We all know that Chris Colfer starred in Glee but did you know that he is an author now. In fact, he has released 18 books in just nine years.
However, after he finishes his next book, he is taking a break. He shared with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show yesterday why he is going to do that. He recently went to a bar, and there was a man hitting on him. While they were chatting, the man said that he enjoyed Colfer’s books as a kid.
The actor asked him how is that possible because the books only came out nine years ago. That is when the guy told him that he was 11 when he started reading his novels. After that, the 31-year-old decided he is going to take some time off. I guess he wants to put more of a distance between his age and his readers’ ages. Which totally makes sense.
What could he do with his time off? I am hoping he goes on the search for aliens. I love the way he described what it was like when he saw a UFO in Hollywood, most likely because his description was so sexual. Unlike his books.
Everyone loves that Luke Skywalker followed the light and didn’t go dark like his father. However, if the actor had his way, it would have been a different story.
Yesterday when the beloved actor was on The Tonight Show, he told Jimmy Fallon he went to George Lucas with that idea. “I pitched that to George because I thought that’s the way things were going in Empire [Strikes Back]. I’ve got the gloved hand, and I was dressed all in black,” he said. “But actually, George said, ‘No, it’s a fairytale for children. Luke is virtuous. He’s the good guy.'”
Do you wish Hamill got his way?
Now back to Luke’s severed hand, the actor also revealed something you didn’t know about it. In the original opening to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the movie was going to start off with the appendage floating in the air holding a lightsaber. Then when it hit the atmosphere, the skin and bones were supposed to melt away, leaving just the lightsaber to float into nothingness. That means he would have opened and closed the movie. However, it did not happen.
While Hamill is very fluent in Star Wars, the same cannot be said about his knowledge of two of the other roles that he plays. Those roles are The Joker and Skeletor. Watch him fail at answering those questions.
His getting those answers wrong made me adore him even more. Seriously, besides Darth Vader, who doesn’t love him?
Before Vin Diesel was Fast & Furious, he was slow breakdancing in How to Breakdance. How fresh was the 17-year-old in that 1984 in that instructional video?

Now that celebrities are doing interviews from their homes, some have come up with creative ways to make it more exciting. Helen Mirren topped them all. The Oscar winner did it from her bathtub wearing only bubbles.
However, there was just one problem. she told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show at the start of the interview, “I’m running out of bubbles.”
To see if she still had some by the end of their chat, then click here!
Lin-Manuel Miranda is promoting his movie In the Heights. It is a movie that never would have been had it not started out as a Broadway musical.
For the first time, Broadway needs him more than he needs it. Therefore, yesterday when he was on The Tonight Show, he and Jimmy Fallon paid tribute to the Great White Way returning in September.
So, the two men called their famous friends up, reworked Hamilton’s You’ll Be Back, and performed a song and dance number that is worthy, of well, Broadway. September can’t come soon enough.
