I can't believe I'm even admitting this, but Netflix's The Umbrella Academy [1] has me crushing on a ghost. Yes, I'm talking about the Ben Hargreeves, aka the scrumptious specter, the sweet soul, the charming apparition — you get it. Although he technically died during a mission when the Umbrella Academy [2] bunch were teenagers, he's been hanging around by way of Klaus's superpowers and is forced to put up with his brother's shenanigans. Still, the two share a special bond and any time they're on screen together, my heart skips a beat (because, let's face it, Klaus is also insanely attractive [3]). But there's just something about Ben that brings me so much joy. Anyway, before I fall too deep into a Ben-centric trance, look ahead to see his cutest snaps from the show!
We Love a Broody King
I guess when you're a ghost, there's not a whole lot to smile about. Still, he looks güd.
Another Broody Ben Moment, This Time From a Different Angle
So pensive, so attractive.
Finally — a Slight Smile!
If you squint really hard, you can see me peeking at him from behind the window.
Fun Fact: This Is Actually a Picture of Ben Preparing to Meet Me For a Date
He's a little annoyed that I'm running late. Sorry, Ben!
Aw, Look at His Concerned Face
There's a light shining behind him because he's an actual angel — no other reason.
Honestly, I Might Hang This Photo on My Fridge
I'm convinced that car is smoking because Ben overheated it.
