Darren Criss, who plays out-and-proud
student Blaine Anderson on Glee, says he's comfortable with
his sexuality.
On the Fox musical-comedy, gay student
Kurt Hummel, played by Chris Colfer, is in love with Criss' Blaine,
but so far Glee creator Ryan Murphy has yet to pair up the
choir boys.
In a cover interview with Prestige
magazine, Criss says he had no reservations about playing a gay
character on the show.
“That wasn't even something on my
radar,” Criss said. “For me, I was reading a really great
character and I was excited about it. I feel comfortable with my
sexuality, and I defy anyone who tries to weird me out with
accusations or anything like that. Blaine's sexuality didn't even
cross my mind as something that would be an issue.”
The rumor that Kurt and Blaine's
friendship will turn into something romantic is being fanned by the
much hyped February 8 Valentine's Day episode, which, according to TV
Guide's William Heck, will
include Kurt and Blaine crooning to Robin Thicke's When
I Get You Alone
“outside a Gap store as Blaine prepares to profess his love.”
