I love that he is poking fun at himself for being mysterious and not doing video interviews. Saw the title and was surprised he would talk for nine minutes but I should have known he’ll always figure out how to do something different.
yup
he’s the goat. I have front row tickets to the after hours tour and I’ve already seen him perform live 4 times
@Yeehaw WHO WOULDNT BE 💔 i’m seeing abel live only for the first time in 2022 :(
Right😂😂 we got like 5 words out of him i was surprised
He was also simultaneously doing ASMR through the whole video lol
when he said: " " I felt that

He said SURE tho

i will never understand how abel reading a GQ magazine in silence for 9 minutes gets me hyped for the album
Same!
So it is an album?
Lmaao us xo fans really different
When is he dropping an album again?
wait. what album?
Plot twist: Abel wasn’t even reading the magazine. He was just examining all the good pictures.
Reading the pictures🤣
@Donut Donut 😝😌😁🤣😂😳💣🙈
He's in there can't wait to buy it..
HHHA HOT COMPLIATIONS😂
@@dancingwithyl LMFAO
If you actually thought he was going to speak then you’re blinded by the lights. He’s never going to express his voice without his vocals and always finds a way to create what nobody’s done.
Him and Justin Bieber sounds the same
The Idol: Allow me to introduce myself.
He did do that 40 minite interview with zane for apple
Lmao I thought he was gonna read the magazine vocally for us
me too 😂✌️
That would've been the next banger
lol
🤣🤣🤣
I thought I was the only one 😂
Abel is the only person who can keep me entertained for 9+ mins without even murmuring
Yess
You now
True
Weeknd uyir
Idk if you realy meant that but you make a good point.
I wanna here him talk, he has a heavenly voice.
You Haven't heard him talk?
mixer abviously she has if she thinks he has a heavenly voice. U didn't read the comment? Lol
@@moonstruck562 oops
Him and Justin Bieber sounds alike with that angelic voice
OK, why is nobody talking about how he is COMPLETELY ROCKING THE HEELS!😩✋
I was searching for THAT EXACT COMMENT, I MEAN -
, because "the heels have eyes..." get it? 😂
@@nestawylde this....this was great
the reason why abel still didnt drop THE DAWN is because he is still busy reading the GQ
Yesss yess😂😂
W comment😭💪🏽👍
LOL
wbk 😫
You right right 😆😆
No one : Literally no one : Every XO fan: "I'm so proud "
😏
he’s the goat. I have front row tickets to the after hours tour and I’ve already seen him perform live 4 times
WERE SO DRAMATIC LMAO
Exactly 😂😊
Me when i read about his sobriety journey😩
i love how he's feeling himself during the whole thing. also this lowkey sounds like an asmr
I wonder if Abel will ever do a “10 Essentials” video with GQ soon… except he does it *silently*
1 hour in online classes: 😴 9 minutes of Abel only reading a magazine: 🤩
Weeknd: 📖🗿

So true
barely said a single word yet i was still smiling and entertained throughout the whole video

Right. Lmao 🤣🤣

hi twin of icon
Poor Abel he’s a simple guy who just want to read his magazine, and everybody is moving around 😞😔
Keanu reeves being on the cover just took this video to a next level.
Director: So you will stand in a middle of this hall and you will read our magazine. Weeknd: Sure.
lol the director was the long haired guy who came up to take a selfie!
lol, i love this comment
LMAO
LMAO
Weeknd: 📖🗿
This guy made more money reading a magazine for 9 minutes than I make for an entire year. 😅
Yup! And that's sad actually...
@F Stop being jealous he actually deserves that money unlike some stupid tiktokers. And btw he was homeless for many years and he worked his way up
Made a whole year in a weak to yea
“Used to have no money for a crib, now my room service bill cost your whole life”
@@user-pf7bx6lh5p it's not sad.
Yes we’re all here watching a grown man read a book 😂😂
I could just stare at him for decades even if he was just breathing
That sounds a little creepy don't u think
him trying to read something and everyone ignoring it, is THE Perfect Description of when i do wnything around my family
same
Facts
Deadass
yea..
PLSSS THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO
He really needs to get into acting,he would be such a good actor
He got his own tv show next year
Noo it would not make him unique no more
@@dreamdoll8700 what?
@@dreamdoll8700 nah keanu reeves hes still mysterious despite acting u got it all wrong
@@westimes8677 he is a acteur The Weeknd is a musician 2 different world
its always fascinated to watch Abel. He's so kind & a gentlemen
“Did you drop this quarter?” Killed me
Lady: “Umm we going to need that chair” Abel: 😒
Moments he spoke 3:57 "Sure" 5:46 "Sure" 5:47 "Yeah you too man" 7:49 "Sure" 7:56 That smile 🥺
He also said “yeah you too man”
9:38 tho 😩💕
Cuteeeeeeeeeee
Cuteeeeeeeeeeee
Check the legs
This man deserves a film of his own .
He has his own series called "The Idol."
Predicted the future
Idky but I get the feeling that "until the lights go out" would be a track on abel's new album
Some says its gonna be in album
The fact that this clip might be part of the next album's rollout, is just mindfucking
YES
It is obviously
The end with the sirens and ominous darkness
Wat a weird word
@@freddysamjacob363 it wasnt Ahhahaha
the fact that bae kept us entertained without speaking thats how powerful he is ugh love him #XOTWOD
Amen 💛
I know he is so ❤️😍🤰🏼
How were you entertained pls 😭😭
I was enlightened when reading with him
@@lildawg1685 how could you not be its abel
3:11 that sniff 😂😂
he barely said a single word throughout the entire video and I sat here and smiled through it all! Plus the way his feet were while he was sitting when the camera zoomed out made was pure gold and made me laugh.😂😂
Glad that GQ turned off the lights he was really being blinded by the lights for more than 8 mins
Take this W for that joke
W
Lov it 😂😂
it was only a matter of time before this comment appears
W
The Weeknd: 😎📖 Everyone: “So interesting”
Weeknd: 📖🗿
Why am I seeing this just now?!! Lol he’s so cute scrunching his nose like that 😂❤️
😭Wats his heght?
I can watch this whole day without getting bored. 😍😭
I love how honest he was in the article. He found it therapeutic that we listened and sung to his music. He has worked non- stop for this new era of his music. This is what he wanted to release for a long time. “After hours” was a successful album to him and that has got him so excited to make this new project.
What article?
@@zintlemtikitiki6491 GQ’s “The Weeknd Vs. Able Tesfaye”
He deserves Grammys.
That’s literally me trying to study for my exams but my family keeps distracting me lol
Olalala,😂
Les gooo 😂😂😂
Underrated
lmaoo i can relate
Nah this the visualisation of me trying to study but constantly distracting myself with stupid things
Idk how but I was so entertained watching the entire video and he didn’t even say anything other than “sure”
HAHAH the part of him smelling the magazine perfume samples 😭😭😭 I love him so much 😂😂 XOTWOD
Oh so it's an interview with Abel but he doesn't speak, perfect.
Look at Abel man, so inspirational.
True
yea
Me and Chris when
Weeknd: 📖🗿
He’s sooo cute!!! Look at his feet meeting each other while sitting.
And I think you are even cuter.
Idk why but I felt like a proud child when in his interview he said his fans already call him Abel so he is Abel....it just felt warm and fuzzy lmaoo bc I literally never refer to him as the weeknd, I always say Abel
“did you drop this quarter?” abel: 😐📖
LMAO "Did you drop this quarter?" I get it but the look Abel gave him was "Do I look like I need to carry quarters!?!"💀
😅😆
LMFAOOOOOOO
LMAOO
Time stamp
😂😂
This man is perfect
I was just staring at Abel for this nearly 10 minutes and admiring him. Mainly I just listen his voice for like 24/7 so it was refreshing to look at him. XOTWOD ❤️
XOTWOD ❤️❤️
*He won’t stop reading* until next Weekend.
Lol.
lmao
I’m crying 😭😂
Didn't realize the Weekend was such a great actor. This was absolutely entertaining.
I've been a fan for years and this is the first time I get to watch his interview, how incredible 🔥🔥
He’s so precious only Abel could sit in front of a camera and barely say any words and Xo would literally be so happy
Here's proof that I can contently watch Abel doing literally nothing but reading a magazine, for almost 10 minutes straight 😌🖤. What kind of magic is this!👀✨
Xo
Ich möchte jetzt wissen was er jetzt denkt bei dieser Sache
6:05 I'm getting slightly autumn mid western cowboy vibes. But just without the hat. It's retro. It's Vogue. Wardrobe for the Cult Tv Show??
Abel literally spent the minutes leafing through a magazine and I've watched it 3 times 😍 LOL I LOVE HIM
If I was on that set I would be smiling like I lost my mind 😭😭. Seeing him perform live would be a dream come true 😭😭
Yuh u definitely should u leave with an euphoric feeling for a few days.
Him saying "sure"was satisfying enough for me

@@Demo1T 3:58
Bruh same
This is me being an intovert in every social gathering. Just minding my own business
This video shouldn’t bring me as much comfort as it does and why must he be so handsome 😩😭
When you just spent 9 minutes watching a guy look like he's in the waiting room waiting for his doctor's appointment.
*This the most clapped way of promoting an album* and I’m here for it..

This is special, not only for us fan but also for GQ 🔥🔥🔥
