A segment on Italian TV talking about Giffoni and Darren.

Introduction: After Dianna Agron, Naya Rivera, and Lea Michele, this year’s Giffoni spotlight is on Darren Criss.

Girl #1: Darren Criss plays Blaine who is one the most positive characters of the show. He’s an out gay character and helps Kurt, who is one of the main characters and is being bullied.

Girl #2: I think Darren is an awesome singer.

Question for Darren: Now that Glee is over, do you miss your character?

Darren (more like the translator speaking over him): I miss the people I used to work with, but I don’t miss Blaine. Blaine is going to live forever on the dvds and online streaming. He’s not gone.

Question for Darren: You’re about to start filming in the Alps, in Italy, with Madalina Ghenea, what do you think about it?

Darren: I’m really excited. Every actor would like to work in beautiful locations. I’ve almost all over Italy, but I haven’t been there yet. It’s gonna be beautiful, as an artist and as a tourist, to see this part of the world. I haven’t met Madalina yet. But it’s cool to meet new people and visit new locations. What else can I ask for?

Darren: Hi, guys! Thank you for everything. Outside is crazy. You’re crazy, but… I like it.

*introduction*

Let’s start with Smitten!, the movie you are about to start shooting here in Italy. What can you tell us about the movie that is going to bring you back in the cinemas after Glee?

It’s gonna be a pleasant and nice comedy written and directed by a great artist such as Morrow. I’ll start shooting next week and I’ll play the part of a rich, shallow, American guy that will be kidnapped by Mafia. The criminal subtext is gonna be filtered by irony and by the way Hollywood sees Italy: a fantasy place where anything could happen to anybody, especially to the obtuse American guy that is my character and that maybe will change for good thanks to your passionate nature. I’ll be alongside Madalina Diana Ghenea, who I have already admired in Dom Hemingway with Jude Law.

You have lived in Italy already, haven’t you?

I’ve attented the Academia dell’Arte for six months in Arezzo and I love your Commedia dell’Arte and the musicality of your lenguage, which I would love to speak better and better.

You have just finished your Broadway run with the musical Hedwig And The Angry Inch, based on the famous show written by John Cameron Mitchell and then turned into a critically acclaimed movie in 2001. You played the lead as Hedwig. How was it?

It was a dream come true. You can’t speak with Shakespeare if you play Hamlet. I’ve spent so much time with my idol John Cameron Mitchell who has guided me step by step in my interpretation of one of the most famous characters in the contemporary American theater panorama. Working with him has been like playing with the Beatles. A unique privilege.

Why do you think Blaine Anderson has become a reference point and a representative for young gay kids in the United States and around the world?

It’s something that I’ve always found surprising. I think that he gave confidance to a lot of kids thanks to his confidence and his joie de vivre. Me being straight forced me to portrait his sexuality with concentration and sensitivity. Blaine has been a complete revolution for me. Before Glee, I’d always played characters with long hair and shabby manners. I think people have been struck by Blaine’s preppy elegance and grace. Not to mention his healthy self-esteem, which I think the gay audiance liked a lot.

Which are your best memories of Glee?

Chord Overstreet - maybe the coworker I’ve bonded the most with during my five years on Glee - and I, we had to sing a cover of Wake Me Up Before You Go Go by Wham. Unfortunately, the recording session was after a pretty animated night of the Oscars, we drank and we went to sleep at 3am. The session was at 7am. We were a wreck but we started singing it so hysterically that came out perfect at the end.
