Patrick J. Adams is the latest hottie on the USA Network, where they so proudly proclaim characters are welcome. We're pleased to hear that, since Patrick plays one layered onion of a character on the lawyer series "Suits." For that reason, we're naming him this week's Hump Day Hottie.
Check out this dreamy photo of Patrick (fittingly enough, in a suit), and then keep reading for more details about him!
Vital Stats: The 29-year-old Toronto native is not only charming on the small screen, but also quite the charmer in real life, as well. And he's quite humbled by the opportunity to be this week's HDH. "Hump Day Hottie! I did some exploration when I found this out. I did some research. I want to know what's expected of me now that I've been confirmed," he joked.
Unfortunately for all us ladies, he's already found a girl who warms his heart. When asked what his perfect date would be, he even dropped her name and made us swoon over him a bit more. "My perfect date would be with the love of my life ["Pretty Little Liars" star] Troian Bellisario. I've been trying to get her to go to Griffith Observatory," he said. "We're really into stars. Or a drive out to the desert, but something that has to do with looking up at the sky."
Of course, as sweet as that sounds, his first date ever (with another lady, it should be noted) was nothing that romantic. "My first date was pretty bad, was pretty tragic. I must have been like 15 years old, and we went and saw 'The Nightmare Before Christmas.' I was shaking I was so scared. Back in the day before I was an HDH, I think I used to eat a little too much, and I think out of nervousness I kept going back and ordering food. And this poor girl was like, 'I don't want anymore food.' At the end I was so scared that I didn't even wait for her mom to pick her up... I left her waiting in front of the theater," he recalled, but he wants to mend bridges. "I want to apologize; Christina's out there somewhere, and I apologize profusely."
Where you might have already seen him: He's been all over TV, including a cameo on "PLL" and appearances on shows like "Cupid" and "Friday Night Lights."
Why you should take notice of him now: He plays quick-witted, though completely unperfect Mike Ross on "Suits," where he's hoping his book smarts and street skills are enough to keep his law firm from finding out he didn't exactly go to college.
"I thought it had so much heart... They are people that are struggling with real things, and with Mike specifically, I thought he's a character that's not the coolest guy in the room all the time," he told us. "He's capable of doing calculations quickly and remembering things, but he's a really flawed character."
Until next week, when we chose another Hump Day Hottie, you can salute Patrick by gawking at the picture above!
