5 Reasons Why Grant Gustin Is The Perfect Flash
3. He's An Inspiration In Real Life
While he undoubtedly does a great job playing a superhero on TV, Gustin doesn't need the red mask to inspire people in real life. Not only did he prove his critics wrong with his strong performances, he also proved nothing that can stop you from achieving your goals if you put your mind to it — especially not the weight-shaming internet trolls. Just by being The Flash, Gustin has highlighted that thin guys can be superheroes too, and that says more than anyone's negative words ever could.
Furthermore, he has used his platform to speak out about the wrongs of weight-shaming on more than once occasion, negating the haters' comments, promoting the importance of self-love and reminding us all that boys can have confidence issues as well.
Not all heroes wear capes, and Grant Gustin certainly doesn't need one to inspire people.
