This is how slow it has gotten in Luke news, I have to salute him in sweaters in the middle of the summertime 🤣

“…Having recently scrolled through Twitter to gauge the reaction to Kirby as Davis, I corroborate this sentiment, and tell him the Gucci cardigan he wears in the second episode only adds to the hot dad of it all. “It’s a nice cardigan,” he concurs…”-From The Cut

I’ve watched and read a lot of interviews over the years with him and gleamed different facts (I have a freakishly good memory when it comes to facts), and also because people (like myself) enjoy when he’s on screen, I thought that this list of facts about the guy might be of interest, even if you know most or all of them!

I feel like this post may be appreciated or people will think it’s weird etc. but I just thought I’d put these facts down somewhere, ones that keep flying around my head and here seemed as good a place as any. I don’t mean anything by it.
