Matthew Morrison: 'Paltrow romance rumours crazy'
Matthew Morrison brands claims that he is romantically involved with Gwyneth Paltrow "ridiculous".
Matthew Morrison has rubbished reports that he is romantically involved with frequent Glee guest star Gwyneth Paltrow.
Speaking to USA Today, the actor expressed frustration that a recent lunch with Paltrow led to rumours that they were on a romantic rendezvous.
"It's ridiculous," he said. "We have become friends, and now it's almost like I feel awkward going to dinner with her, because then it's something else. I was in London recently and we had dinner, and suddenly it's a big thing."
He was also recently forced to deny speculation that he is actively looking for ways to get out his Glee contract.
While admitting that he developed a reputation during his time on Broadway as "the first to leave the show", Morrison insisted that releasing his debut solo LP and pursuing other projects does not mean that he wants to move on from the Fox series.
"I'm an actor, and I want a good place where I get to express myself," he said. "This is an amazing opportunity, but at the same time, I'm dying to do something else to feed me artistically."
Morrison's self-titled album is now available for purchase in the US and will be released on May 30 in the UK.
Glee continues with new episode 'Funeral' on Tuesday at 8pm ET/7pm CT on Fox.
