Julianne Mooremight be her own worst critic!
While appearing virtually onWatch What Happens LiveThursday, the Oscar-winning actress, 60, voiced her enthusiasm for the upcomingmusical-movie adaptationofDear Evan Hansen, in which she stars. Moore said she was a fan of the Broadway musical, which also starred movie leadBen Plattas Evan Hansen, but noted that she hasn’t seen the film yet.
“I have no doubt that Ben is brilliant in it. I think it’s an extraordinary cast,” she said. “I really just felt lucky to be there.”
“I’m excited to see it, and terrified also,” Moore confessed, adding with a laugh, “I hope I don’t stink.”
“Well, stinking in a movie would be a new thing for you too,” Cohen, 53, teased.

Speaking to PEOPLE in March 2020, Platt said he “would love to go back” and take his role to the silver screen, voicing his hopes that a then-hypothetical adaptation would be a “new thing.”
“A lot of times when you’re taking something from stage to screen there can be almost too much faithfulness to the stage piece out of respect for fans or for people that love the material,” he said at the time.
“What’s important for people to understand is the film is such a different piece. I think not being afraid to reinvent it for the screen would be the thing that would make or break it.”
Dear Evan Hansenpremieres in theaters on Sept. 24.
