No I haven’t seen “The Acolyte,” however I’ve *undoubtedly* seen Manny Jacinto
Manny Jacinto is actually in all places proper now. After starring within the new Disney+ sequence “The Acolyte,” everybody and their mom is obsessive about the Canadian-Filipino actor’s face (and physique) card. Within the elements of the present I’ve come throughout on the clock app (as a result of I haven’t had the time to sit down down and watch it), Jacinto seems unimaginable.
However that’s hardly breaking information.
What is breaking information, nonetheless, is that Jacinto’s speedy rise in recognition might sign the tip of “Rat Boy Summer season” and crown him the web’s new boyfriend.

The Manila-born actor has been on TV since 2013, the place he’s landed a number of small roles and visitor appearances on in style reveals like “Supernatural,” “As soon as Upon a Time,” and “Bates Motel.” It wasn’t till his breakout position as lovable doofus Jason Mendoza on the hit sequence “The Good Place” that folks began to actually listen.

After the present resulted in 2020, he joined the solid of “9 Excellent Strangers,” starring alongside large names like Nicole Kidman, Michael Shannon, Luke Evans, and Bobby Carnavale to call a couple of.
Previous to his position in “The Acolyte,” Jacinto scored a job on the extremely anticipated “Prime Gun” sequel, “Prime Gun: Maverick” the place principally all his traces had been reduce and he was decreased to a heat physique on display screen—which resulted in some controversy and web drama.
What we did get out of the film was a couple of seconds of the actor shirtless on the seaside in the course of the now-iconic volleyball scene. And I’m solely mad as a result of it was just some seconds.

With the press tour for “The Acolyte” in full swing, Jacinto’s been extra web accessible by means of press junkets and interviews with co-stars. TikTok edits of the actor have been cropping up left and proper, which makes me really feel like I’ve already seen the newest addition to the “Star Wars” franchise.
However are the thirst edits and interviews sufficient to name him the web’s new boyfriend?
He’s been charmingly soft-spoken on the press circuit, well mannered to interviewers, and shy sufficient to make individuals (me, particularly) go somewhat loopy over him. And whereas he’s engaged to fellow actor Dianne Doan of “Warrior” fame, that doesn’t imply we (ehem, I) can’t love him from afar.
There’s been a lot of love for Jacinto since his stint on “The Good Place,” and I’m anticipating him to be topped the web’s highest parasocial award anytime quickly. I’m simply hoping the fan edits and interviews preserve coming.
And Manny Jacinto, in case you’re studying this, I really like you, you’re doing wonderful sweetie, and please inform your fiancée I really like her too.
