For 65 years a question has puzzled the world’s brightest minds. Who wears short shorts?
The answer has finally been revealed, and it’s Donald Glover, the genius behind Childish Gambino and FX’s Atlanta. OK, so maybe he’s not the only one, but he definitely pulls off the look.
Glover was spotted in New York City recently in yellow shorts (short ones) with matching shoes and bucket hat, and the summer getup caused an online heat wave to accompany the one in real life.

Glover is revising his NYC roots — he attended NYU and got his start as a writer on Tina Fey’s 30 Rock — to film the new Prime Video series Mr. & Mrs. Smith. He’ll star opposite PEN15’s Maya Erskine, and we’re loving this power couple already.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
But more on those shorts…
Here’s how Twitter responded to the short-shots:

Um…. wow! He filled out nicely…

He’s been hot for a long time. He was a little dad bod in the This is America video (but I think that actually helped the message and was likely intentional).
He’s super hot and fit as a young Troy Barnes in Community. I’m not sure why Joel MacHale got the reputation for being the hot guy on Community when Donald Glover also had shirtless scenes.

perfect summer bod and outfit!

Yes Please, More of this. I have loved this man for a long time now.

His “Atlanta” was one-of-a-kind and often brilliant.
