Unfamiliar with Domhnall Gleeson? No, you're not. You just don't know you know him, and also that you're wildly in love with him. Domhnall (that's pronounced Do-nal, for us confused Americans) was actually in nearly every movie in 2015, namely Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Brooklyn, The Revenant, and Ex Machina. You might also recognize him as Bill Weasley from the Harry Potter films, a slew of splendid indie films, and "Be Right Back," the best episode of British series Black Mirror / maybe of any TV show in history. Domhnall is ever present, always awesome, and it's his birthday today, so we're going to take 15 beautiful moments to celebrate his existence. Now, prepare to get obsessed.
15. Look at how seriously precious he is. He is actually lighting the world up with that smile.

14. Rachel McAdams should have been so lucky as to travel across time to stalk him.

13. You chose the wrong man in, Saoirse Ronan! You chose the wrong man.

12. Remember super evil/eternally-constipated-looking General Hux from The Force Awakens? Yeah, you're in love with him now.
11. Domhnall was also in The Revenant, and the way he looks here is also how I looked while I was waiting for him to finally have more screentime.
10. Look how dapper and fuzzy he can be. Is there a single look he can't pull off? (No.)
9. He is as close to a literal Weasley as it gets, and he is basically half of the experience of the Gringotts ride at Harry Potter World. That's right, Bill Weasley has his own actual ride at a theme park. Take that, all you other characters.

8. Look at all that effortless hotness.
7. And while he can be a clean-shaven prince of preciousness...
6. ...He can also be majestic as hell with a ginger mane that puts lions to shame.
5. Why did this happen? I'm not sure, but aren't we glad it did? Hot damn, what a versatile actor.
4. If you ever want to be emotionally torn to shreds, you need to watch "Be Right Back," the first episode of the second season of the British, Twilight Zone-esque series Black Mirror right now.
3. Please examine how radiant he is. He is literally glowing off the screen.

2. I won't get specific, but every movie where Domhnall Gleeson is murdered is the worst movie ever.
1. This GIF should seriously come with a warning for stopping your heart.
