I'm Definitely Crushing on Lamorne Morris After Watching Hulu's Woke, and I Know You Are, Too

Hulu

I don't know what it is about a down-on-his-luck man who wears glasses and carries a crossbody shoulder bag, but I find that incredibly attractive. I realize how oddly specific that is, but there's a certain charm in a softboi who possesses the perfect blend of intelligence and insecurity. John Reynolds's characters on HBO Max's Search Party and Hulu's Four Weddings and a Funeral used to have the top spots on my list of tantalizingly awkward cuties, but Lamorne Morris on Hulu's comedy Woke might be my new favorite.

The series — which dropped on Sept. 9 — stars Morris as Keef Knight, a cartoonist who gets a major wake-up call after a frightening encounter with the police. He begins to see inanimate objects come to life as they encourage him to explore racial issues through his art. With a much more socially aware perspective, Keef embarks on a new personal and professional journey that puts him through the wringer. While I was genuinely interested in Keef's story, I couldn't help but also swoon over his gauche aura and subtle swagger. I refuse to believe that I'm the only person who feels this way, so I now present you with the best snaps of Keef in all his Woke glory.

I'll Just Leave This Here

One word: muscles.

OK, Pinstripe Pants!

This entire outfit is . . . *chef's kiss.*

He's Cute Even When He's Anxious

If he were getting a drink with me, he might look happier. I'm just saying.

Should Anyone Look This Good?

I mean, come on.

And He Accessorizes?!

The necklace, the bracelet, the ring — it's important to appreciate these details, people!

This Facial Expression Is All Too Relatable

This was me at every party I went to circa social distancing.

Again With the Spot-On Fashion Choices

I love a man in a shearling jacket. Let's just hope it's faux.

He Looks Like He's Just Seen a Ghost or . . . a Talking Object

He's also reminding me of a Bath & Body Works shopping bag, but is that really a bad thing?

Let's End on This Adorable Smile

I may or may not be grinning at my screen right now. (Full disclosure: I am.)
