MTV News intervied actor Max Adler, who plays Glee bully Dave Karovsky, the football player who gave Kurt Hummel his first kiss on last week’s episode.

Says Adler:

I got the script, and I was reading that scene, and Kurt, he just doesn’t let up. He keeps on me and he keeps on me, and I thought, ‘I’m going to punch him in the face. This is getting serious.’ And then I turn the page, and it says: ‘Karovsky kisses Kurt.’ And I was like, ‘What?’ I jumped off the couch. I was as shocked as anybody else was. It was totally unexpected.”

Max added that it wasn’t only Kurt’s first gay kiss but also his.: “So, yeah, first time I’ve kissed a guy, and I’m glad it was Chris Colfer!”
