From late May 2019, at the time of the release in quick succession of
Booksmart (2019) and
Ma (2019), a significant number of Twitter users (apparently mostly, though not exclusively, queer women), declared Diana Silvers to be 'white boy of the month'. 'White boy of the month' is a twitter meme, usually referring to an upcoming actor who is deemed attractive and who gains a sudden surge of interest. Past examples have included
Timothée Chalamet and
Will Poulter. Silvers became aware of this and discussed it with amusement and pride in a 29 May 2019 Build Series NYC interview with Brittany Jones-Cooper, expressing hope that the fact would be recorded on her IMDB page.
