OUCH; talk about awkward. Glee star Chris Colfer has admitted to celebrity television show Access Hollywood that he wasn’t aware he was leaving the Fox series after its third season until he read the news on Twitter.
Asked how he found out that he would be exiting, Colfer said: “Yesterday on Twitter ... Yeah, I found out that they made that announcement. I didn’t necessarily know that it was going to be our last season next year. I knew something like that was coming up. I mean, we can’t be there forever.”
Glee creator Ryan Murphy told the Hollywood Reporter that Colfer, along with Lea Michele and Cory Monteith, would be written off the show at the end of season three, noting that the series’ timeline dictates that they would be graduating from high school at that point.
Despite the unconventional way he found out about his impending goodbye, Colfer is taking the axing in his stride.
“I don’t necessarily want to leave so soon, but I mean, it’s fine,” he said. “It is what it is. And all things come to an end eventually.”
Murphy had no comment. Fox, as well as representatives for Michele and Monteith, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
