We know him as Sam Evans; the jock, the singer, the guitar player and all-around-nice guy. But what do we really know about Chord Overstreet, Glee's resident hunk?
DOB: February 17, 1989
Age: 22
Star sign: Aquarius
Hometown: Nashville, Tennesse, US
Who is he?
You have seen him in Glee, you may have spied him in iCarly or 2010's thriller The Hole, but there is a lot more to find out about this recently brunette boy.
Chord has grown up playing instruments. He started playing the mandolin first because he was "too small to play anything else". During his senior year at high school, Chord started writing his own music and although he is yet to be signed to any label, with a voice like his we're guessing it won't be long.
His eccentric name comes from his musical parents. "I was the third child born in my family, and there are three notes in a chord," Chord once said. "So that's how they came up with my name."
This sport-obsessed Nashville boy has often been spotted shirtless in Glee episodes (ah, duh!) and admits that he's comfortable with his body. "After about the 18th episode I was alright with it," he said. "It's in my contract."
Chord is also single (despite rumours he's romancing Taylor Swift) and revealed in a recent interview with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres that he is, in fact, "looking for a girlfriend". Take a number, ladies!
