Although the internet loves Ryan Gosling and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I firmly believe that Anderson Cooper is the perfect man. What more could you possibly want? He’s an accomplished journalist, funny, intelligent, a superb giggler and a fucking Vanderbilt. Also, he looks like this. That picture is photoshopped, but it’s real to me.

For those of you also under the Coop’s pale spell, here are 29 GIFs of the foxiest Silver Fox that ever foxed — each of which its own explanation as to why he’s the world’s most adorable human. (Because he just is.) When darkness comes and pain is all around, these GIFs will be your bridge over troubled water. See how they shine:
