Donald Glover on Oscar Parties, New Season of Atlanta, Being a Beatles Fan & Childish Gambino Music

[@thefreedommovement]

I wanna see Donald again. I worked with him way back in 2009 (mystery team), during which I found out my best friend/the man who raised me (my gramps) had cancer and dementia. After finishing my work on set, I took a moment to myself outside, and had a little cry over the situation. I didn’t know Donald saw me. He then spent almost an hour at the claw game in the bowling alley we were filming at, won a stuffed fish, and gave it to me, saying “just thought you could use some cheering up”. Sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.

Donald is looking like he's in a really good place. Ngl, after S02 of Atlanta and him saying it was his last tour as Gambino, I was sort of worried he was burned out and done. He looked worn in talk shows. Or weary. Like he wasn't about the life. Now he looks like the Glover we know and love. Not that he has to be somebody for us, but I just think he looks like he's in a good place.

I feel that too. It’s like he’s just at Peace on a deeper level. He stepped out the matrix but he been did that and now he’s just focused on family and quality content. We all get burned out so I’m glad he peeled back to take care of himself

[@scottpwrs]

I think this statement is crazy because you don’t know him. this is all speculation on your part just to fill in the air because you love a person you don’t even know.

[@chrizchanang]

I love seeing Donald a little more cheery lately. There was a period that began from his album, Because the Internet and the second season of Atlanta where he seemed super low energy and had a very unenthused demeanor about him. I love his comedy and his dorkiness so seeing him sorta back in that element is nice.

[@CR-dq1ch]

Agreed! I was unsure what it was, I almost felt like it was a character. No matter what, it's good to have some of his "dorkiness" back!

[@GeronFletcher]

@D_ans 10000% I’m actually watching the new episode that dropped yesterday right now lol perfect timing

[@thestormlscoming]

@D_ans depends what you’re into. There are a lot of layers to the show and commentary spread throughout. I think I could’ve written a whole thesis on season 2. The theme of s2 was “Robbin’ season” and each episode carried that notion of being robbed, but not just in typical way. One episode was about how someone’s childhood was robbed. There’s a lot of matter of fact aspects for the show but also a lot of surreal and abstract pieces interwoven. And the humor sprinkled throughout is great. But ultimately I think this is a very profound show. I think s2 really let the show shine even more, and s3 is so far carrying on the same trend.

[@GhoulReviews]

One of those shows that is worth all the hype. It's an absolute masterpiece of a show.

[@papagrantits]

You can tell Donald struggles with Hollywood just by the look on his face when Jimmy said he's like Will Smith and Chris Rock combined. Just that face of "that's not something I wanted to hear"
