Jonathan Groff

[Doe Be Doe]

This is embarrassing. I'm 50 years old and I have developed a schoolgirl crush on Jonathan Groff.

 

I've known about him for years but within the past few weeks, I've gone from take him or leave him to full blown crush.

 

In my defense he sings wonderfully and his acting is superb.

 

So, anyone know him? From everything I've read he's a sweetheart.

 

Any thoughts on how to meet him without breaking any rules of polite conduct?

 

Finally, he does few concerts and I always hear about them afterwards. If anyone hears of an upcoming performance, do let me know.

 

Thanks.

I have had a crush on Jonathan Groff ever since I saw him in Spring Awakenings. I was sitting on the first row and when Jonathan sings he projects saliva unlike I have ever seen. When he had his sex scene on stage showing his cute ass I was in love!

That's funny. I just discovered HBO "Looking". So I watched all of season 1 and the 1st 3 episodes of season 2 in the last couple of weeks. (Ok days, not weeks)

I'm 47, and yes, I'm in love with Jonathan Groff. Or maybe it's Patrick on the show I'm in love with because I didn't know about Groff before seeing him here.

Anyway, I love everything about him.

 

And I'm not embarrassed!

Been a big fan of his since "Spring Awakening", have seen most of his work on stage in New York. Enjoying "Looking" on HBO as well. If you want to see him full frontal - check out the 2010 movie "Twelve Thirty", although that's probably the only reason to watch the movie.

I met Jonathan Groff when "Spring Awakening" was still off-Broadway nine years ago. There was a lawn in front of the theater, and the cast apparently hung out there on days there were two performances. He was very open to chat. I asked him about dropping his pants and showing his butt at every performance of the musical. Groff: "No problem after I did it the first time." His mother was there and some cousins. Since "Looking," several people have asked me how tall Groff is. Surprising question, not sure why people care. The answer is 5-10. Very nice guy.

*weeps* I liked "Looking" last season when most around here thought it meh. Now that the response is more positive, I no longer have HBO. I wasn't thinking about "Looking" when I chose what cable service to get.

 

Jonathan Groff is a cutie. But he's too young for me, and I'm the wrong gender for him.

[mmk123]

well HBO is doing their own streaming service in the next few months which is why I have cancelled my cable.

I thoroughly enjoy "Looking" but I can wait a few months to finish watching this season

I'm not watching it. I've decided that in general I'm not interested in seeing shows or movies about attractive gay males who either have no problems meeting guys or that who somehow can't find the right guy until the good relationship fairy sprinkles pixie dust on them and they finally find their one true love. But for those who might be interested but don't have HBO, Season 1 is on iTunes.

Thanks for the replies. Jonathan is really adorable. I would love to meet him. I tend to think that I would not be romantically attracted to him, but who knows. I would just love to spend time with him. He seems smart and witty. Just what this sad world needs.

[Doe Be Doe]

So, if anyone can arrange an introduction feel free to send me a message.

Or skip the movie entirely and just check out this link:

Since were asking about meeting stars, can anyone fix me up with Ricky Martin? If not him, I'll settle for the gay twin of Brad Pitt.

 

cheers

Here's Taylor Kitsch carrying him for some reason. I don't know the story behind this....

I like Mr. Kitsch better as a brunette than a blond...

Thanks for that link, dekim.... much appreciated...

The scenes with Taylor and Jonathan are from Larry Kramer's "The Normal Heart" on HBO. It's still available on HBO; Taylor Kitsch has a far more significant role than Jonathan Groff.

 

The last time I checked there were several Jonathan Groff concerts available on YouTube.

Speaking of Jonathan on YouTube, check out his "Anything Goes" homage to Sutton Foster:

 

 

(I'd never heard of the Miscast benefit program, but it looks like it could be very entertaining.)

Oh dear God. I love him so much it hurts.

Jason Bateman is now officially bumped to chair 2.

 

Thanks for this!

Awesome performance--adorable as well as talented.

[adriano46]

+2 Yes indeed he is.

[Doe Be Doe]

Now: how do I get him to fall in love with me? All suggestions welcome!

You don't ask for much, do you, Doe Be Doe?

I would be the lucky one, that's for sure.

 

But, if he's gonna for in love why not with me? I mean I'm not Zach Quinto or some other young hot Hollywood star, but I'm still breathing!

Since you live in New York, you probably know that Jonathan is starring in William Finn's "A New Brain" for a few performances at City Center at the beginning of the summer -- June.

 

All you need is the opportunity to chat with him.

[Doe Be Doe]

Yes, I've got tickets to A New Brain and also flying to LA to see him in Whipping Man.

 

I just wish he'd do another concert soon. He could open the Manhattan phone book and sing the names and numbers and I'd be in awe.
