of Yahia because he was a semitic person who spoke Aramaic which is very close to classical Arabic and for ancient Arabs Aramaic is just an Arab dialect..Yahia means the verb "live"
The way he says welcome to the show in the beginning of all his clips reminds me of a rap/rock song, but I can't remember the name of the song. Anyone?
What a gorgeous man
The Matrix. Omg 👑🧚🏾♀️ Can’t wait 🔥

Hello to comment readers
Hello commenter! Have a happy Chrysler

@@littlejoe9381 Hey
Hi
I watched the whole thing and I dont know what they said..lol so much handsomeness
I was blushing before anybody mentioned being naked or handsome 🙄😋
Also he kind of looks like Frank Ocean
bella bella Frank Ocean’s older straight ripped brother 😍💪🏾
@@Social_Pugatory that doesn't use auto tune.
I'm glad his name was pronounced pretty much right 👍
Matrix 4 , wow ! Congratulations 🥳
For everyone hyping up his Islamic name, he’s a devout Christian and has talked about it in interviews. His name comes from his Muslim dad who died when he was young
throwing my drawz at the screen! #fine
Merry Christmas to all! I still need to see Us and maybe Watchmen but there's another Matrix in the works? I saw the first one pretty recently and I definitely want to see the second one and third one.
Yo Trevor,
don't know why I'm asking but can I join your show?
Have a merry Christmas.
I'm wasted.

His name is a special Muslim name
Hopefully he's not Muslim...
@@angaur410 What is wrong by being Muslim?
Actually it’s an Islamic name more than it is Arabic 😉

Yes Yahya In Matrix 4 Best Casting love Martial Arts heavy.
Yahya and Trevor on screen together is too much chocolatey goodness for me to handle!
Hook me up, Trevor 🙏😂😂 I still love you, though😜
What a good looking man
How did Trevor not ask about all that blue body paint *and* what it was like to apply/remove it?! And of course, what it was like to have a blue, um, ya know....
