A Young Lin-Manuel Miranda Was In Britney Spears' 2008 Documentary "For The Record" And It's Everything

LIN!!!

If you're any sort of Britney Spears fan or are really just a living, breathing, human being for that matter, then you DEFINITELY remember her eye-opening 2008 documentary, For the Record.

MTV

In case you missed it, Britney let us into her life and shed light on some ~not so fun~ stuff that happened the year prior. 2007 was terrible, but things are much better now!

Anyways, while I was watching the documentary for the 1,000th time, I saw something I hadn't noticed before...

A young, graphic-tee-wearing Lin-Manuel Miranda!

Obviously I had to rewind and do a double-take. HOW CUTE IS HE?!

Around halfway through the documentary, in which we also see Britney film her music video for "Womanizer," she goes to see a new Broadway play called In the Heights.

Prior to Hamilton and a laundry list of others, In the Heights was the first major musical that put Lin on the map, hitting Broadway in 2008.

Lin not only co-created the musical, but he composed and acted in it as well.

After the show, Britney went backstage to meet a then-28-year-old Lin and took pictures with the cast.

Lin, whose play had only been on Broadway for a few months, was noticeably nervous while meeting Brit, and it's so damn sweet!

After leaving, Britney talked about how much she loved the show.
