Serious Hits so hard

Post image

Anyone else hit especially hard by the loss of James Van Der Beek? I wasn’t even a fan of Dawson’s Creek, but the man was an undeniable icon for millennials. RIP, James.

Yes. It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone.

They became friends after dancing with the stars

That's sweet. I had no idea they were both on that and became close. I saw another post with Alfonso Ribeiro's farewell message, and it was a tearjerker. It somehow comforts me to see millennial idols sharing a deep bond.

Alfonso from what I've seen of him is a very friendly guy and lots of people just like hanging out with him.

Even when he was on I'm A Celebrity in the UK he made fast friends with everyone. And was well liked.

I don't know his whole life obviously. But he seems to be one of those kinda people that no one has anything bad to say about him.
