(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Cory Monteith would be best friends with Sue Sylvester if he was at school now.

The 28-year-old star portrays Finn Hudson in Glee, the American television series about a group of high school students who bond over their love of singing. Sue, played by Jane Lynch, is the acerbic cheerleading coach whose constant putdowns and ribbing of glee club coach Will Schuester have won her fans across the globe.

Although Sue is mean, Cory says she has one special talent which would make her perfect friend material. Sue Sylvester, he replied, when asked which character hed buddy up with at school. If I wanted a date with one of the cheerleaders? Snap, shed set that up for you.

Corys castmates Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele are both renowned for their voices, and he cant believe he was picked to star alongside them. He isnt overawed though, instead viewing it as a way to broaden his talents.

Its been a great opportunity to learn how to sing and dance, he told Look magazine. Ive never done anything like this before. It has also been a challenge performing with seasoned Broadway performers next to me. (C) Cover Media
