Walker Diggs, the 15-year-old son of famed Broadway performer Idina Menzel and actor Taye Diggs, recently made a rare red carpet appearance. Viewers were ecstatic to see the adolescent accompany his father to Critics Choice’s Celebration of Black Cinema and Television in Los Angeles on December 9th.

Walker dressed professionally in a black suit and a white button-up shirt. Taye, on the other hand, added to his son’s traditional style with a light gray patterned suit, maroon shirt, and beige hat. The father-son pair exuded joy as they posed for photos and relished the star-studded event.

Fans of Idina and Taye couldn’t contain their excitement after spotting Walker in images posted online. Many people flocked to social media to show their adoration for the attractive adolescent and his amazing likeness to his father.

On Instagram, one person said, “THAT’S IDINA’S BABY BOY.” I love him. However, he resembles his father more closely. I’m having trouble finding Idina in him.” Someone else noticed the similarity between Walker and Taye, noting that he “has his daddy’s smile.”

The remarks continued, with one Instagram admirer jokingly asking, “Did Indina’s genes even try? I occasionally see her, but he appears to have inherited his father’s features. Time flies. I recall watching Taye pick him up from daycare. Another fan simply said, “He looks just like his dad.”

Similar reactions flooded in from TikTok, where fans expressed their opinions. “He’s adorable aw [sic]!” one person exclaimed, while another said, “He has Taye’s smile.” Another netizen said, “[They] look so much alike.”

On Facebook, the accolades kept flowing. “Handsome son,” one user remarked, and another added, “So cute!!!”

Walker’s participation alongside his father at Critics Choice’s Celebration of Black Cinema and Television was more than simply a joyful family moment; it also served the event’s larger goal of showcasing excellence in Black entertainment.
