Glee” newcomer Grant Gustin: “a new kind of gay character”!

 

On next week’s episode of Glee, a new Dalton Academy Warbler by the name of Sebastian will do his best to shake up the Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine relationship by making a play for Blaine (Darren Criss).


The homewrecker is being played by Grant Gustin who talked to Billboard Magazine a bit about his character who sounds like quite a piece of work!

“Sebastian is new to Dalton,” he explains.

“He’s a gay character, obviously, but he’s kind of a new type of gay character. He’s someone you wouldn’t necessarily know is gay unless you asked him, but he’d be the first person to tell you. He’s very confident and comfortable with who he is and what he wants. Darren was that new confident strong gay character, and Sebastian is taking that a step further. He’s a guys-guy, just a dude who happens to be gay. He’s a lacrosse player, he’s popular. He’s after Blaine, obviously, and he’s also trying to take the place that Blaine had as the leader of the Warblers. He’s been referred to as a villain, which I guess is true in the sense that he’s going to get what he wants and he doesn’t care who he steps on along the way, but he does so with a smile on his face.
