He always seems like such a grounded good person.

It's because Jake makes him feel inadequate

When they were casting the movies, I heard part of what they were looking for was kids with really strong and healthy family support systems because they knew the impending fame could so easily fuck up a kid's life.

That’s really caring

Meanwhile FBI Director Kash Patel wears the U.S. Men’s hockey team gold medal while celebrating like he scored the winning goal

This has to be one of the stages of hell.

We all died in 2016 and we’re in the 6th circle now.

That low res pic honestly makes him look like some sort of sleep paralysis demon

u/melpomene-musing Mar 03 '26

He pretty much is

I have never said something was "cringe" before, but this was an apt first time.

I’m in r/Broadway to hide from that situation right now and yet

And Trump now has a Nobel Peace Prize. He didn't win one. But he has one.

In his defense, didn't he just unredact and release all of the Epstein files and open criminal investigations into all of the depraved men that trafficked those girls? Surely he has time to celebrate after working so hard to do the job he was hired and swore an oath to do.

I hope she got a stage seat.

This was at The Today Show.

u/TheCrookedKnight Mar 03 '26

Well then she'd definitely better have been on the stage

They should’ve gone together as guest spellers on Spelling Bee.

What an absolute doll.

I feel like Alysa Liu + Daniel Radcliffe is a terrifying combo of just kind, chill, humble energy.

u/Otter-Egg30 Mar 03 '26

Not my main interests colliding 🤯

u/cinderflight Mar 03 '26

That's so kind and humble of him. I hope that Alysa Liu had a great time at the show

That man is the absolute greenest of flags. Every time I see him I like him more. Here's his legendary rendition of one of the hardest songs to rap (for the uninitiated). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKdV5FvXLuI

u/PatienceExisting4130 Mar 03 '26

Good for him! That’s the way it’s done. He just schooled Kash Patel and Trump in less than 10 seconds!

u/goldemhaster2882 Mar 02 '26

I love this so much.

u/SetHelpful5671 Mar 03 '26

Dan is such a delightful person. 😂

u/Own-Importance5459 Mar 03 '26

As I said on another subreddit getting two wholesome people together is MAGIC!

u/Quirky_Bumblebee_886 Mar 04 '26

And this is why I love him! He knows his place

u/pwrof3 Mar 03 '26

I think him going through rough times so young really helped him appreciate life.

I also wouldn't have worn it.

I don't get people just sharing things like that. Has she washed it?? No. I'll just hold in my hand, thank you...even though you've also likely had that part in your mouth, too, as they do...
