A Who's Who Of The Internet's 'Hot Rodent Boyfriends'

The boyfriend of Kylie Jenner (and the rest of the internet) is the pin-up of 'hot rodent' energy. Not only is Chalamet hot (rodent) property on the FROW at fashion weeks across the board, he's also being snapped up left, right and centre to star in films, and is dating one of the world's most famous women. His vibes, according to the internet, are 'ratty' and his looks even more so, but owing to his ascending star, if ever anybody needed proof that rodent comparisons are no bad thing, Chalamet is it.

Still can't get that naked dancing scene from Saltburn out of your head? The chances are that you're what's referred to as a 'hot rodent lover', which, as the name suggests, implies your admiration for vermin-esque men. Just as Ms. Espresso herself, Sabrina Carpenter, who's been dating Barry Keoghan for several months now. Users on TikTok bemoaned how they couldn't quite decipher what Keoghan's allure exactly was, but now all has become clear. He is hot because he looks like a rat. Why, of course!

The former Mr. Taylor Swift, who is said to have inspired several tracks on her recent bestselling album The Tortured Poets Department, is, what TikTok refer to, as the poster child of the 'hot rodent boyfriend.'

'When I think of hot rodent boyfriend, I think of a man that like wouldn't be able to like physically protect you,' TikTok user Middle Part, who notes how Healy is leading the 'hot rodent' charge, notes in one of her videos on the subject. 'Like a man that would get knocked out in a fight, but he's sexy. He's still hot.'

Self-professed Ratatouille superfan, Josh O'Connor, who starred in the 'hot rodent' film of the year, Challengers, sealed his fate when he kept referencing his love for the rat0-themed 2007 Pixar film in interviews in May 2024.

He has since become one of the accidental founding fathers of the 'hot rodent boyfriend' movement, with his fans desperate for him to be cast as a rat in an unconfirmed re-boot of Ratatouille (rumours of a re-boot were swiftly shut down by Pixars' executives). What the internet wants, however, the internet does tend to get. All those in favour...

O'Connor's Challengers co-star, Grammy-winner Mike Faist, is, according to the internet, an 'archetypal rat boy.' The reason? Why his angular face, small features and nerdy energy, of course. As one X user so sagely put it: 'Learning that Mike Faist has sexy little rat boy energy BUT is also 6’ is earth-shattering.'

The north star of 'hot rodent lovers' everywhere, Jeremy Allen White, graduated from being ordained a rippling hunk thanks to his nearly-naked Calvin Klein campaign to lending an entirely new meaning to the moniker 'rat king.' The Bear star is proof that the old-fashioned hunk of yesteryear may well be having an identity crisis, but if a rat looks like that in his Calvin Kleins, then sign us up.

Despite standing at a towering 6"2, Girls star Adam Driver, has been beckoned into the cabal of 'hot rodent boyfriends.' Driver's long-standing appeal, despite his unconventional look, cemented his status as one of the 'hot rodent lover's' lesser-known MVPs. But still, rodent features aside, with that height, those eyes, and that body (have you seen his topless Burberry fragrance campaign?), we're not complaining.
