The rapper, hip-hop artist, singer, and actor who played Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson in the musical" Hamilton" is about to become your new celebrity crush. Daveed Diggs is more than just an incredible rapper; when it comes down to it, he is the whole package of your dream man.
1. First off, his name is legitimately Daveed.
Not David, but Daveed. His name is just one example of his unique and unfaltering personality. He knows who he is, and he's not afraid to be it.
2. During Hamilton, he raps at a pace of 19 words per 3 seconds in the song "Guns and Ships."
He is doing this while singing in a French accent. And leaping off furniture. If you think that's impressive, he can go faster. He has rapped 46 words in 5 seconds on the Jimmy Fallon show! (watch it here!)
3. He loves brunch.
Anyone who loves brunch has my instant trust and respect.
4. He effortlessly rocks outlandish suits like it's the newest trend
(probably because it is about to be the newest trend, thanks to him)
You, my friend, are making waves in the fashion world.
5. He and a friend filmed youtube videos based off of the best children's comic of all time, Calvin and Hobbes.
6. His hair.
Need I say more?7. He provided a rap song for the new (and best) movie Zootopia.
8. He made "shots out the grammy" a thing.
He then proceeded to get the whole cast of Hamilton to do it also. And recorded it on his snapchat. I never thought I would experience some serious FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) over taking shots out of a trophy.
9. He is the best form of comic relief in Hamilton.
10. He loves his family.
In his Tony's speech, he shared a heartwarming story about how his dad dressed up in rainbow tights with him for a preschool talent show. It was a real tear-jerker.11. His name is an alliteration.
12. He has a dog named Soccer
That, in and of itself, is phenomenal.
I think now we can all collectively melt and sing, "boy, you got me helpless." Daveed, you have won our hearts.
