One of the highlights of the 2015 Golden Globes was Michael Keaton’s emotional acceptance speech following his win for Best Actor, Musical or Comedy.

The teary-eyed actor gave a shout-out to his best friend (and son), Sean Douglas. While it was undeniably Keaton’s moment, it was Douglas who became a trending topic on Twitter after the camera cut to his handsome mug.

So who is Douglas? Well, as Keaton informed us last night, he’s a "kind, intelligent, funny, talented, considerate, thoughtful" young gent.

He’s also a multi-platinum songwriter and producer who’s penned hits for the likes of Jason Derulo, Madonna, and the Backstreet Boys.

Yes, last night may have been the first time you’ve feasted your eyes on the web’s latest celeb crush, but there’s a good chance you’ve been enjoying Sean’s infectious hooks for a long time.

Just in the past two years, Sean has written or produced "Heart Attack" by Demi Lovato, "Talk Dirty" and "Wiggle" by Derulo, and "Ghosttown" from Madonna’s latest album.

Needless to say, Douglas is no entitled Hollywood do-nothing, and he’s clearly inherited that famous Keaton/Douglas work ethic that his dad mentioned in his speech.

On a related note, are we the only ones who didn’t realize Michael Keaton changed his name when he went into acting? Probably a good idea. Going by Michael Douglas may have led to some confusion.
