8 Reasons Bruno Mars Just Couldn't Be More Lovable
With Bruno Mars turning 28 this week, it's the perfect time to celebrate all the reasons he's so great. His debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, dropped four years ago, and since then, he's won hearts with both his music and his personality. Bruno has a hilarious sense of humor — remember when he hosted Saturday Night Live back in 2012? — and with those moves and that face, he's a bona fide heartthrob, too. In honor of Bruno's birthday on Wednesday, take a look at eight reasons why he couldn't be more lovable! Source: Getty / Kevin C. Cox
He's the Ultimate Prank Master
Bruno Mars hilariously pranked a nurse earlier this year, teaming up with Ellen DeGeneres to pull off an incredibly awkward moment. Somehow, he managed to keep a straight face as Ellen fed him ridiculous lines through an earpiece.
He Doesn't Take Himself Too Seriously
Exhibit A: The music video for "The Lazy Song."
He's Incredibly Thoughtful With His Fans
Along with being funny, Bruno's also really, really sweet. Over the Summer, Bruno serenaded Zumyah Thorpe, a superfan who listened to his songs every day while she was in the hospital recovering from a car accident. Back in 2013, Zumyah lost her pregnant mom and two younger sisters when they were hit by a drunk driver, and after learning about her story, Bruno met with her at his concert in Cleveland.
He's 100 Percent Crush Worthy
So cute, and just look at this sweet forehead kiss!
He Called Brad Pitt a "Sexy Motherf*cker"
In May, Brad Pitt joined Bruno Mars on stage during his annual Make It Right gala in New Orleans, and when Brad grabbed a tambourine to play, Bruno shouted, "Benjamin Button! Brad Pitt, you sexy motherf*cker!"
He Absolutely Dominated the Super Bowl Halftime Show
Who could forget his crazy-awesome Super Bowl halftime show performance in 2014? He sang! He danced! He played the drums!
He's Got the Moves (and He Always Has)
First and foremost, of course, Bruno is an awesome performer — and apparently that's always been the case. An old Bruno Mars interview surfaced in early 2014, showing a 4-year-old Bruno shaking his hips and expertly impersonating Elvis Presley. So good!
He Has Amazing Hair
He just does, you know?
