Darren Criss says to not apologize for liking Glee
Details is the magazine all us gays used to subscribe to when in the closet to see all the hot guy pics or was that Universal Gear. Well OK we still have the subscription to Details because it brings out the metro sexual in everyone and we love it. Next month they are bringing us something else we love the hottie Darren Criss.
Actor Darren Criss is featured in the new February issue of DETAILS magazine. The 24-year old star of Glee is bringing his song-and-dance skills to Broadway. Moms, gays, and Michele Bachman, rejoice! This Details issue hits stands nationwide on January 17 known as the February issue. Here are some highlights from Darren Criss’ “Last Call” column Q&A.
When asked about meeting Michelle Bachmann Criss said “I never let my politics supersede my manners. She came up with her husband and was sweet as can be. She was like, ‘My kids love the show. I don’t watch it myself, but I’d love it if you could sign these postcards.’ It dawned on me that she didn’t know what the hell Glee was.”
On wearing a bow tie in both Glee and How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying… “I’ve been pigeonholed.”
My favorite part of the interview was about the mothers saying they were there for their daughters. Now come on and admit you are fans too and want Darren just as badly and watch the show Glee! “What’s funny is that the moms always feel like they have to qualify everything. ‘I’m here for my daughter. Can I get a picture?’ You don’t have to apologize for liking Glee. My joke is the fans are either 16 or 60. What I wouldn’t give to have someone come back who wasn’t a mom or a teenager.”
On what it’s like getting so much attention early in his career…
“Hollywood is a strange, strange thing. I feel like I’ve been invited to a very exclusive ball and I’m just trying to make nice with everybody and hope that if they kick me out they’ll at least give me a ride home.”
An awkward or surreal moment during Darren’s rise of fame with super pop legend Mariah Carey:
“I never thought I would meet Mariah Carey, but I really never thought I’d be introduced to her by Whitney Houston. She’s like, ‘Hey, baby, this is Mariah.’ I’m like, ‘I know. I’m Darren. I don’t know what I’m doing here.’”
