@DamianMcginty’s interview with The Huffington Post.

Because your character is living with Brittany, you’ve been spending a lot of time with Heather Morris. What has that been like?
Heather is incredible. My very first scene that I ever did on “Glee” was with Heather, and she was just so welcoming. I feel like Heather is the smart version of Brittany. She just has some incredible one-liners. She’s one of the funniest girls I’ve ever met. And of course, she’s gorgeous, so that always helps.
Heather is also an incredible dancer, and I know that you’re not a very good dancer. So has she given you any tips?
She hasn’t yet! But now that you’ve mentioned it to me, I might go onto set tomorrow and ask her for a tip. There hasn’t been a Rory and Brittany scene where she teaches him how to dance. I don’t think that there will be a happy ending to that story. Trust me, I got over the fact a very long time ago that I can’t dance, and I never will be able to dance. I just blame it on Rory now. I say, “Listen guys, Rory can’t dance, so I really can’t show off my true dancing skills.”
You’ve also had a few scary scenes with Naya Rivera, who plays Santana.
Now, Naya, she’s amazing, but she really scares me sometimes. I’ve done a lot of scenes with Naya, and every last one of them is terrifying.
Has anyone in the cast had trouble understanding your accent?
It’s been a pretty smooth ride with my accent, but there is one person who doesn’t quite understand me. I don’t know if she does this on purpose, but it’s pretty funny. Lea literally, after everything I say, will look at me like I have three heads. She just does not understand anything I say. It’s very funny. I think I have to repeat everything twice to Lea. Other than that, it’s been pretty smooth, which I totally didn’t expect.

So, we’re all a little obsessed with Glee’s newest heartthrob Damian McGinty. And here’s why… via his interview with AOL TV.
1. Lea Michele doesn’t understand him!
“It’s been a pretty smooth ride with my accent, but there is one person who doesn’t quite understand me. I don’t know if she does this on purpose, but it’s pretty funny. Lea literally, after everything I say, will look at me like I have three heads. She just does not understand anything I say. It’s very funny. I think I have to repeat everything twice to Lea. Other than that, it’s been pretty smooth, which I totally didn’t expect.”
2. He’s BFFs with Heather Morris — but he’s actually afraid of Naya Rivera
“My very first scene that I ever did on ‘Glee’ was with Heather, and she was just so welcoming. I feel like Heather is the smart version of Brittany. She just has some incredible one-liners. She’s one of the funniest girls I’ve ever met. Now, Naya, she’s amazing, but she really scares me sometimes. I’ve done a lot of scenes with Naya, and every last one of them is terrifying.”

Okay guys, I’m interviewing Damian this week, so please message me your questions! His premiere episode of ‘Glee’ airs Nov. 1.
Who’s psyched?! (I totally am!)
And your life is also changing too. You have to move thousands of miles away from home. Now that you have to find a place in Los Angeles, are those rumors of you and Cameron moving in together true?
That is so true. We’re going to be roommates! The guys at “Glee” are actually trying to set us up with an apartment at the moment. We’re going to be close to Paramount Studios because I don’t drive, and I can’t rent a car here because I’m only 18. It’s so ridiculous. So I’m just going to get a bicycle or something.
So “The Glee Project” winner needs a bicycle to get to work?
Exactly! That’s no joke. I wish I was kidding, but I’m not! So yeah, they’re trying to get an apartment for us, and we’ll plan up until around Christmas time—we’ll see what happens and how both of our careers are going. I don’t want to be a flash in a pan who only gets seven episodes. Obviously, I’m thrilled with seven episodes, of course, but when you get this chance, you don’t want to let it go. I want to grasp this with both hands, and I’m going to work hard.
