Donald Glover

Remember when all Donald Glover did was campaign to be Miles Morales in a Spider-Man movie? No? Well, maybe this will help you. The reason he is even Spider-Man: Homecoming was because of it. Or at least that’s what we all want to believe.

If it isn’t his love of Spider-Man, Glover’s nerdiness is proven by his dedication to everything that is Lando Calrissian. Or maybe his comedy nerdom (he used to be an Upright Citizens Brigade student and trust me, we’re all nerds about comedy there).

Then again, Donald Glover sells himself as “black nerd” even going so far as to name an entire section his comedy special Black Nerd. While it is a character, his role as Troy on Community really helped confirm Donald’s status as our “nerdy internet boyfriend.”

Which obviously only got better as he’s continued to grow and evolve before our eyes. His nerdy streak might not be at the forefront of everyone’s infatuation with Donald Glover but it definitely doesn’t hurt him. He’s talented, sexy, and someone who would probably talk to you about different versions of Spider-Man for hours on end. So really, it is a win-win situation for everyone involved.
