Chris Colfer finds fan fiction written about him too "terrifying" to read.
The 'Glee' star knows there is a group of female fans of the show who obsess about it, but he tries to steer clear of some of their wilder imaginings of what his character, Kurt Hummel, could get up to which they publish online.
He told USA Today newspaper: "A lot of the (TV) audience think Glee is a documentary. There's a very select group of young girls that really want everything to be real.
"I don't look at [fan fiction], because it's terrifying. It's scary. I just. I can't. I learned that the hard way.
"I don't mind them writing about the character, but when they write about [the Glee actors] doing things with each other, it's just uncomfortable."
Chris, 24, has also recently fallen foul of a hacker, who managed to hijack his Twitter account and leave fans devastated by tweeting that Chris wouldn't be appearing in the show's final series next year, while he was on a long-haul flight.
Speaking of the incident, he said: "Whoever this A-hole was that did this knew that I was going to be on this plane and I couldn't be reached. So as soon as I landed, my phone just exploded."

Brian Wilson is working with Lana Del Rey and Zooey Deschanel on new songs.
The legendary Beach Boys singer and composer had started writing material to record with the group before he and fellow founding member Al Jardine were ousted in 2012 by Mike Love, so he has turned to other vocalists to help him complete the songs.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: "It was a shock. I was so proud of how the Boys were singing. Then it just ended. I was writing for the Boys, so I thought, 'What am I gonna do without them?' "
Singers recruited by Brian also include Kacey Musgraves, Frank Ocean and Fun's Nate Ruess, whom he says "sounds a little like my brother Carl."
The centrepiece of the album is set to be the track featuring Lana, which is about the way The Beach Boys broke up.
Co-producer of the album, Joe Thomas said: "It started out being about lost love. But after the tour fell apart it became more about a missed opportunity for Brian and the guys to ride into the sunset together."
There are currently two versions of the song recorded, one with Lana on lead vocals and another with Brian singing the main vocal line.

The actor is a huge fan of the TV series and had asked screenwriter and personally asked director Ryan Murphy if there was any way he could be included.
He recently said: "I wrote a letter to Ryan, asking if I could be in it. And he didn't respond."
However, Ryan has now written back, saying he has already started work on a role for the former 'How I Met Your Mother' star into the show.
He wrote on Twitter: "@ActuallyNPH of course you can be on Freak Show! I have a role I think you'd love."

The 'She Makes Me Wanna' singer and his girlfriend Aimee Jade Azari announced their happy news by posting a photo of them together on Twitter, where she can be seen clutching her heavily pregnant stomach.
Aimee captioned the picture: "Xxxxx @Oritse and our lil legend xxx love u (sic)"
Oritsé's former bandmate Marvin Humes was quick to send his well wishes.
He tweeted: "Huge congrats to @Oritse and @AJAzari the Williams baby is on the way!!! Very excited for you both! Big love.(sic)"

Kim Kardashian thinks Kanye West looks "so sexy" on the cover of GQ magazine.
The reality TV star's rapper husband graces the cover of the men's fashion and lifestyle magazine's August edition for Australia, wearing a beige jacket and a white T-shirt with a gold chain around his neck and bearing a quizzical look on his face.
Kim posted a picture of the cover on Instagram and wrote alongside it: "So sexy! My husband on the cover of GQ shot by Patrick Demarchelier!!! (sic)"
Kanye will no doubt be pleased with landing the cover, as he has long been a fashionista, completing an internship at Italian fashion brand Fendi in 2009, designing his own Nike Air Yeezy II line of trainers and releasing a clothing collection with French brand A.P.C.
However, his relationship with the industry has at times been rocky, and he has previously said his track 'I Am A God' was a direct reaction to being invited to a show at Paris Fashion Week in 2012, but only on the condition he wouldn't appear at any other fashion shows that week.
He said: "So the next day I went to the studio with Daft Punk, and I wrote 'I Am a God'. Because it's like, 'Yo! Nobody can tell me where I can and can't go. Man, I'm the number one living and breathing rock star.
"I am Axl Rose; I am Jim Morrison; I am Jimi Hendrix. You can't say that you love music and then say that Kanye West can't come to your show!
"To even think they could tell me where I could and couldn't go is just ludicrous. It's blasphemous - to rock 'n' roll, and to music."

Prince Harry has been spotted getting "very cosy" with a new woman.
The young royal has been single for two months since splitting with socialite Cressida Bonas, but appeared to be enjoying the company of charity worker Camilla Thurlow, 25, at Tonteria nightclub in London.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "They looked very cosy and kissed more than once. But they are not serious in any way. They're just two young people having a good time."
Harry was at the club, owned by his friend Guy Pelly, with friends and although he and Camilla - a former Miss Edinburgh - appeared to be having a good time, the friend doesn't think a full romance is on the cards.
The source added: "It's probably unlikely they will see each other again - they are both very busy."
Coincidentally, Camilla works for The Halo Trust, a mine clearance charity which Harry's mother, Princess Diana, was heavily involved with.
The royal has also reportedly been in contact with another of his rumoured old flames, Caroline Flack, since his split from Cressida.
A source previously said: "They have been in contact by phone. Harry likes to keep in touch with his old girlfriends and he knows Caroline is fun and discreet.
"In fact, someone mentioned his name the other day and Caroline got flustered and went bright red."
Although Harry may have been speaking with Caroline he would only have been doing so as a friend, because she is currently dating music manager Jack Street.

Rod Stewart is moving back to the UK after almost 40 years.
The London born singer relocated to the US in 1975 to avoid tax - which at the time stood at 83 per cent for those earning the most money - but he is now planning on moving back to his homeland permanently so his youngest sons, Alistair, eight and Aiden, three, can be educated there.
When asked if his childhood home of Archway, London, still holds memories for him, Rod is quoted by Mirror.co.uk as replying: "Oh yeah. This place is still in my heart. We are planning hopefully on moving back in about 18 months so my kids can grow up here. It's not definite.
"But this is where me and [wife] Penny [Lancaster], this is where we come from."
Penny, 43, has also previously mentioned plans to move, saying: "Rod and I would like to move back ­permanently. It would be lovely for our kids to go to schools in England.
"We were both educated here. The children would be better off being educated here."
Rod has bought a £4.65million on a home in Essex ready for the family's return, but they will still keep their Beverly Hills home and split their time between the two.
Rod is a father to eight children in total with five different women, all of whom are now adults, apart from Alistair and Aiden.

Shep Gordon "trusted" Mike Myers to retell his life story because he is such a "good friend".
The veteran music manager helped promote a number of huge acts during his career - including Alice Cooper, Teddy Pendergrass and Pink Floyd - but until recently, had rejected all invitations to bring his story to the silver screen.
Reflecting on the documentary, 'Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon', he told BANG Showbiz: "I met Mike on 'Wayne's World' and then he came to Hawaii and we became friends. He bought a house on Maui, where I live, and he loved all my stories and for years he's been asking me about doing [the film].
"I didn't see any reason to do it other than ego ... then I had some surgery, was heavily medicated and feeling sorry for myself. Later I called him and said, 'Yeah, let's do this'."
Despite being close friends now, Shep admits he and Mike disagreed over which Alice Cooper song - 'School's Out' or 'Freak My Frankenstein' - was to be included in 'Wayne's World' when they first met.
He added: "In the end, we compromised and put both in the movie, and we came away respecting each other. And then I heard he was in Hawaii and I invited him by for dinner and then started a real friendship."
'Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon' is in cinemas now. See www.supermenschthemovie.com for more details.

Kodaline don't think "perfect" gigs exist.
The 'Love Like This' group don't have a specific "formula" for a successful show because they know every venue and audience is different.
Frontman Steve Garrigan told BANG Showbiz: "I don't think there are set key ingredients that act as a recipe for a perfect gig.
"Obviously the crowd and their reaction are very important but we treat each gig very differently and wouldn't apply one formula to make all successful.
"Plus there isn't such a thing as a perfect gig. You always make mistakes and the key to a successful gig is turning the mistakes into great, enjoyable music."
Steve also revealed the group have been working on the follow-up to last year's debut album 'In a Perfect World', but fans will have to wait until early 2015 to hear any new songs.
He said: "We've actually already started to work on our second album. When we haven't been touring we've been in the studio and are about half-way through so far so hope to finish it by the end of the year. That way we will be ready to share some new music with our fans early next year."
Kodaline were part of the stellar line-up for this year's Summer Series at Somerset House with American Express(r), just one example of the enriched entertainment experiences available to Cardmembers.

For her winning meal, she prepared duck stuffed with juniper berries as a starter, followed by a main of even roasted brill flatfish, while it was rounded off with a steamed cherry pudding for desert.
Gregg Wallace said: "Sophie's food is very much like her, it's original, it's individual, it has a style, it's different.
"She creates some absolute delights on a plate, they look like little stories to me; they just look amazing."
