- PROUD MOTHER FEELINGS OMG CRYING
18. Slo-mo hallway walking:
- UGH I SHIP THIS SO MUCH ALREADY I’M SO GLAD IT’S DARREN IN THIS PART
19. “It’s a subject that’s very near and dear to my heart, simply because I grew up in such an open community—doing theater in San Francisco. I mean, it doesn’t get much, stereotypically, “gayer.” I was inadvertently raised in the “gay community.” I had straight parents, but I spent massive amounts of time at a very early age with gay, theater-hopeful thirty-somethings. And those were the people I spent time with early on, so my whole perception of “sexuality” just wasn’t there. It just…was. It even got to the point where, later in life… I had all the components in place. I was, well, not super effeminate, but I was into girly things—I liked musical theater, all the stereotypical things. I had to come out and say, well, I’m sorry, but I think I’m straight. And people were like, say it ain’t so! And I would say, “It’s been a secret too long, but I’m actually a straight male.” Vanity Fair interview
- SERIOUSLY. THERE. IS. NO. WAY. YOU. ARE. THIS. PERFECT. JUST. STOP.
20. Darren attends the DH premiere, “I’m just a fanboy”:
- WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING HERE IS THAT DARREN AND RUPERT IN THE SAME FRAME UNIVERSES ARE COLLAPSING
21. Baby it’s cold outside:
22. “I play mostly guitar, and I played drums for my brother’s band growing up. I grew up playing the violin which is basically how I expanded to other musical endeavors involving some of my violin training. I play a mean kazoo and harmonica if i have some alcohol in me. Of course I condone drinking and playing the harmonica at the same time cause it won’t sound good at all.”Just Jared Interview
- OH RIGHT SO YOU CAN ALSO PLAY THE DRUMS AND THE HARMONICA AND WHAT THE FUCK IS A KAZOO
- HE IS ANSWERING EVERYTHING IN SONG. YOUR ARGUMENT HAS NEVER BEEN MORE INVALID.
