SPOT.ph video: Darren Criss in Manila

[99wabby]

Did anybody else notice an accent more here?...Or just an accent period? Cuz just when I thought he couldn't get any sexier...

[28AngelRox]

I'm proud to be part Fillipino! :)

[ScouseStarKid]

The way american people say their 'mom' but Darren calls her his 'mum' HE JUST MELTS ME

[TheHaley33]

Darren is sick, and his voice is so HOT!

[jdivina15]

i didn't see him here in the philippines, but i asked my dad if we could go to new york to see him on broadway, he said yes, and now i am lactating with so much excitement

[peanutbutterswirl]

Why couldn't the sailor cross the ocean? Because it was tubig! har har 

[systematichoney]

[trey7882]

[chelseacutey305]

filipino foods and HIM! are two of the reasons that i'am proud to be filipino.... *INSIPRED... XD

[calliecookie2349]

[itsAshleighAR]

@calliecookie2349 "Darren, eat; You're so thin, eat."

[calliecookie2349]

[XxMadAboutPotterxX]

Wait, where'd that accent come from? It's freaking awesome!

[guitarsea003]

[LuisaLuvzYew]

him and filipino food are the only two reasons i'm proud to be one.

...okay fine, the omnipresent tan and glossy asian hair are kinda nice too but still.

[adriennedrichey]

the accent gets more and more prominent in his speech as the interview goes along and just omg let me die

[littlemissstarkid]

@lost686girl. Name one. Right here, in front of everyone. Name one other word aside from supermegafoxyawesomehot that can be used. ;)

[jenjiy]

I love this guy with every interview and picture I watch and see more. How is this possible??!

[lost686girl]

@SparkieXDog

ACTUALLY THERE ARE OTHER WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS

[PuckleberryFaberry]

omg he loves bibingka....that right there...that makes him perfect for me.... lol.

[historyfreak17]

Oh my gosh! I almost forgot that Darren's part Filipino! How could I when it's something we have in common?!?! Proud Filipino-American! Is it weird that I have this fantasy where he gets invited to dinner at my house and my grandpa cooks sinigang and it's just amazing?

[123kiakia]

@historyfreak17 yumm sinigang cant wait till he comes bak :)

[andastarisborn]

He makes filipino foods sound so sexy...oh god i think im pregnant now...

[FutureActressKS]

[LoopyPeoplezz1]

..... My mom had a great uncle or something that was Filipino... Other than that, I'm Cuban, like, up the ass.

[joelliepellie]

That accent DAMN to hot

[bagitandbinit]

i love how he starts a sentence in english and ends up speaking in fillipino... is that what the language is called?

[PerformingGuru]

@bagitandbinit its called tagalog

[csix0xluverx0x]

i love being part filipino now <3

[Crazy4lyrics1]

Pinoy PRiiiideeee!!!! im proud to be filipino!!!

[aznzensation]

I am in luuuurv

[AbulicamenteMe]

I imagined the scene of his family forcing him to eat. "YOU'RE SO THIN! EAT!"

And him in the corner of the table with his puppy face who fills up his plate even if he's full, just to not disappoint them.

I am crazy, but this picture came up to my mind instantly.

Anyway, I love hearing him speaking Filipino! ;)

[lolgurl4life34]

I can hear his accent SO HOT love it he's so sexy when he speaks :)

[Lovexvampirexdiaries]

I am so proud to be filo <3 aahh LOVE DARREN CRISS!!

[MsSillyLoveSong]

[samnicole244]

[xEdwardAnthonyMasenx]

[ticket0ride]

WHERE DID THIS ACCENT COME FROM.

[EleanorRose147]

Poorly Darren. :( Cuddles!!!

[pleber410]

I love how his accent's different in this. Everytime I noticed whenever I speak Taglish, I get a slight Filipino accent when speaking English too, it's kinda funny that that happens to him too :p lol

[icclenomi]

@pleber410 I do that with Chinese when I go back to Hong Kong (I'm half Chinese ) its a strange phenomenon :)

[princesslizzie120]

He sounds so sick :(

[FlysWithFawkes]

THEY WAY HE'S SITTING. I JUST CAN'T.

[alzearuie]

[rubberd0512]

Yes Darren, and your fans are telling you "Darren, sleep! You're so tired." seriously Darren, I love you, but even wizards need to sleep.

[jamminerz]

LOVE. High five for the correct pronunciation

[TheStormyWeatherGirl]

@jamminerz isn't it refreshing to hear a famous half pinoy pronounce filipino words well? (not just for amazing the reporters or the filipino fans.) it's like, natural. :D

[alyssamurillo]

Darren, represent!! :)

[dennielleflorelee]

I was soo happy he was part Filipino!!!

PILIPINOES HAB SOLS.

Darren proves this. :)

[DarrenCrissv3]

@TheJan322 That's in Canada!!! ;)

[Shurtugal781226]

It doesn't matter what he's saying, as long as he's talking and moving I could stare at him all day.

[TheJan322]

I can cook filiipino food. Come over to Winnipeg and I'll cook for you!!

[anotherdramaqueen95]

I'm half filipina, he's half filipino..... What else do I have to say?

[LiveLaughLove895]

he needs to marry me now.

[redtag13]

I love how he says "lumpia"

[inkfantasy]

....sadly, he's pretty white washed :(

[m4giceyetr1x]

are you sure he's not gay? he sure acts like it..

[peaceLUVbarbies]

@m4giceyetr1x Uh gay isn't an attitude. I know there's a gay stereotype but there isn't just one way that gay people act...

[awagamgnalaw]

darren eet! yor so teen!

[gemstones44]

he's hot a filipino nose, no doubt, rep it darren ! :)

[fzmkl1]

ang daldal nya! hahahaha



[Emosoragurl21]

Haha it's really funny how his parents and aunts and uncles are just like mine when they say "You're so thin! Eat eat!" :D

And when he used his little accent... uggh... I wish I was his girlfriend. <3

[MessiahPiper]

i sooooo lurve him!!! :)

[TheSugaryProductions]

OH MY GOD ahajkf hes just too amazing <3

[xXJMuNiCoRNXx]

Haha my aunts and uncles make me eat alot too :P

[jabbafied3adriel]

I guess it's true what they say, no matter what other nationality you are besides from being Filipino, or you were born and raised somewhere else yet still Pinoy, there's always that pride of being a Filipino. :) Love it.

[kkalenaaa]

Hahahahaha "Darren eatttt!" omg I love him <3

[fashionnightmare12]

I love how he says Aunt in the english way, not the american way when i always get confused thinking that they're talking about their bug :S

[krisntara]

OH MY GOD. i knew he was part filipino. but this is the first time I'm seeing this. i just fell in love.

[heartbreaker23jojo]

I'm falling in love with him more and more... his half and im full filipino...damn its a match!!! I'll learn to cook just for him.

[jacksparrow14]

he seems a very smart guy

[jacksparrow14]

hahahah! he is funny! i like him

[ussabrefencer07]

Darren, when we have kids, they'll be the most spoiled children alive. You with your Filipino foods and me with my Croatian and Macedonian and Argentinian foods, they'll be the happiest, well-fed children ever! Plus, extremely talented and supermegafoxyawesomehot:) and articulate.

[sakuraharuno1497]

"Lumpia, pancit, bibingka, adobo" - Unbelievable how he says it correctly. <3

[idonthaveausername18]

I love it when he's imitating his uncle. "Darren eet, yur so tin!" hahaha

[lost686girl]

OMG HE CALL'S HIM MOM "MUM"??? DEAD.

[SilverWings92]

I should not be watching this in public. Him putting the accents on his words and things just about killed me in the best way possible.

Also, I'm pretty sure it is impossible for ANYONE on Earth to hate him. He is so unbelievably kind and humble and *incredibly* well-spoken.

[TheGentlemanCaller88]

HE'S HAPA! WOOT! We're very proud to have him. :)

[shesgotwhatittakes]

I'm not even Filipino and I still find this incredibly wonderful

[elven678]

VOTE FOR DARREN FOR E!'s ALPHA MALE OF THE YEAR!

eonline.com/uberblog/watch_wit­h_kristin/b234757_alpha_male_m­adness_2011_time_final.html

[Sent4Good]

I'm half Filipino too! xD

[tric430]

He half filipino....THAT'S TOTALLY AWESOME!! I'm full blooded filipino, and his accent is better than mines lol. I love how he states that even though he doesn't have the greatest connection to his culture, he still has a high respect for it. We need more ppl like him in this world!!!!

[25butterbeers]

OMG the slight Filipino accent, listing all the foods, just holy mother of BAM PREGNANT. Just wow.

[crazystarhunter]

i'm dying here! i adore his accent. im watching a very potter sequel right now and its just....whoa, wow, holy crap!

[saucypedanticwench]

love how his accent gets closer to the way the interviewer is talking.. what's that called? When you unconsciously match the speaking style of the person you are talking to..? it has a name...

[YukiKyoTohru]

@saucypedanticwench Convergence :)

[saucypedanticwench]

@YukiKyoTohru nice! thanks! :)

[xAlmightyxArielx]

his accent came back. thats pretty freakin sexy!!

[TheLoganwade]

he's ethnic too-3 i just died, completely deceased, i'm dead. (KISS OF LIFE, YOU ETHNIC SEXY BEAST!! :))

[singingstar56]

darren speaking filipino....dead.

[onlyfarfaraway]

Ahhh I'm a half too' he does a better imitation of the Filipino accent than I do :O melts.

[aleeshaRoom101]

ASIANNN

^^

[charamel399]

I LOOOOOOVE HIM OMGG<3 ANOTHER AMAZING THING ABOUT HIM IS BEING HALF-FILIPINO

[bronzedflames]

HE'S SO HAAWWT!! DARREN, I'M FILIPINO TOO!!! xD

[jminforeverxo]

OMG. I LOVE HIM EVEN MORE NOW FOR FINDING OUT THAT HE'S FILO.

<33333333333

SUPERMEGAFOXYAWESOMEHOT IS DARREN CRISS.

[zehaha]

my mum.... :D

[tametan]

i guess he lost some weight like look at his arms compared to how he was on avpm.

i totally understand why his tita's were all "DARREEEN EET! YOU SO TIN! EET!"

[crazychubba]

cool guy. Very eloquent and deep. I'm pretty sure he gave a lot of Filipinos "nosebleed" lol!!!

[aprlshowers]

Gosh when I found out he was half filipino I just died. I love Filipinos, it just makes sense now. And he said they used adobo... YES! -3

[xXBabyEsraXx]

I LOVE how he has an accent here. I only speak a bit of tagalog but whenever I go to the Philippines or talk to my grandparents I grow one.

[ilovejda1]

i cannot believe that he is filipino! i'm usually good at noticing half asians or people mixed with asian, but i literally just assumed he was some kind of white or white mixed with some latin! but then again he was spanish blood in him from his mother's side. i love him, he's too too cute and adorable and his singing and dancing... sigh... <3 i'm so excited that he's down with his asian side! knows all about his food and is around his family a lot! aw, i just love him lol

[peacelovedance14]

wait, what was he saying at :28? I would love a translation...

[ilovejda1]

@peacelovedance14 he says, "i want my lumpia (filipino eggrolls), pancit (filipino noodle dish), cassava cake (filipino dessert), bibinka (filiipino sticky rice dessert/snack), adobo (filipino stew)...I have my warm cala--, well not anymore i drank it all, my warm calamansi (filipino lemon, so lemon juice)," :)

[peacelovedance14]

OH MY ROWLING. He said "mum." I thought I was the only American person who said that xD

[lodleyoo16]

@peacelovedance14 nope. i say it too! and now i'm never gonna stop cause darren says it!!! :D

[ameygirl323]

@peacelovedance14 haha nope! I say "mum" too... haha now I can do it with pride xP

[hermioneronlover]

@peacelovedance14 I'm from the UK, so I'm probably missing something here but do Americans not say 'mum'?

[GacktSyndrome]

@hermioneronlover Americans usually say mum like mom :)

[alyssamae4]

0:28 Hottest. Thing. Evar.

[ussabrefencer07]

@alyssamae4 GOD! I know, right?! I was like "....DARREN WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO DAMN PERFECT?!"

[blink182fanxx]

The lady in the background is like, "Who the hell is that?" 

[Acoontey]

CAN'T BELIEVE HE IS FILIPINO!!! Omg!!! I want to look like him!

[Camil90]

ahahaha that tagalog accent was perfect :D ahahah

[undersomestairs]

We are both half Filipino, half American. I'm not about to explode with excitement over here or anything.

[fawkes494]

I love that he can say Filipino words with very minimal American accent. He said lumpia, pancit, and adobo quite well. :D

Oh, and the "Darren, eat! You're so tin! Eat!" with the Pinoy accent was sooo on spot, I can't even! Lol! :D

[ghostxxxrebirth]

He said "Mum" and I died.

[fudgeyou143]

OMG I KNEW HE WAS HALF FILIPINO!!!<3<3<3

DARREN CRISS GWAFUUHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TaylorMorgan3318]

haha he sounds like he slips into an accent every once in a while after he got done say all the food he said i love and it sounded like he had an accent on it lol so cute!

[SuperDonkeyBrain]

Whoa whoa what is with the negativity in this comment page? I think everyone should just calm down and check this man on skateboard that I just made O-K8. Can u see it? :)

[natashaheisenburg]

LUMPIA. LUMPIA. LUMPIA. I can listen to the way he says LUMPIA all day. It so adorable. :))

[MsDeathguardian]

So his mom is a Cebuano, I wonder if he knew for a fact that mostly the greatest singers in the Philippines are Cebuanos, maybe thats how he got soo much talent

[jkitty33]

I seriously wanna eat Filipino food with this guy :)

[sarahnicole32]

It's amazing to see how much Darren values his family and their origins

[bruschi54kg5mannny24]

proud pinoy... dats awesome !

[MsDeathguardian]

amazing he can pronounce Filipino words perfectly, unlike others who are pure breed Filipinos who just migrated to other county forgets their native language. Good job for his relatives and mum (its mum coz he's half irish too) for keeping him in touch of his Filipino side.

[jethrospec]

thin is healthy? fuck!!! it's not healthy at all. even fat is not healthy. SEXY is healthy. i conclude that darren is sexy healthy person.

[asyarihahaha]

I don't even understand what he said but it's sexy!

[phisnot]

@Zeroxify13 you're such a f****** ignorant asshole..reading your comments makes me laugh so hard.i pity you

[kajalrox96]

omg he said mum instead of mom

or is it just because he's sick?

[JustJaclyn5]

He sounds different in this interview. He is probably sick

[joejonas183]

my mum <3 0:46

[melovemesa]

Did Darren Criss use the right word for throat when he was talking about the drink? I know there is some debate about that in the comments.

[artmamamd]

@melovemesa yes, he did use the right word--- "panlalamunan" meaning "for the throat"--- pointing to the "kalamansi" juice he is drinking to soothe his sore throat....kind of endearing he knows some Tagalog

[chainsnroses1193]

Ahh Darren. :D <3

Man, I wanna be in the Philippines... I miss it so much. Lucky duck.

[n0izky]

Darren you are just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! very natural!!!!:D

[NoSleepTilSummertime]

Mahal kita, Darren. haha.

I'm half Filipino, too, but I think he probably knows more tagalog than me. x)

[mackconnelly101]

"Darren Eat! you so tin! Eat!" Ahaha is it bad that I can't stop replaying that? XD

[kyoshix3]

Heheh ^-^ his Filipino accent comes out in this interview! Cute!

[radioraver]

I'm not even remotely Asian, but I think it's adorable that Darren is half Filipino. :)

[nicellheejae]

His mom is Cebuano? Sweet!

[mucikalmonkee]

But seriously though. Darren is surprisingly thin. When I was talking to him I was thinking "Dude needs to eat."

[eileenlovesmusic]

I LOVE YOU MORE

To those unfamiliar with Filipino food: Lumpia (thin eggroll w/ seasoned ground meat filling), Pansit (sauteed rice noodles usually w/ chicken, shrimps, veggies), Cassava cake (grated cassava cooked with butter, sugar, milk), Bibingka (traditionally banana leaf-lined, charcoal-baked rice flour cake topp
