Glee's Matthew Morrison cringes over gay clip

 

Glee star Matthew Morrison,  the Shuemister himself was left blushing and red faced over clips shown on the Jay Leno late night chat show.

The actor, who plays teacher Will Schuester on the hit show,  had a bit part in Marci X - a 2003 flop starring Lisa Kudrow and Damon Wayans.   Morrison cringed as the American talk show host played a bit of the film,  showing Morrison in his gayest role to date.

 Having a laugh: Glee's Matthew Morrison appeared on Jay Leno's show last night

'I can't believe you are doing this to me right now,' said Morrison.

'It was the gayest thing I have ever done in my life, literally, I was in a gay boy band called Boys R Us.'

The clip showed Morrison and members of the gay boy band holding hands and their crotches.

However not everyone is happy,  “This is stereotypical behaviour, ridiculing gay people, as an actor playing gay is reason to be ridiculed.  It may be a joke,  but it’s still a form of homophobia,  and no matter how light hearted,  homophobia still hurts”  said one upset viewer.
