You know Dylan O'Brien: Teen Wolf alumnus, Maze Runner star, and resident internet boyfriend.
From new films to adorable interviews, 2022 was a big year for Dylan! So, without further ado, here are 21 Dylan moments that made us fall even more in love this year:

"It’s so funny, my palms are sweating. It’s overwhelming [and] it’s wonderful," he said in an interview with Bustle. "It’s just gnarly to think about little me having this really special thing happen."
4.When he talked about donning his exquisite 1956 Chicago costume in The Outfit:
Here are some pics of the costume in question, as a treat:
5.When he made the tough choice not to return as Stiles for the upcoming Teen Wolf movie, and perfectly explained his decision:
"I still have a lot of heart and loyalty to the show. When [the movie] came up, I immediately tried to make it work, but then, I just realized that I was going against my gut feeling the whole time. I think I was doing all of those things for other people and not myself," he explained in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter. "I was like, 'Oh, I actually don’t feel like I want to open that door back up, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I should just listen to that instinct and go with it.' So, that’s ultimately what I decided, and I think I kind of knew it in my heart the whole time. ... And once I realized how I actually felt about it, I was like, 'You know what? I think it’s totally fine to leave this, and I actually want that.' It was already left in a really nice place, you know? So, I didn’t want to touch it. I didn’t want to fuck with it."
6.When he and Zoey Deutch (who he co-starred in The Outfit and Not Okay with) took BuzzFeed's co-star test, and she told us how he brought an entire SUITCASE full of coffee with him when they filmed in London:

In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Dylan explained how he landed the role: "I woke up one day with a text from my manager saying, 'Taylor Swift’s manager is asking if she can reach out to you about a project.' And I was like, 'Whoa.' (Laughs.) And then, I gave her my number, and not even an hour later, I got this iconic fucking text from her that was so long and so funny and really, really thoughtful. And it was a full pitch of what she wanted to do. It was awesome." Swift also revealed to Bustle that she had always had Dylan in mind for the role!
