About
Willem Dafoe "He's Gay, But He Has A Special Connection To Classical Music" represents a catchphrase that was extracted from a clip featuring actor Willem Dafoe as he delves into the specifics of his character, Paul Smecker, within the movie The Boondock Saints, all occurring during an interview conducted in early 2019. The clip experienced isolation throughout the 2020s and was subsequently extracted from its intended context. It subsequently saw deployment across memes featured on TikTok for the purposes of humorously portraying both people and pets.
Origin
On February the fifteenth, two thousand nineteen, the YouTube channel belonging to GQ put out a video wherein Willem Dafoe dissected a selection of his most renowned and iconic characters. While in the process of elaborating on the profoundness embodied by his Boondock Saints persona, known as Paul Smecker, Dafoe remarks, "He's gay, but he has a special connection to classical music," as can be observed below.
Spread
On January the seventh, two thousand twenty-two, TikTok user identified as curlyfries237 uploaded that pivotal moment taken directly from Dafoe's GQ interview onto TikTok, alluding to its perceived "sound potential," subsequently garnering upwards of one hundred thirteen thousand likes across a span of one year and a half (observed below, situated on the left-hand side). On February the ninth, TikToker going by the handle thetanglesystem disseminated a skit incorporating the sound, thereby accruing over four hundred eighty-five thousand likes across an equivalent timeframe (observed in the lower section, on the right-hand side).
The sound began to witness widespread usage with videos featuring pets one year subsequently. On January the first, two thousand twenty-four, TikToker emilybrawley1 deployed it as a means to characterize her canine companion, successfully garnering in excess of nine hundred forty-eight thousand likes within a duration of five months (seen below, right-hand side). Another TikTok posted on January the third by @itsamybelle with respect to her feline friend, garnered over five hundred thousand likes across five months (as depicted below, on the right-hand side)
