Chris Colfer is “very curious” about the Glee reboot and has already had some “nice conversations” about returning to the programme.
The 36-year-old actor shot to fame playing Kurt Hummel in the musical TV series, and while he didn’t confirm he will definitely be a part of the upcoming reboot, he offered some hints that he will as he gave the project his seal of approval.
He told Obsessed: The Podcast he had had a “nice conversation with someone” and added: “I’m gonna have more conversations soon. From what I heard, it sounded very funny and it sounded like a good idea. So we’ll see.
“At this point I’m just curious. We did so much stuff that was that was revolutionary and groundbreaking at the time. I’d be very curious to see how they keep that up.”
Although Chris noted it would be “really difficult” to return to the show after Naya Rivera drowned in 2020, he doesn’t want the loss of his friend, or that of Cory Monteith – who died in 2013 from an accidental overdose – to stop the rest of the cast coming together again.
He said: “It was really hard going back to the show after Cory passed, and I’m sure it’d be really difficult, especially now that Naya’s gone too.
“But I guess you have to think, are you going to let the loss of two people you love very much prevent you from being around a dozen other people you love as well? There’s a lot to think about with it.”
When Glee ended in 2015, Chris’ character Kurt had married boyfriend Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) and friend Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) was the surrogate for their child, so the actor would like a reboot to explore their lives as parents.
He said: “I’m sure he and Blaine would have very different parenting techniques. I think Blaine would be a gentle parent, and Kurt would not. I think Kurt would punish his children with scathing looks.”
And Chris would like to see his character “in a place of power” with a “fun” career.
He said: “I would love to see him like a Miranda Priestly-type, running his own fashion blog or a magazine.
“I could also see him on tour with Chappell Roan, styling her. There’s a lot of fun avenues they could explore.”
