Gleeks, rise! The Hummels are again.
Chris Colfer reunited with his display screen dad, Mike O’Malley, in an opportunity encounter at an airport on Thursday.
“At all times love operating into household at the airport!” Colfer wrote on Threads, with a heartwarming photograph of the actors who previously portrayed Glee‘s Kurt and Burt Hummel embracing. As if again in character, Colfer sported an enormous smile, whereas O’Malley pointed his finger at Colfer in delight with a poker face.
“Love ya, Dad!” Colfer wrote.
It has been 10 years since Glee graced TV screens. The camp, comedian, but typically tragic look at the disparate members of a highschool glee membership ran on Fox for six seasons, from 2009-2015.
Colfer performed Kurt Hummel throughout the sequence run. Hummel was a trailblazing character, an initially troubled, closeted younger singer who progressively comes out of his shell, embraces his queerness, and turns into one half of the enduringly beloved display screen couple “Klaine” with Darren Criss’ Blaine Anderson.
One in all Kurt’s most touching storylines revolved round his relationship with his father, the stereotypically football-loving, car-repairing robust man Burt, performed by O’Malley. Whereas Burt initially tries to suppress a few of Kurt’s extra visibly queer attributes, he learns to simply accept his son, finally turning into one among his most enthusiastic supporters.
Glee typically spurred spirited discourse and will divide critics, but it surely was all the time an awards darling. Colfer and O’Malley have been each nominated for Emmys for his or her work, and Colfer finally received a Golden Globe for Greatest Supporting Actor in a Collection, Miniseries or Tv Movie in 2011.
