Charlie Puth shared some encouraging words for TikToker Axel Webber after Axel shared his rejection letter he received from Juilliard.

 

According to Axel, his rejection letter read, “As you are already aware, due to our callback process, you are no longer under consideration for admission for Fall 2022.”  In his clip, Axel then told his 1.4 million followers that “he’d have to find a different way to be an actor.”

Charlie then left a handful of comments on Axel’s video, writing, “Hey friend…I also didn’t get into Juilliard … but things ended up being just fine for me. I cried too.”

 

Charlie later created his own video where he shared even more encouraging words, “Not only did I not get into Juilliard, but I didn’t get into five of these ‘prestigious’ schools that I wanted to get into that I thought would better my career.  While I do think school is great, and I did end up going to Berklee [College of Music], a prestigious conservatory for the arts is not going to be the thing that defines your career as an actor.  It certainly wasn’t the only and most important thing that made my career happen.”

 

Charlie continued, “We experience rejection every day of our lives, and as hard as it is to swallow in the moment, it’s the thing that pushes you further creatively. It pushes my music, and it’s going to push your acting as well.  You, Axel, do not need to worry at all.  I like your videos a lot, there’s something very special about you. And I like your tiny apartment. You’re gonna be OK bro, I promise.”
