Who Is Austin Scott, the Dreamy New 'Pose' Actor Who Has Us Swooning?

Blanca's got a new man, and we're seriously swooning for him!!

If you watched last night's episode of FX's groundbreaking ball-themed series Pose (entitled "Life's a Beach"), then you know our Mother of the Year and head of the House of Evangelista Blanca (M.J. Rodriguez) met herself a new man, a lifeguard  named Adrian, while on vacation with the girls. While he was only on screen for a few minutes throughout the entire episode, it's safe to say he left a lasting impression on viewers, especially since many fans are rooting for Blanca to find love in her life (goodness knows she deserves it!). But exactly who is this new mystery man?

IRL, Adrian is played by Austin Scott, a Broadway actor most know for playing the lead role in Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton musical. Just like Adrian, Austin is extremely swoon-worthy, and tbh, we're kinda sorta falling head over heels in love with him as well. 

Why, you ask? Let's get into it...

He's a Broadway star.

He is currently starring in the titular role of Alexander Hamilton in Lin-Manuel Miranda's extremely popular musical Hamilton.

He likes long walks on the beach.

Don't we all?

And sipping tropical drinks.

Yum!

He likes to hang out.

And looking amazing while doing it. 

And seeing Marvel movies with his family.

He sure knows the way to our geeky hearts!

He loves to read.

An educated king!

Seriously, it's his thing!

Gahhh, nothing make us weaker than a man who expands his mind on a regular basis!

He's willing to stand up and protest for what's right.

Raising awareness for a social cause is very important.

And most importantly, he loves food.

We love a guy who can eat!

Basically, Austin Scott is a complete and total heartthrob.

And the perfect new addition to the Pose cast!

We need more Austin in our lives!!!

Blanca deserves all of the love in the world, so hopefully we get to more of Adrian in future Pose episodes!!

For more on Austin, make sure to follow him on Instagram! And watch the season finale of FX's Pose on Tuesday, August 20!
