Lea Michele graces the cover of Marie Claire Mexico and looks absolutely beautiful for their August issue. The actress spoke highly of her boyfriend and fellow co-star Cory Monteith in her interview with the magazine, who was “in great spirits” when he stopped by her photo shoot in early June.
It is reported that was one of the last times Lea saw Cory before his death less than two weeks ago. The world is still mourning the loss of the Glee superstar, who tragically died from an accidental overdose of heroin and alcohol in Vancouver, BC.
Lea Michele: Cory Monteith “is the Best Person I Know” to Marie Claire
“He is the best person I know, he has made my life so incredible, and I am so thankful for him and not only to have him as a partner but also as a co-worker. It is important to have someone that supports you and encourage you, someone that makes you feel that you are unstoppable, that you can do anything in the world because you have him.”
The show’s co-creator Ryan Murphy was unsure of Glee‘s future however he recently said in a statement, “We made no decisions without consulting Lea. She was very adamant that she thought it was best for the cast and crew to get back together sooner [rather] than later. Cory was so beloved that she felt people really needed to be together in this time. So we sort of followed her lead.”
