But as it turns out Derek Schwendeman’s grandfather isn’t the only gramps that makes the Internet totally weak in the knees. After his photo racked up over 3 million views, other users started uploading their own silver-screen-worthy ancestors, and we couldn’t be happier about the new #HotGrandpa trend.
They might be octogenarians now, but it doesn’t mean we can’t admire them back in the day!
I’d boogie-woogie with THAT bugle boy.
