Taz Skylar on the negative comments he received on social media when he was cast in One Piece 

“And now nobody can say shit!” What a LEGEND! Taz is the perfect Sanji in every single way and we couldn’t be more blessed to have him as our Mr. Prince! 👑🏴‍☠️

Honestly? Just the fact he was chosen by Oda himself gives him massive bragging rights

He deserves the world! I remember when the casting was first announced and he was getting shit on the most out of all the straw hat actors, which was really unfair considering the complete lack of information anyone had. He's proven everyone wrong, amazing job!

He laughed like Sanji when he heard the women cheering 😂

His portrayal was probably my second favorite of the Strawhats after Emily Rudd's Nami. Love Taz what a cool and talented guy

Imagine this guy on the whole cake island arc

He's a goat for that ngl.

His story honestly sounds not so different from Sanji‘s backstory. Among his siblings he was the only one that sucked at fighting. But he went on to become stronger than any of them - all while keeping his compassion.

I never understood why people get so jumpy immediately when casting is revealed. When he was cast as Sanji I just needed to be shown what he could do. Looking like the character is a lot easier in costume and makeup but becoming the character is something you can only see on screen. Always withhold judgment

Taz is such an amazing human being and a huge inspiration. Just listening to him is pure joy. They couldn't pick a better person to play Sanji. He proved himself a thousand times over and he has all my love 💜

He proved us wrong

I was there at the time and saw all the terrible comments people wrote to him. It was scary. He literally hasn't done anything yet, but people have been saying nasty things over and over while the other 4 main cast members have been getting support. In the very first 24 hours after the announcement of the Straw Hats, part of the fandom, including me, began to look for the acting work of these guys. There were some jokes and quibbles about the appearance of all the guys (some people even found fault with Kiki’s curls, I can't..!.), but they were relatively harmless and quickly disappeared. But the negativity on Taz's social media continued. Outwardly, Taz is larger than Sanji and has short hair, but is this important in an actor in the first place? (Moreover, damn it, he was off stage.) The main thing is the acting. Appearance is important, but without acting, it means nothing. With acting, appearance fades into the background. Finding something with Taz turned out to be the most difficult (Jacob also has few roles, but they were on the surface), but we managed to do it. Perhaps someone remembers the video where Taz stands and smokes at the stove (already, as it were, well, you understand...). It was a small piece from a short film starring Taz. This work closed the question for me about the quality of his acting skills once and for all. “He will do the best job,” that’s what was in my head then. Confident that his acting will be one of the best, if not the best, that we, One Piece fans, will see. "He will definitely cope with the role of Sanji". After the series came out, my opinion has not changed. Taz Skyler's performance is one of the best acting works in OPLA. I wish him more big roles with all my heart because with his skills he could become one of the coolest actors of our time. At least it seems so to me. I don't know about others, but the hate towards him really bothered me. And I’m still worried that the fandom, which I was used to seeing as my personal island of peace and happiness, behaved this way. There are no bad comments right now. Taz received so much love, tenderness and support that the time before the premiere seems like a nightmare. It couldn't help but hurt. I wish he never had to experience those months. Taz is an incredible person and an amazing actor. I wish him nothing but the best. Maybe late, but our love reached him and, I hope, will remain with him forever ❤‍🩹❤‍🩹❤‍🩹❤‍🩹

I've always rooted for him since the first time he got hated. His point is so valid. He is my favorite cast of the one piece live action, love all of his hard work and dedication for the role. love him so much !!!

And he proves everyone wrong, he is one of my favorite live action strawhats

such great attitude

I thought he is a perfect cast the moment I saw him. I’ve watched all of One Piece, he definitely nailed live action Sanji, hope they all improve their acting in the second season though.

Speaking of Eminem, how hype would it be if they get him to play Eneru. I mean he literally is based off of him.

Taz did a fantastic variation of Sanji. It’s the most far off from the source material, but I love his version too

In season 2, I predict the final fight would be Luffy vs Crocodile, Zoro vs Mr. 1 ("My favorite is number 1" based on Zoro's comment about Mr. 7 in season 1), Sanji vs Bon Clay, Nami vs Miss Doublefinger, and Usopp and Chopper vs Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas. In season 2, they will surely have epic one-on-one battles. The one chasing the Straw Hats in season 1 is Garp, but now in season 2, it's Smoker (probably Dragon will appear and save Luffy). In the final scene of season 1, they made a barrel oath; probably in season 2, they will end the season with a farewell 'X' mark to Vivi.

He is my favorite from the start, I don't get people, damn

Netflix choosed the right cast.

I could see Taz playing as Eneru or Doffy as well

Well I wasn't hating so I'm free of guilt tbh they all looked accurate to me especially sanji and usopp what i was worried about was the writing direction and effects and yeah the acting They surpassed me expectations in the acting and effects Some writing changes i hated and some i loved The direction was good but some parts were weird

❤♥️😍

As a character I love Zoro more but I love his Sanji then Mackenyu's Zoro.. I guess he's my favorite One Piece live action portrayal

❤

Bro should've been Enel 😂

I've often referred him as Skylar Grey🙃

Sanjiii

His Arab genes didn't even try 🤣

I am not talking about acting but characterwise nami and luffy were very different from the source material loved zoro
