With the end of short king spring comes hot rodent summer, when a hyper-specific rat pack of celebrities like "The Bear" star Jeremy Allen White and "Saltburn" actor Barry Keoghan become the internet's most desirable men.
The April release of tennis romance film "Challengers" sparked a wave of Gen Z people who found themselves yearning for stars Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor. Simultaneously others noted that although handsome, the two also bear a striking resemblance to rodents, comparing Faist to cartoon mouse Stuart Little and O'Connor to Roddy from "Flushed Away."

According to Dazed, the apparent originator of the term, comparing men to rats is the new version of comparing men to golden retrievers.
