Longtime Gilmore Girls fans have always known that Christopher Hayden, the character played by David Sutcliffe, was the worst. The childhood sweetheart of Lorelai and the father of Rory was a privileged, spoiled manchild with obsessive possessive feelings toward “Lor,” which folded nicely into his horrifying sense of entitlement.
Whadya know: Typecasting? This week Sutcliffe tweeted that although rumors were spreading that he had been among the group of insurrectionists that “stormed the capital” [sic], he was not among them. But he says he would have been happy to share a doob with Twitter user @davenewworld_2 who was there (smoking weed), calling him a “great Patriot!”
