Chris Colfer Doesn’t Want to Know What the Internet Thinks of Him

Specs Who Chris Colfer Age 24 Accomplishments Star of Fox’s Glee; screenwriter; author of The Land of Stories book series (his latest, A Grimm Warning, was just released) Base Los Angeles What’s the first information you consume in the morning?

If I’m lucky and I don’t find anything on my phone, I might sleep a little longer. Where do you get your news? I’m on the CNN app on my phone a lot.

No! When I first started Glee, and it was my first job ever, I did have a Google alert. That lasted probably four days. You don’t want to know everything that’s written about you on the Internet, and I learned that the hard way. What are your go-to social media platforms? I’m a big Instagrammer and tweeter. Basically, I just use them to post pictures of my cat and dog. Who are your favorite people to follow? For a long time, it was Rihanna. Her Instagram was just a gift. But honestly, I’m such a nerd—you know when people make accounts for their animals? I follow hundreds of people’s pets! There’s something about seeing animals in funny hats and bow ties that just brightens my whole day. What’s your favorite app? My favorite is the Starmap app where you hold your...
