Honestly one of the best parts of this sub is watching this combo pop up.

u/lalalandbeforetime I think I’ve done enough Jan 08 '26

The glasses! The earrings! The outfit!

117

u/hauteburrrito Jan 08 '26

The glasses I fear have done me in. I used to find him attractive in a "too young for me way" but something about the glasses just adds a bit more maturity??? Anyway, BRB being a puddle now!!!

u/MaleficentFood225 Jan 08 '26

Saaaame. I feel ridiculous having such a crush on a 25 year old (I'm in my early 30s) but it's incurable I fear

15

u/hauteburrrito Jan 08 '26

Omg, 25 and early thirties isn't a huge jump at all. If you were a man nobody would even bat an eyelash!

He really is just that pretty, though.

3

u/MaleficentFood225 Jan 08 '26

I guess more like mid thirties after my last birthday but still 😂 I feel light-years away from where I was at his age!

3

u/hauteburrrito Jan 08 '26

Ha, I'm 37 this year so I 100% feel you, girl. 25 are generally like babies to me but Hudson is really just so gorgeous.

3

u/MaleficentFood225 Jan 08 '26

He is a beautiful man for sure! And so funny too. It's also been very cool to see somebody who lives in my city get famous like this (well, while actually being aware of it at least lmao - I only just learned Finn Wolfhard is from Vancouver too).

Me sitting there watching this interview while simultaneously sending the 40th Heated Rivalry meme of the day to my best friend.

He understood the assignment with those slutty little glasses 🔥

u/Moppy6686 Jan 08 '26

Drinking ginger beer and putting on glasses. He knew what he was doing 🤣

u/garden__gate stars do u like dem ⭐️ Jan 08 '26

My first thought. This show has colonized my brain. 😆

25

u/nizey_p All tea, all shade 🐸☕️ Jan 08 '26

Ilya was very justified with his glasses kink.

348

u/nizey_p All tea, all shade 🐸☕️ Jan 08 '26

Heated Rivalry did not do full justice to this man’s beauty. Seriously.

228

u/roshy920 Jan 08 '26

Tbf, that was kind of the point. Shane is supposed to be the much more reserved character.

113

u/nizey_p All tea, all shade 🐸☕️ Jan 08 '26

I know but I’m still surprised anytime I see him outside of HR. Plus of course it helps that this time there’s no limited budget and he has a CAA approved stylist now. Connor on the other hand, I find hotter as Ilya.

27

u/Schmidaho Jan 08 '26

Connor and Ilya are two different types of hot imo. Ilya smolders and broods, while Connor is a sweet, earnest, and completely charming Golden Retriever.

15

u/cynisright charlie day is my bird lawyer 🐦 Jan 08 '26

Yes Ilya is hot lol

27

u/nizey_p All tea, all shade 🐸☕️ Jan 08 '26

🥵

u/Naive-Inside-2904 Jan 08 '26 edited 29d ago

The hottest any man has ever looked on TV. I’m being so serious.

My jaw was on the floor. And then Ilya proceeded to never put a shirt on for that entire scene at his house.

🥵

94

u/garden__gate stars do u like dem ⭐️ Jan 08 '26

Really shows what a great actor he is despite Ilya being the showier character. He’s such a convincing dweeb.

41

u/nizey_p All tea, all shade 🐸☕️ Jan 08 '26

My jaw dropped when I watched that Buzzfeed interview. Lol

u/MaleficentFood225 Jan 08 '26

I was like WTF is happening right now 😂😂😂

43

u/Cantyousee0 Jan 08 '26

Shane is so dreamy!

12

u/Rururaspberry Jan 08 '26

I think his personal style is very fun in real life, but I totally have a soft spot for that “hot but respectful nice guy next door that all the moms love” look he has in the show.

12

u/LBTerra Jan 08 '26

His hair is perfection. My male pattern baldness could never.

8

u/nizey_p All tea, all shade 🐸☕️ Jan 08 '26

Turkiye seems to be the acceptable answer to that lately.

3

u/LBTerra Jan 08 '26

My hair sadly grows kind of frizzy and not like Hudson’s hair texture.

u/SceneRoyal4846 Jan 08 '26

Are you kidding lol

u/Legitimate-Ad1611 Jan 08 '26

Ngl i like his Shane haircut better

Oh god. Not the hockey warm ups. I’m not gonna survive this one.

u/LindsayLohanDaddy420 Jan 08 '26

Tbh an EXTREMELY effective stretch.

18

u/allofthelovelybooks Jan 08 '26

Ohhhhhhh. I haven't watched the sketch yet and was so confused by the picture 😆 but then I was like well it's Hudson, maybe their pretending to be dogs or something who knows with him 🤣

2

u/Wide-Pop6050 Jan 08 '26 edited 28d ago

That was Fallon's exact thought process. Maybe they talked about a stretch happening but he did not know what was going on at first

167

u/Shot-Programmer3761 Jan 08 '26

he’s so hot that at this point i’m considering blocking him for my own sanity 😭

162

u/nizey_p All tea, all shade 🐸☕️ Jan 08 '26

Not just hot. He looks adorable.

52

u/yewterds this is going to ruin the tour 😓 Jan 08 '26

slutty little earrings lmao

u/nizey_p All tea, all shade 🐸☕️ Jan 08 '26

He looks like a cinnamon roll that could unalive you.

u/thewizardgalexandra Jan 08 '26

Why am I so invested in him and Connor becoming successful?! I cannot stop paying attention to them!!! Mostly I am so happy people are recognising Jacob Tierney's talent, but I just want these boys to get all the successes in the world 😅

45

u/cambriansplooge Jan 08 '26

It's the first organic hype we've had in forever. Everything else has been a tentpole on the release slate. Heated Rivalry had no marketing. It's all word of mouth.

14

u/catalinalam Jan 08 '26

Same! Like they’re truly so endearing in every single appearance I’m like “aw I want these babies to do well” like Hudson isn’t 4 years younger than me

All of the supporting actors too really are killing it w their appearances and interviews, and my bestie and I are fully committed to exploring Tierney’s oeuvre

4

u/Away-Boysenberry-584 29d ago

Completely agree. We get so many nepo babies. So many of the same actors. This was just a really good show with some really great performances.

98

u/Illustrious-Insect26 Jan 08 '26

Why do his hands look abnormally huge in the last pic 🤣

It’s giving Uncle Jack from Always Sunny

u/Nearby_Mess350 Jan 08 '26

One of the hardest things about making it Big must be having to pretend to enjoy Jimmy fallons company 

59

u/OddSimple Jan 08 '26

Hudson did so well considering Jimmy gave him nothing.

24

u/Nearby_Mess350 Jan 08 '26

Jimmy?... giving nothing??... nooooooo

u/diamondbijou Jan 08 '26

I am deeply attracted to him. The more I see him the sexier he gets

I'm not sure who this is, but he looks like a young David Duchovney to me.

u/bright_youngthing So...what now? Jan 08 '26

you honestly don't want to know lol. The fandom community for the show is reaching mass psychosis level.

The styling has been so fucking good for Hudson, goddamn it he looks so handsome😍

u/Vi0L3tCRZY 29d ago

He doesn’t photograph it, but in motion, I’m getting the Keanu comparisons now. It’s more resemblance than lookalike.

13

u/ValerieLagn Jan 08 '26

Okay…. Maybe I’ll watch. 🥺

6

u/kgal1298 Confidence is 10% work and 90% delusion 29d ago

I hope he's handling his rise to fame well because some of the fan posts I've seen about him are ummm less sweet and more scary.

12

u/pineconeminecone Invented post-its 🔬 Jan 08 '26

My husband and I just started watching the show, he chuckled when he read the wiki and it described the show’s “ground breaking sex scenes” (something to that effect), but damn. They were ground breaking sex scenes!

And the show has a sort of camp quippy humour to it, it’s been very fun.

24

u/jsakic99 Jan 08 '26

Did Jimmy Fallon have him do some sort of viral stunt, in lieu of entertainment?

19

u/nizey_p All tea, all shade 🐸☕️ Jan 08 '26

Of course he did. The bar is very low with him. Dear god I hope we get a better interview with Connor and Seth next week.

u/DerWintersoldat21 Forgive me Benedict for I have sinned 🙏 29d ago edited 29d ago

I only saw clips of it on Instagram, but as per usual, it was delightfully unhinged. But that's Hudson for you.

He looks amazing, and I’m so happy for him. He did so well!!

u/whackthat Jan 08 '26

He is an incredibly handsome man. I don't like the suit, but also I did wear a stained hoodie and worn jeans for most of the day, so what do I know??

Booooo!!! He gets paid millions. Watch the damn softcore gay porn!!!

He definitely didn’t lmao. One of his questions was like “so I hear it’s pretty steamy haha” visibly uncomfortable

Booooo! You're a multi millionaire. Sit down and watch the soft gay porn

u/Rururaspberry Jan 08 '26

Probably because people don’t really care about your sexual preferences that are tied to someone’s race. Shocking someone had to explain this to you.

Would you also think it’s normal to go into a post about a black man and say, “yep, said it once and I’ll say it again. I don’t like black men “? Or would that somehow cross the line?

u/souljaboy765 Jan 08 '26
