Darren Criss, who plays out and proud
gay student Blaine on the Fox musical comedy hit Glee, is
rooting for Chris Colfer's character, Kurt Hummel, to get a
boyfriend, but he's not so sure it should be him.
Kurt fled from his tormentor Dave
Karofsky, played by Max Adler, and McKinley High after school
officials decided against disciplining the bully, and towards the
Dalton Academy, where he joined Blaine.
Kurt
is paired up with Blaine in an upcoming cover of Train's Hey Soul
Sister, but does the
performance suggest romance?
In
an interview with MTV News, Criss confided that the signals from
the show's writers on whether Blaine and Kurt will become an item
remain mixed.
“There are days we're like, 'Oh,
yeah, they're definitely going to do that,'” he said. “Then
there are days when we're like, 'You know what, I don't think it
really makes sense.'”
Criss added that if the relationship
turns romantic, he hopes it's “sincere.”
“Whether or not that relationship
develops in a romantic way, to me, is neither here nor there,” the
openly straight actor said. “I think if it does happen, I would
hope that it's organic and sincere and really earned. I trust the
writers and creators of the show. They write the characters really
well, and I don't think it will be cheap if it happens. I hope that
it's real and right for the story. I want to see Kurt get somebody
too.”
