'Bachelorette' heartthrob Joe Park on being the purest soul ever - Entertainment Weekly

She walked in and she really does have a vibrance about her that is undeniable — outside of the really bright [sequined] dress she was wearing that was like kind of blinding in and of itself.

I can't even put it into words, there's a je ne sais quoi, I don't know, but it's there.

First of all, this whole thing — even the fact that I'm talking to you right now, and the fact that I lasted this long [on the show] — is a mystery to me.

I mean, I'm grateful for it and I appreciate it, but I'm like, what's happening right now.

We were stuck with all the things that we wanted, all the material things — but there's no, no happiness at all, or very little.

My family was okay for the most part, and I was just so grateful.

So when I was able to go do the show, and just to be able to go to the desert and pursue love without masks, without seeing people around me sick in this war zone that the hospital was...

I was just grateful, you know.

The older I get, the more I'm like, "Man, we're all in this together.

Also, Spencer in particular — people were like s---ing on Spencer before [when he arrived].

And I was just like, "Hey Spencer, you're a really misunderstood guy.

The first thought when I saw that was like — I know Matt James is the Bachelor now, and I was like, man, I hope I'm not still single by 2022.

I hope I'm in a committed relationship by then.

But it's like, jeeze, I'm not getting any younger.

It's flattering, but I hope I'm not single until then, if I'm honest with you.

No, I haven't, but I just like thought experiments.

The thought experiment that I always pose to my friends is like, "Okay, you went on like four great dates with someone.

You like the same music, everything's great.

Is that reconcilable to you, for someone you want to like pursue a relationship with?" It gives people pause?

Like, what does that say about you?

All of it, environmentalism, being thoughtful — there's more to it than just littering.

You can't just dive into, like, "So, do you want kids.

What would you say to people who think it's okay to travel and have gatherings this Thanksgiving.

We'll get through it and let's just hunker down just for a little bit longer because it looks like there's a light at the end of this tunnel.

They had a one-on-one and it seems like they had a great time.

Outside of just being like a gorgeous human being, he's a great listener and he's very thoughtful.

He's just somebody who you want to be around.

Obviously a stud also — I don't know if you've seen shirtless pictures of Ivan, but he's shredded.

He has a great family, and he's got great family values.
