Back in 2019, there were a few weeks where a different mean rumor went around about young Will every day, so I decided to try starting a nice rumor about him every day.  I never followed through with it, but I did come up with a bunch of potential nice rumors (totally not while at work), and I thought you might get a chuckle out of them.

Adam Cringer’s hair is so beautiful only because Will gave up his own luscious locks to save Adam from baldness.

Will writes to his parents regularly.

Will once stopped an assassination attempt.

Will’s been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for the Trapping of the Mouse.

Will happens to be an exquisite baker.

Back before Catholicism was outlawed, Will was visited by the patron saint of theatre.

Will’s an incredible singer, but he’s super shy about it and doesn’t perform for anyone.
