Michael Urie: I love Manilow
Michael Urie The 30-year-old actor is best known for playing Marc St. James, the flamboyant personal assistant in hit US comedy series Ugly Betty about life at a trendy fashion magazine.
Michael has been happily dating fellow actor Ryan Spahn for two years now, although he admits to having a rather unsurprising celebrity crush.
“Barry Manilow,” replied the star when asked by Closer magazine who he found attractive in the public eye.
Michael says he has a penchant for the 67-year-old American singer, who is famous for his hits such as Mandy and Copacabana (At the Copa), and hopes to see him top the charts again soon.
“I’m really promoting him today. I’m trying to get his album to the top of the charts,” laughed Michael.
The star admits he can never resist hitting the dance floor when Barry’s hits come on, and he always buys tickets whenever Barry’s in concert. Michael understands that his revelation may not place him high in the style stakes, but he doesn’t care that liking Barry isn’t considered to be cool.
“Barry Manilow can always get me going. I’ve seen him in concerts many times and I love him! I’ve been told it’s fairly cheesy to like him, but he always gets me up on the dance floor,” beamed the actor.
