You will never be able to please everybody, especially not yourself
Chris Colfer: The weather just has to change and Kurt’s in tears
With a plethora of PopWrap posts previously dedicated to his performance, it should come as no surprise that I've been riding the Chris Colfer bandwagon since "Glee" first launched back in 2009. With that in mind, I'll save the effusive compliments since they've all been printed before and simply say that I caught up with one of my favorite actors last week to talk all about season two of "Glee." A year that has been endlessly eventful for Kurt Hummel, aka Porcelain, as he changed schools following repeated physical threats only to find unrequited (?) love and complete acceptance at Dalton Academy through Blaine and The Warblers. Now, with tonight's episode focusing on the hurdle that is Regionals, we will find out once and for all which glee club shall emerge victorious -- but according to Chris, that won't actually be the moment everyone is buzzing about tomorrow since death is coming to Lima, Ohio and claiming a character fans have grown to love.
ДалееPopWrap: We haven't spoken since your Golden Globes win -- so congrats! Did you actually black out? Chris Colfer: I have absolutely no recollection of any of it. I don’t even remember them saying my name, I just remember everyone at my table jumping up and Ashley [Fink] & Dianna [Agron] kinda pushing me towards the stage. That’s when I blacked out. I’m just so glad I didn’t make any political or religious jokes when I got up there [laughs].
PW: Very impressive that you were able to be so witty while unconscious -- especially with where you left your heart. Chris: Right? They’re the only people I could remember that were in the room, so I don’t even know if they were near where I was walking. I did a lot of debate in high school, so maybe that’s my automatic pilot.
PW: This season must have been quite jarring since you basically had to work with an entirely new cast after Kurt transferred to Dalton Academy. Chris: It really was, but I liked it because it literally put me in the same shoes as Kurt. I didn’t have to do much acting. He was in a new world and I didn’t know anyone besides the crew within the Warblers – but like Kurt, I became great friends with those guys, and as soon as Kurt goes back to McKinley, I will miss them!
PW: Jenna Ushkowitz was telling me how much she missed having you around, were there any New Directions songs you were bummed to have missed out on? Chris: Oh god yes! The whole thing with Gwyneth [Paltrow] last week, I was so upset. But I think I was most upset to have missed “Thriller/Heads Will Roll.” That made me really sad and it was so big and amazing and I felt so left out and sad that I couldn’t be a part of it. On the flipside, I got to be a part of so many fantastic Warblers songs, so it’s been an equal trade. Actually, no [laughs], it hasn’t. But I've loved it all the same.
PW: Ostensibly you'll be part of the upcoming Warblers CD, right? Chris: Yea, I’m interested to see what's going to be on it. I’m hoping they’ll put all the songs Kurt sang as a Warbler on that album. “Baby It’s Cold Outside” and I do “Blackbird” tonight and maybe “Animal” from last week.
PW: Yea, let's talk about "Animal" for a second -- what were your thoughts on that foam party? Chris: You know … I have a lot of thoughts [laughs]. Some inappropriate, some appropriate [laughs]. There were some moments that were very suggestive, which I guess you’d expect at a foam party. Just the fact that these kids found an abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere with so many foam machines – I think that’s the real accomplishment [laughs]!
PW: Which was more fun to film -- "Animal" or the GAP flashmob? Chris: Well, with The GAP, we got to go shopping at lunch, with a really big discount. So I have to say that one – plus, I liked taking inappropriate pictures with the mannequins.
PW: It all comes back to the inappropriate pictures & thoughts, doesn't it Chris? Chris: Hey, you gotta keep yourself entertained when you work the hours we work. But it’s really funny because whenever someone out there makes a comment about the show being inappropriate, risqué or suggestive, we’re always the first people to point it out on set. We’re the first ones to make the jokes about our show.
PW: Speaking of, I have to applaud that week's gay sex conversation Burt & Kurt had -- quite a brave scene to have on network television. Chris: Oh, absolutely. I was so thrilled when I got that sсript. Just the line when Burt says, “don’t throw yourself around like you don’t matter.” I think that’s something that every single kid – gay or straight – should hear because no one ever has that talk with their parents. Especially gay kids. March 15, 2011 Jarett Wieselman, New York Post,
