My celebrity idols are something that I do not talk about very often. But, anyone who is close to me knows that Jonathan Groff holds the key to my heart. In this article, I talk about 10 times that he really melted my heart. I hope that after reading this, that you may have a new found love for him.
1. Literally every single time he smiles:
It is no secret that his pearly whites are absolutely "melt"-worthy. Just the perfect amount of crookedness makes for Jonathan Groff's gorgeous grin.
2. When he did the #Ham4Ham with Lea Michele, sleepy style:
For those of you who aren't aware of "Hamilton," (first of all, what are you doing with your life?) there is a pre-show lottery with a performance, of sorts. It is called #Ham4Ham. During the warm months, they did it outside, but right now, they are doing it virtually. On March 30, Jonathan did a pillow talk with Lea Michele, and wow, did I love my life.
3. His entire friendship with Lin Manuel-Miranda:
Lin Manuel-Miranda, better known as the creator and star of the Broadway shows "Hamilton" and "In The Heights," is one of Jon's co-stars and friends. They are often "shipped" together, for obvious reasons, and Tumblr is full of .gifs of them that'll surely make your heart race. These two being friends is one of the best things to happen to the internet, truly.
4. When he sings:
Jonathan is a Broadway star and actor. Put simply, he is talented. The best part is that his talent is undoubtedly genuine. If you click this link, you can see one of many examples that showcases his beautiful voice. (Pretty sure he also plays multiple instruments, so that's rad.)
5. His switch from bad guy to good guy on "Glee:"
Jonathan's character on "Glee," Jesse St. James, is the crush-worthy jerk that has a romantic relationship with Rachel Berry (Lea Michele's character). He is a total arrogant, selfish jerk until he comes back after his original debut, and well... I won't ruin it for you.
6. The way he embraces his nickname
Jonathan's infamous nickname, "Groffsauce," has become a common word in the Groff world. He embraces it, and even refers to himself as it sometimes. He doesn't have Twitter, so fans often use the hashtag #Groffsauce in their tweets to "Hamilton" cast mates, with the slight hope that he will see them.
7. The Schuyler Sisters dance:
In one of the most famous #Ham4Hams, Jonathan performed The Schuyler Sisters' dance, and he played my personal favorite, Angelica Schuyler. It was cute, and it's definitely worth watching on YouTube.
8. He even melted hearts as an ANIMATED CHARACTER.
Jonathan voiced the character of Kristoff in "Frozen." Throughout the entire movie, he has us all wondering if it is actually possible to fall in love with a cartoon.
9. His multiple friendly kisses with Lin:
This definitely did more than just melt hearts. On top of the adorable friendship they have, they have also drove the fans wild by sharing some smooches and posting them on the internet. This took well to many fandoms. It all started with the surprise kiss from Lin on Jonathan's birthday. The rest is history.
10. Just being himself:
This is probably the most cliche point on this list. But from what Jonathan shows, he's caring, sweet, nice, compassionate, and funny, just to name a couple attributes. This is by far the thing that melts hearts around the world, because in reality, who wouldn't want to be friends with Jonathan Groff?
Needless to say, he is pretty incredible in absolutely every way imaginable. Long live Jonathan Groff, you are one pretty stinking awesome human being. Rock on!
