Awkward ELLE Interview with Matthew Morrison

Filed under Glee Interviews, Matthew Morrison by Rob on 23-12-2009

Matthew MorrisonWell if this doesn’t make you feel awkward, then I don’t know what will. Here’s an excerpt from an interview that ELLE Magazine did with Matthew Morrison. I’m not quite sure what was running through the interviewer’s mind for his first few questions/comments…

ELLE: So, Matt, you’re a musical theater star who’s been interviewed by The Advocate and much discussed on Manhunt.com, and you star in Glee, a program that’s referred to as “the gayest show on TV.” You must feel particularly proud being the first gay man to grace this page.

MATTHEW MORRISON: I’m not gay.

ELLE: I had indeed read in various places that you’re straight, but in light of the circumstantial evidence, I wasn’t sure.

MM: I grew up singing and dancing, so people have been calling me gay since fifth grade. I’ve heard everything you could possibly hear about it. But I do love gay people, so I’m not going to act like I was insulted or angry about it.

ELLE: But do you ever do anything to suppress your gayest traits? Like, on a club dance floor, will you keep a lid on your best moves in order not to look too much like Tommy Tune out there?

MM: Oh, yeah. I’ll do what I refer to as “the shoulder dance,” just, you know, move my shoulders and do a little head bobbing.

Matthew Morrison : ‘I Want To Do It All’
by Robert Masello

His own teen years were surprisingly positive.
“All the kids in the cast tell me they hated high school, but I had the best time. I guess I was one of the popular kids. I played soccer, I was class president—I even dated the homecoming queen.”

It’s as if the part of Will Schuester was written for him.
“If I could have written a part for myself, this would have been it. It showcases everything I’ve trained for, and it’s the kind of teaching job I could easily have wound up doing myself in real life.”

Drawing admiring glances from fans.
“This is certainly the most recognized I’ve ever been in my life, but that isn’t necessarily the most positive thing. I don’t like to go out to parties or clubbing, and I kind of like my anonymity. More people saw the pilot of Glee than saw me in my entire 10-year career on Broadway. But people feel more of a connection to you because they see you in their living rooms.”

Filed under Glee Episode Previews, Matthew Morrison, Videos by Rob on 15-10-2009

Here’s a preview of Matthew Morrison performing “Bust a Move” from next week’s episode, “Mash-Up” via Yahoo! TV.

Expect to find next week’s episode of “Glee,” titled “Mash-Up,” to be full of more outstanding musical performances, including a cover of Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” (performed by football jock Puck!) and even Sisqó’s one-hit wonder “Thong Song.” But in this episode, the spotlight is off the students and shining brightly on the Glee Club’s intrepid director, Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) — at least in this clip where he raps Young MC’s “Bust a Move,” showing the fellas how a leading man does it.

Matthew Morrison BearA teddy bear with a tag signed by Matthew Morrison is up for auction on ebay! The proceeds go to The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Here is what Lisa Spodak (LisaWalks.com) told us:

Every year I walk in The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer — a 2-day, 39.3 mile walk to raise money and awareness to fight breast cancer.

One of the ways I raise money is to ask celebrities to sign tags on little
breast cancer bears and auction them off along with a photo of the celebrity with a bear.

Right now, I have an auction for a bear signed by Matthew Morrison! There’s a photo attached and here’s the link:
