Tanner from Love on the Spectrum finally met his idol Jack Black, and it’s too wholesome
The clip honestly has me in complete shambles
If seeing Tanner on Love on the Spectrum was enough to pull at your heartstrings, just wait until you watch the video of him meeting Jack Black for the first time. I’m not kidding, you will be uncontrollably sobbing with pure joy.
Tanner appeared on the Kelly Clarkson Show to discuss Love on the Spectrum, as well as his ongoing love for Jack Black.

He told Kelly that his goal is to be “31” by the time he meets Jack Black, with Kelly telling him that Jack had made a personalised video just for Tanner.
In the video, Jack said: “What’s up, Tanner? Jack Black, here. I still cannot wait to meet you in person, but I’m on the road with A Minecraft Movie right now.
“But luckily, I have insane ninja, kung fu powers, which means I can come through these doors and I’m gonna see you right now when I come through these doors! Tanner, I’m here right now!”

Jack Black then dramatically bursts through the door (as I dramatically burst into tears) and runs towards Tanner, with the Love on the Spectrum star excitedly jumping to his feet and sprinting towards Jack to hug him.
Tanner delightedly exclaimed, “Jack, it’s you! Jack, I’m so excited to meet you! Jack! Jack! I’m so glad I finally get to meet you!
“Jack, I’m so happy to meet you! Jack, I’m your biggest fan ‘cause you’re a great actor and a great singer. So I’m happy to finally meet you!”

Tanner added that Jack was “handsome” and “strong”, with Jack responding that they “should do some weightlifting together.”
Tanner responded: “Guess what, I’m going to get your phone number and then we can work out together.”

Jack Black then told Tanner how much he’s enjoyed watching him on Love on the Spectrum, explaining: “I love you on the show and I can’t wait for the next season, and I’m so happy for you, having all of this success and time in your life. And to meet you in person is amazing for me too!”
Tanner finished their exchange by telling Jack that “this is the best day of my life.” And honestly, if you’re not crying at this point, are you okay?
