Kris & Adam embrace their ‘bromance’:
Adam’s crush on Kris:
“I was like, ‘Oh, shit! They put me with the cute guy. Distracting! He was the one guy I found distracting in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty, and totally my type – except that he’s got a wife. I mean, he’s open-minded and liberal, but he’s definitely 100% straight.” [Rolling Stone interview].
Q – You said you had a little crush on Kris.
A – He’s a cute guy, come on now. Him and his wife make a really cute couple; she’s a cool girl. And I’ve learnt a lot just by talking to them, about relationships and romance, and I think they are a great example; they are really, really precious.
Q – Did he know you had a crush on him before you told the Rolling Stone magazine?
A – Yeah, I just told him. I was like, “Mmhmm, yeah, all right Kris, yeah, you’re cute”. He’s a good-looking guy.
Q – And he said he was very flattered by it.
A – Kris is so well adjusted. That’s how everybody should be. Because, really, it’s not a big deal. You can find somebody attractive and it shouldn’t be scary. You know what I mean? It’s just a compliment. [Access Hollywood interview].
Kris responds:
- I’m flattered. And I think it’s hilarious.
- He was so funny. He texted me that day, like, ‘I’m so embarrassed.’ I’m like, ‘No, are you serious? Don’t be embarrassed. I think that’s hilarious.’ My wife, she’s so funny. She was like, ‘Tell Adam I have a crush on him.’
- That was funny, I read it and I laughed. He texted me afterwards, he was like, “Oh, I’m so embarrassed”. I said, “Adam, you’re not embarrassed about anything”. So it was really funny.
Kris’ crush on Adam:
Q – what did Adam’s fans send you as a birthday present?
K – They gave me a couple of feathers. They wanted me to glam up my look a little bit… which I really appreciate, thanks. They also gave me a headphone splitter, so that me and Adam can listen to music after the shows and cuddle.
A – They’re clearly misinterpreting our friendship. [Kris slips his arm around Adam’s shoulder; Adam cracks up].
A – A crush is a very non-threatening thing, I think.
K – Yeah. I have a crush on Adam. Can I say that? I have a crush on you, Adam.
A – They’ll run with that. Now everything…
K – Now I’m screwed.
A – Yeah, there you go.
K – Man crushes are in. Bromances are in.
Nevertheless, Kris supports Adam’s relationship with Drake:
”I think he’s happier that he can be himself [after the end of Idol & the Rolling Stone interview] and it’s nice. Adam is who he is and he’s not afraid. I support him in whatever he does… They’re a cool combination because they are so different. Drake’s from Louisiana and Adam’s from LA. [Drake LaBry] is a reall nice guy.” [People.com].
Adam talks about the Kradam fan-fiction:
Q – Your Bromance with Kris has taken on a life of its own: There’s fan fiction involving you two…
A – Oh really?
Q - Did you not know about that?
A – (laughing) No I didn’t.
Q – Oh my god. Adam.
A - I kind of want to read it.
Q - It’s kind of… hot. I’m really serious, Adam, it’s so good.
A - We should show it to his wife. That’s who we should have read it.
