While the 9-1-1 fandom has been up in arms the last couple of weeks over the apparent death of a main character, there is one thing bringing them together: the agreement that Gavin McHugh was so “stinking cute” in a recent throwback photo shared by the young actor.
McHugh, now 14, took to Instagram recently with a sweet snapshot of a younger version of himself sitting on someone’s lap at his eye doctor’s office, trying on a model pair of frames as he got fitted for his very first pair of glasses.
He wore a red, white and black striped shurt with a pair of red shorts, and the glasses were black on the main part of the frame with red arms securing them to his ears.
“My first pair of glasses #throwback,” he captioned the photo.
