It seems for Chris Colfer life imitates art.
Colfer's alter ego of Kurt Hummel on the Fox musical-comedy Glee is a gay student at McKinley High who is perpetually single. Ditto for Colfer, it would appear.
In a new interview with USA Weekend magazine, the 20-year-old Colfer announced he's looking for love.
“I have no problem talking about my dating life because it is a short, short conversation [laughs],” Colfer said.
“I would love to be in a relationship, but I don't have any offers! Truly! Fans, yes. Dates, no. Fingers crossed. I'd love to meet a guy,” he said.
Colfer added that he's shattered the myth that gay actors should remain closeted.
“One of the nicest things I've heard so far is how powerful it is to see a positive portrayal of a gay teenager on television,” Colfer said. “I get so many fan letters from people telling me their own coming-out stories. It's so funny: You always hear that as an actor you're not supposed to be open about your homosexuality. And now here I am, and I'm 20 years old and I'm myself and I've [won] a Golden Globe!”
