Beyonce Wants To Steal Jonathan Groff's "Hamilton" Walk
Jonathan Groff temporarily ended his stint as King George in the Broadway phenom Hamilton this week to head back to Hollywood to film the Looking finale, but he got one hell of a going away present, from The Queen B herself.
Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeted the meeting, in which Jonathan managed to maintain his composure.
Barely.
Groff got embarrassed. But he said I could tell you. Next three tweets.

1)
Beyonce: Did you play the King?
Groffsauce: Yes.
Beyonce: I'm stealing your walk. I love your walk.
Groffsauce: *inarticulate sounds*

2) Beyonce: When you turned away still facing the audience?
*BEYONCE DEMONSTRATES FLAWLESSLY*
Beyonce: You were your OWN turntable. Love it.

3) And then, in Groffsauce's own words
"Then the ground swallowed me up and I died happy."
Thus endeth the meeting of Beyonce & Groffsauce.

There is no straight-male equivalent for the ecstasy of Beyonce telling you
"I love your walk."
ESPECIALLY for Groffsauce, walk enthusiast.

Bruce Lee: "Can you teach me that cool kick?"
That's the closest I can approximate to what happened to Groffsauce.
