You simply have to see Kumail Nanjiani's dad's socks
It's been a week. Between the Iowa caucus disaster, the State of the Union, and Trump's inability to blend his orange makeup, we've been through a lot. We deserve a dash of wholesomeness, and actor Kumail Nanjiani's father is here to deliver.
Nanjuani made news in December after revealing his ripped look for his role of Kingo in Marvel's upcoming movie, The Eternals. His abs were a far cry from his everyman pudge he and his characters had rocked previously, so it was a Big Deal.
The internet went bananas once those photos dropped, but it turns out that we're not the only ones who are into Nanjiani's muscles. On Saturday, he tweeted out photos of his dad's socks, adorned with the famous shirtless photo and the text "I AM HIS DAD."

The socks, like the original photos, went viral and it's plain to see why: not only is Kumail's dad supportive of his son's work, but he went so far as to print socks letting the world know that HE IS HIS DAD. We stan supportive parents! Now for the important question: where can we cop a pair?
