Ellen And Vans Teamed Up To Give The 'Damn, Daniel' Kid The Coolest Gift

by Eitan Levine

Damn, Ellen! Hookin' up Dan with a lifetime supply of Vans!

Daniel Lara is having a better week than all of us combined.

The 14-year-old California high school freshman became one of the most unlikely Internet sensations of all time -- sans William Hung from “American Idol,” the original viral sensation -- after a series of Snapchats featuring a friend of his yelling, “DAMN, DANIEL!” went BEYOND viral online.

Daniel Lara and Josh Holz, the videos' narrator, stopped by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” to talk about the origin of the videos, and Daniel ended up being gifted a lifetime supply of his signature white Vans.

WAIT!!! ONE EFFING SECOND!!!

DANIEL IS 14?! THE DUDE LOOKS LIKE A 38-YEAR-OLD MODEL!!! I THOUGHT HE WAS, LIKE, A FATHER OF THREE WHO JUST HUNG AROUND THE SCHOOL.

ALSO, are ALL kids this beautiful nowadays?!

I don't care what ANY of you say about GMO food, it's clearly working GREAT. Our nation's youths all look like tiny Chris Hemsworths.
