If you love keeping up with the newest films, then I'm sure you're more than aware of the success of the new action-comedy Baby Driver. While the film itself was magnificent, I couldn't help but realize how amazing Ansel Elgort's lead made the film one I would recommend 11/10. I left the theater in complete awe, and it has only grown worse.
Do not be like me. Avoid Ansel's love spell at all costs.
However, if you're feeling a little weak in the knees when you hear his name... here's the seven stages of falling in love with Ansel that you need to look out for:
1. You re-watch "The Fault in Our Stars" for no reason.
Let's face it: this movie did not live up to my expectation and truthfully, Ansel as Gus Walters did not either. (I'm on the "book was better" bandwagon). There is something about Ansel in this role that sparks a little flame in your heart though, admit it.
2. You wish you were in "Divergent."
Ansel playing a minor role in a popular book-to-film trilogy? Sign me up! No role is too small for you, baby.
3. "Baby Driver" begins to consume every moment of your life.
Ansel Elgort stole my whole heart after watching this movie. It's so difficult to not envy Lily James after watching him fall head over (w)heels or her.
4. You accidentally stumble across the clip of him singing "Easy."
Have you ever heard an angel sing? Well, you have now so you're welcome. Also, can someone please explain how he is hitting those notes so effortlessly? Excuse me while I watch this 80 thousand more times.
5. You search for more clips of Ansel singing and discover he is a musician!
At this point, I'm convinced that there isn't anything he can't do. Is he a real human being or a figment of my imagination? Let me know. Shout out to him for making a real banger though.
6. You realize... He. Can. Dance.
Remember when I was wondering if there was anything he couldn't do? Yeah, he's a jack of all trades. There is only one thing cuter than a basket of puppies and it is Ansel Elgort doing the nae-nae.
7. You follow him on all social media platforms and secretly admire him from afar as you cry yourself to sleep.
Ansel is thriving. He has an empowering woman whom he travels the world with and is never seen without a smile. It is unfortunate I cannot be the one experiencing life's best wonders with him, however that does not stop me from spamming his Instagram with likes every now and then.
