It's clear that Twitter has been thirsting over Lovecraft Country [1]'s Jonathan Majors, and who can blame them? As Atticus Black, he's loyal to his family and is out to unravel the mystery [2] that has befallen them. In real-life, Jonathan has a smile that lights up a room and has foregone social media in favour of, what he calls, "the lifestyle of a 70-year-old [3]".
While it may be unfortunate that the 30-year-old actor doesn't have an Instagram you can easily peruse, you can still catch him in episodes of HBO's Lovecraft Country on Sundays [4]. Or, as I've done, you can bombard your friends with pictures of him in the hopes of getting them on the Jonathan bandwagon. He's an amazing actor and the more I see of him, the higher he ranks on my favourite actors list. There's just a magnetism about him and its evident in everything he's done, from When We Rise and White Boy Rick to The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Below are just a few photos of him in and out of character that have truly caused me to swoon.
He Knows We're Thirsting After Him
You can see it in his eyes.
Look at That Lil' Smirk
I would very much like him to smirk at me like that one day.
Nothing Says Dapper Like a Double-Breasted Suit
And he certainly wears it well.
Did I Stare at This Picture For Too Long? Yes.
It says, "I'm not upset. Just disappointed."
He Looks So Happy to Be There
Once again, there's that million-dollar smile. He's too freaking cute!
Oh to Be a Beanie Perched Atop His Head
Not everyone could make this look good, and yet he does.
He Looks Like the Art Student Your Parents Tell You Not to Fall in Love With
Yet you do anyways. I would gladly be his muse.
Imagine Having This Waiting For You on a Date
Atticus Black is absolutely the kind of man that would open doors for you and make sure you got home safely.
I Wonder What He's Thinking
It's always nice to know that a RBF can be this statuesqe.
One Day, I Hope to Be the Source of This Much Joy
You can see he's literally bursting with it . . . get it, since his shirt is popping open.
I Would Very Much Like to See This Outfit in Person
The beanie is back and so is his smile. I just can't help but gravitate towards these pictures.
He Even Makes Glasses Look Good
Atticus Black is also an intellectual, hence all the literary references on Lovecraft Country [6].
He's Probably Surprised to See That You've Gotten This Far
In an interview with the New York Times, Jonathan recalled how a teacher once told him "It's good that you can act because you're not a handsome fellow [7]." That teacher, of course, was very, very wrong.
His Look of Concern Has Me Searching For a Fan
This is a look that should not be attractive and yet, I couldn't stop staring.
All I Can Say Is "Hands"
That's it, that's the caption.
If The Previous Picture Was "Hands," This One Is "Arms"
Can he wrap me up in them, please?
