Who Won Finding Mr. Christmas?
Moreland is a former Navy rescue diver and model from California.
You wont have to wait long to see his acting chops on full display.
While we wish a huge congratulations to Ezra Moreland, that is not who caught our eye.
We were rooting for the Southerner who made it to the final four, Blake Kelley.
Who Is Blake Kelley?
Hes also a former college football player, a wide receiver for Texas Tech.
Even Bennett admitted to us that Blake is Americas fan favorite.
He embodies that because hes never done any of these things before.
Hes never acted before.
Hes never danced before.
And he did that.
I couldnt find it.
I tried various different things.
Thats how he came across HallmarksFinding Mr. Christmas.
Im like, okay I can compete.
I know how to do that.
So thats led to just the leap of faith, just an adventure.
And I didnt want to go to bed anymore thinking what if?
While Kelley admits that he wasnt super confident going into the show, he jumped with both feet.
He was willing to try anything and everything that was asked of him, as Bennett pointed out.
We’re saying Blake, we need you to do this challenge.
Have you ever done it before?
Never done it before in my life but Im excited to try it.
He was able to improvise and move through scenes with ease.
So I went into this I was kind of sizing the guys up.
Watching what they said.
Watching what they did.
Taking little mental notes and I didnt want to divulge too much of what I thought.
I played my cards close.
But then I realized that these guys were handling it the exact opposite.
I almost felt like they wanted you to win as much as you wanted yourself to win.
As cliche as it sounds, Ive gained a few new brothers.
Thats what it feels like.
I text them and talk to them just like I talk to my own brother.
Hes taking acting and improv classes and absorbing as much as he can.
Again it goes back to my football background.
I played wide receiver which runs around and catches the ball.
So catch 100 passes a day just so it’s possible for you to be better at catching.
Same applies here for me.
Im going to take these acting classes and do as much as I can.
So I am wholeheartedly going to chase this.
But at the end of the day Im just going to let the cards fall where they may.
And everything will end up like it should be.
