Non-closeted 'Glee' star outed

19-year-old Chris Colfer plays gay on 'Glee.' He's also never denied being gay in real life. However, any remaining doubts about the young actor's sexuality were put to rest by late night talk show host Chelsea Handler, on Thursday.

“Your character is gay, and we know you're gay,” she said. 

“Don’t be shy about that, because there was all of that hubbub before,” she added, referring the controversy alleging Fox did not want Colfer to admit to being a homosexual in real life.

Colfer responded, "My answer to that question was, prior to coming out, that I was as straight as every other actor in Hollywood."

Countered Handler: "I don't know who you're referring to. I've never seen 'Valkyrie.'"

She couldn't be referring to Tom Cruise, could she?
