Chord Overstreet's Shocking Confession: $100K Playgirl Offer!

Chord Overstreet, best known for his role as Sam Evans on the hit TV show Glee, recently made a surprising revelation that left his former castmates stunned. During an appearance on Celebrity Weakest Link, hosted by fellow Glee alum Jane Lynch, Overstreet revealed he was once offered a substantial sum of money for a nude photoshoot.

The $100,000 Offer He Couldn't Refuse?

Lynch playfully brought up a “$100,000 offer,” prompting laughter and curiosity among the other Glee stars present, including Max Adler, Dot-Marie Jones, Alex Newell, Amber Riley, Becca Tobin, Jenna Ushkowitz, and Heather Morris. Overstreet then confessed, "I got asked to do a full-frontal spread in Playgirl."

The reaction was immediate and palpable. Lynch expressed disbelief, while Heather Morris, who played Overstreet’s on-screen girlfriend Brittany Pierce, jokingly said, “I love this for you.”

The Photoshoot and Its Aftermath

Overstreet elaborated that he did, in fact, shoot the spread. "We shot it, and the images were so…" he started to explain, before being interrupted by Lynch's exclamation of surprise. He further added that while he “pocketed the money,” his publicist ultimately pulled the photos from circulation due to their explicit nature. Despite this, the issue reportedly became Playgirl's biggest in terms of preorders and presales.

Lynch humorously challenged the audience to find the elusive photos, saying, “America, I’m giving you a task. This is your mission, should you choose to accept it. Find those Playgirls!”

This revelation highlights the pressures and opportunities that came with the immense popularity of Glee, and the choices its cast members faced as their careers skyrocketed. It also serves as a reminder of the lasting impact the show continues to have on its stars and its audience.
