Actor and DJ Ansel Elgort gifted his fans the best start to their day by singing a few bars from John Legend’s Good Morning. In case some of you are thinking, “wait – who is this?” Ansel, whose DJ alter ego is Ansolo, is one of the up-and-coming actors today who bagged the role of Caleb in the Divergent series and Gus in tear-jerker The Fault of Our Stars. Ansolo is currently filming Baby Driver with Jon Hamm, Jamie Foxx and Lily James. If none of that pings your radar, Ansolo is one of the top contenders to play Han Solo. THE Han Solo – just think about that when you watch the video below:

This isn’t the first time Ansolo has made his fan base weak-kneed with his crooning. A week ago he offered up this:
YOU KILLED THE PERSON FILMING, ANSOLO! You have to be careful with such a powerful gift; people are fragile.
If you are like me, you may still be thinking, “Seriously, how do I know that name?“ His father is the famed Vogue photographer Arthur Elgort. This makes me think Ansel was named after Ansel Adams, which warms me to him – a bit.
I should put these heartfelt gestures in perspective: remember that Ansolo, admits he “likes romanticizing romance.” I’m old, I know. Should this make me swoon? I don’t romanticize romance because that seems redundant and cliché so maybe I am just not the demographic for this. I prefer my men to shower more than once every 4 days and not to refer to themselves in the third person unless they’ve lost a bet. But I am starting to love this kid; he makes me giggle. Not intentionally, but the effect is the same.
Ansolo was dubbed by Vogue a member of The Instagram Aristocracy along with Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. I want The Instagram Aristocracy to make singing Snapchat messages a thing and have full conversations with them.

He’s another one I find completely uninteresting, and a very very bad fit for the young han solo.
I think I’m old
He’s got talent! I’m impressed.
Where?
Consider this: I think he’s rather crappy – attitude wise, hygiene-wise, and full of crap, but from what I heard he has a nice voice.
he can act, sing and dance (classically trained, he comes from a pretty rich family) which is more than what most of his peers in the entertainment business can say
Um…No.
He’s cute. I bet his fans passed out with his snapchats!
I’m afraid I will be unable to consider any part of this story until someone assures me, truly and without a whisper of doubt, that there is a human bean, in all seriousness, named Ansel Elgort. Shouldn’t Elgort be a robot name? Is he the son of a robot?
I would like to see a birth certificate, please.
A human…’bean’??? I can assure you there is no human ‘bean’ called Ansel Elgort. There is a human BEING however 😀
Kids got talent. I’ll give him that and no more. Perhaps thirteen year old me would have swooned? Nah. Not only do I not find him appealing but there’s something off-putting about him that I’m at pains to articulate.
I don’t like this kid. He is poses HARD every chance he gets. For instance, at basketball games, he will be the only one standing up, trying to rip his shirt off. In pictures in which everyone is dressed and smiling nicely, he will have his shirt off, flexing his abs, and kind of giving a crooked, Elvis smile. Ugh! Seriously, he probably spent 15 minutes getting his pose just so in the first picture. The only actor more cheesy than this cat is Scott Eastwood.
“Actor and DJ…”
That officially means this guy is a bag of dicks.
I was going to say obnoxious, but bag of dicks works.
I’m a huge EDM fan and I actually like his music.
I don’t have much of an opinion on this kid, altho I do side-eye the “actor/dj” moniker. And he looks slightly less douchey than Miles Teller. But, I will say I watched “The Fault on Our Stars” and thought he was terrific. He was charming AND heartbreaking, which isn’t the easiest combination to pull off.
Now, you Han Solo casting…did anyone else see “Age of Adeline” with Blake Lively? There’s an unknown actor who played a young Harrison Ford and he was PERFECT. Why haven’t they cast that guy yet??
I really have no opinion on who should play Han Solo. But since you mentioned the acto from “age of Adeline”, I am on board!
Kid, please. He is SO not playing Han Solo. No way.
Ugh.
