Brandon Flynn will be returning as Justin for the second season of 13 Reasons Why.
But first, did you know that Brandon actually auditioned for Clay Jensen the first time around? The second time was for Bryce. But he didn’t connect with either of them.
Brandon opened up to NKD mag’s July issue, revealing that he connects more with Justin than with any other character.
“It was like, the hardest audition ever because it was like three lines and I was like, ‘I don’t even know who this person is’,” Brandon shared.
Justin‘s character breakdown has him as the “kid who’s not from the right part of town, but is popular at school despite his interesting home life.”
“For some reason that really attracted me, because I remember being in high school and you wear all these masks,” Brandon says, “Justin wears masks constantly.”
“It’s almost like a survival technique, because you see what happens to him at home and you see… being a product of how you’re brought up and how that can make you interact with other human beings.”
Brandon Flynn and Tommy Dorfman get in close for a picture with Caroline Daur inside the Balmain show during Paris Fashion Week on Saturday (June 24).
After the show, the two 13 Reasons Why actors got to meet a ton of their fans in the City of Light.
“Tbh @tommydorfman and Brandon were absolutely nice with us,” one fan wrote on Twitter about meeting the two. “They took their time and can’t thank them enough for this.”
So sweet! Check out even more fan meetings below!

For just about every 13 Reasons Why actor, they relate to their characters in one way or another, and it’s the same for Brandon Flynn.
Brandon admits that he and Justin Foley have similarities, but they also have their differences too.
“I think that is my favorite part of being an actor, you get to see yourself in so many types of people,” Brandon told V magazine. “Justin is an actor too, he wears a mask at school that is very different from the one he has to wear at home.”
“That was a really powerful connection between us, I think a lot of people would connect to that.”
However, there’s one thing that Brandon just really doesn’t like about Justin, something that Brandon will never forgive his character for.
“Something that was really tricky to play in the scene, [is that] I would never let Jessica be raped. I began to understand Justin’s motives, but I will always hold that against him.”
13 Reasons Why, which has been renewed for a second season, is streaming on Netflix now.
We’re officially obsessing over Tommy Dorfman and Brandon Flynn now.
The 13 Reasons Why stars hit up the Lukas Graham‘s Pepsi Sound Drop concert last night at Kola House in New York City, and Tommy was snapped giving Brandon a super cute kiss.
Loving so much!

In a new interview with V Magazine, Tommy opened up about the importance of their Netflix show: “It’s important for teenagers, young adults, parents, teachers, really everyone to see what the true High School experience is.”
He continued, “It’s important to start the dialogue and de-stigmatize suicide, rape, bullying, and addiction to hopefully save lives, help those who are suffering, and better understand each other.”
We definitely agree!
If you haven’t, you can stream 13 Reasons Why on Netflix now.
Alisha Boe, Tommy Dorfman, and Brandon Flynn hold nothing back in this new feature for V Magazine.
The 13 Reasons Why stars all gushed over working with producer Selena Gomez. Check it:
Alisha: I admire Selena for being transparent about her mental health issues and how she uses her platform to start a conversation and lift the stigma on mental health. She’s genuinely passionate about 13 Reasons Why and she believes in the message behind the show. It’s been a pleasure working with her.
Brandon: Selena Gomez is a beautiful person. She shares so much of herself and I think it helps a lot of people out there dealing with the same things. She is very busy, so my interactions with her during filming were limited, but her generosity and passion are very alive in the project, and that was really important to a lot of us!
Tommy: Selena was, and is, a huge inspiration for me. She challenges me to be more truthful both on set and off. Her courage encouraged me to be open publicly about my own issues with mental health and addiction, knowing that being open about that might help someone else.
