Though in those gifs he's still polite toward paparazzis, it seems he just wanna get out from there. There are like flies surrounding him.

This is the first time I've seen paparazzi so close to him...it's kind of scary to see.

He looks so uncomfortable in some of them. But I have to say he really looks good when he's not smiling...

[FunnyLady]

Such a uncomfortable situation. I feel sorry for him. OK, he´s famous but he needs bit of personal space !!

[Divalicious]

As irritating as Chris probably finds the picture taking, weighing that with all he has accomplished, and will accomplish because of Glee fame, he probably finds it a very small cross to bear. Plus this is his barometer of how popular he is at this time, and obviously he is very popular. Fame will continue to allow Chris to pursue all his avenues of talent, acting, writing, and who knows, 10 years from now we will be reading about all of Chris' television shows that his production company, "Brian's Got Catnip" is involved with.

I love the idea of a production company. I have suggested this before. I think this is were Chris could be going in the future, as he seems to be more interested in creating his own characters.

"Brian's Got Catnip" love it.

I know by reading some of his interviews there are other screenplays he is writing. I would love it is a television show with him in one of the starring roles.

And this is happening before SBL even got released. The paparazzi situation would only become worse from here on, I'm afraid.

Where is his body guard though, I wonder?

You are absolutely right. Can´t imagine how he can handle this. I admire he stays so calm and polite. He´s perfect.

I was wondering the same, Where the hell is Hellboy??? Don't tell me it was his free day o.o lol

I guess at moments like this Chris goes to his 'happy place', as he once told Piers Morgan.

At least he handles it better than other celebrities, he isn't rude or lashes out. Chris is all class. Some older celebrities should use him as an example of how to handle paparazzi, even when they are pushy.

Chris does give them what I would term as death glares, but those are innocent enough and don't hurt anyone.

Early interviews before the book tour Chris did sound a bit jaded, when he said in one that he looked for affection in the wrong places. Probably meaning that not all stars in Hollywood are nice people. In later interviews he sounded like he was accepting that, then his last interviews he sounds like he is focussed and isn't caring what those sort of people think, with his comment about some didn't deserve being put on a pedestal.

I think this book tour gave him a lot to think about and I think he knows where he wants his career to go.

Chris Colfer Dishes on Glee Project Finale and Sarah Jessica Parker!

Just how awesome is Glee’s Chris Colfer?
So freakin’ awesome that he inspired Glee executive producer Ryan Murphy to create The Glee Project, which ends its second season tonight and features an appearance by the show’s inspiration himself! We chatted with Colfer about mentoring the final three contestants, Aylin Bayramoglu, Ali Stroker and Blake Jenner, and what fans can expect from the finale.
Plus, Colfer talks about the new season of Glee, which he is loving so far, filming in New York vs. Los Angeles, and his reaction when he found out Sarah Jessica Parker, who he has yet to work with, was playing his mentor (Hint: it had nothing to do with Sex and the City)…

How do you feel being chosen as a mentor and for such an important episode?
“I was so honored and um, what’s another word for honored? [Laughs.] I think I was honored and surprised that they chose me to do the finale. It’s so funny because all the contestants are either my age or older than me, so I really told myself when I go in there I’m not going to try to give them any advice because I’m sure the last thing they want to hear is advice from someone younger or their age. I’m just going to go in and tell them to do their own thing and figure it out along their way in their own careers. And I tell you, I got there and I wouldn’t shut up! [Laughs.] I did the absolute opposite of what I told myself I was going to do.”

Was mentoring harder or easier than you thought it would be?
“I don’t know if I really consider it mentoring. I kind of feel like they had to listen to me! [Laughs.] Because there were like cameras and it was my coverage of the mentor session. It was different. It was different.”

What was your impression of the final three when you met them?
“I thought they were very, very talented. I thought they could easily fit in with the show. I don’t know, the whole experience kind of took me back to my first Glee audition and the whole experience of auditioning in front of the producers and the creative team and then going for the network and the studio tests. It brought back a lot of anxiety. [Laughs.]”

So do you think you would have been able to do a show like this?
“Absolutely not! Absolutely not! No way. The first thing, I don’t know what they kept and what they didn’t, but the first thing I said to them when I walked in was I don’t know how you do this. I’m terrified and I’m not even competing.”
In a sneak peek that was released, it was revealed that your audition for Gleeinspired Ryan to create The Glee Project.

What does that mean to you? That’s a pretty big honor.
“I mean, it totally is. It’s such a huge honor and I mean that’s really special because I feel like if I inspired something that is giving kids a platform that is incredible.”

How do you think fans will react when the winner is revealed?
“I think they’ll be just fine with it! [Laughs.]”

Last year, Ryan surprised everyone by crowning two winners and giving the two runner-ups roles on Glee as well. Can we expect any surprises tonight?
“I believe maybe so. I was not there. I know who officially won, but I’m not sure about any other perks. I believe there are a couple twists coming.”

One of our favorite parts of the show is watching all of the contestants freak out whenever a Glee star comes into the room. What was that like for you?
“Well, I honestly have never really seen much of the show, so I really didn’t know what to expect. That totally threw me off. It’s so funny because you go into these things and you repeat to yourself keep calm, keep calm. Be cool. Be cool. And then you walk into the room and they lose it and then you lose it and then you look like an idiot and you’re so awkward. So it was an experience!”

Be honest: did you have the same reaction when Ryan told you Sarah Jessica Parker would be playing your mentor on Glee?
“Oh yeah, absolutely! I kind of did, about the same, I’d say. I was really excited. I mean, it’s like people immediately relate her to Sex and the City, but I relate her immediately to Hocus Pocus! [Laughs.] I was like, ‘No way, no way. The hot witch from Hocus Pocus! Yes, yes!’”

How does it feel to be filming in New York now as opposed to L.A., where you filmed the first three seasons?
“It’s crazy. It’s really crazy because I feel like whenever we’re in New York it becomes like a huge spectacle and a thing. We’ll go film in L.A. and no one cares. It’s such a different world out here.”

We know that season four is going to have a bit of a change in the show’s format. How seamless is the change?
“I kind of love it. I personally love it. I think it adds a lot to the show and of course it adds locations. I think it adds a whole new level of the performing arts community onto the show.”

I could be wrong but there are hints here that maybe Kurt is going to be apart of some performing acts thing.

Chris obviously knows Kurt's storyline now and if he is having fun then there must be fun times for Kurt this season.

[fantastica]

I think he meant the NYADA gangs.

^ this is sooo sweet! I am glad they brought back the losers (lol) to the finale so everybody will get to meet Chris. Abe was my fav simply because he was a huge chris fan.

How sweet :D I'm glad everybody had the chance to meet Chris. Specially this boy, still remember when he said so excited "Chris Colfer wrote a book"

[fantastica]

I so ship chris and abe! chris remembers his earlier tweet it seems. and good luck to that young man to make it in the entertainment biz and one day work w/ chris. at least he's inspired.

Abraham must have fainted after read that, ok maybe he didn't but I hope his wish of working with Chris comes true just as happened when he met him.

With Chris telling him this gives him a goal to strive for so it should encourage him to get proper acting lessons.

You never know down the track Chris could cast him in one of his films or show or whatever. He did put two of his teachers in SBL.

I feel when Chris calls another male sir it is a mark of respect. So I think Abraham has earned Chris's respect.

[Delight]

I am glad that they've allowed all the TGP contestants to reunite in the last episode and that Abraham got to meet Chris in person. It's a pity that he didn't get to have a private mentoring session with Chris. However, I have a feeling that he'd be so distracted by Chris that he wouldn't be able to focus on what Chris is saying if it happened

Yes, Abraham, we agree with you. Chris really is a beautiful person

Wouldn't we all have that same problem, though?

Abraham is one of us.
