[@casuallysippingtea8334]

_"Hamilton's second act begins in 1789 with Jefferson returning home after serving as the U.S. Ambassador to France. During the song What'd I Miss, Diggs playfully struts around as his character references various life achievements. Jefferson carries a cane and seemingly limps while gliding across the stage, however the character's dance moves suggest that he's in decent physical condition."_ According to ScreenRant Oh wait I have new stuff from Diggs himself _"Because the character is so confident while recalling his political and personal experiences, the limp connects to what's known as the "pimp walk." In other words, there's a sense of "swaggering." So, the Jefferson persona is a blend of pop culture and street culture. His purple attire also makes him look the late pop icon Prince, which underlines the character's sense of entitlement. "_ Other quote from Diggs: _"With Jefferson, he's just grounded as hell. He's a little more loose, he's down to the ground. He has a limp in his walk. He leans. He doesn't really care. His gravitas is that of a pampered prince. There's an energy to it. An 'I don't have to try to be great' kind of walk."_ In real life, Thomas Jefferson wrote extensively about his need to exercise. Prior to arriving in America, he penned letters about his various routines, and documented memorandums from 1787 even show that he walked at "the rate of 4 3/20 miles an hour." By the 1810s, Jefferson continued to write about his exercise routines, which suggests that he didn't need any type of walking assistance. In 1812, at age 69, Jefferson expressed his love for horseback riding to John Adams, the second president of the United States.
