Daveed Diggs Is Your New Celebrity Crush

Suddenly, you've got the hots for Thomas Jefferson.

Daveed Diggs Is Your New Celebrity Crush
New York Times

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.

They reenacted the comics, frame by frame, word for word. And he wore (and rocked) that incredible tiger coat. Bold move, Diggs

6. His hair.

Need I say more?


7. He provided a rap song for the new (and best) movie Zootopia.

The song that plays from Finnick's truck as he drives away is sung by your favorite sassy Frenchman/Founding Father combo (click here for a refresher as to why you should see that movie)

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.

The audience seems to love him, and you can see why. He's exuberant, funny, lively, unique, and committed. You just can't help but love him and his dance moves!


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.

Daveed Daniele Diggs... honestly, how great is that?

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
