Matthew Morrison believes he should be paid more because his hair is "another character" in Glee.

The 31-year-old actor - who plays teacher Mr Schuester in the musical TV series - explained he gets so much attention for his hairstyle in the show that he thinks he should be given a pay rise by Fox bosses.

He said: "How do I feel about the jokes about my hair? It doesn't bother me, but I do feel I should be paid more money because my hair is another character!

"As people once asked for a 'Rachel from Friends' haircut, perhaps they'll soon be asking for a 'Schuester'!"

The hunky actor admitted he has had to add a lot of hats to his wardrobe in order to avoid being recognised by the show's enthusiastic fans.

Anonymity gone

Matthew added: "My anonymity has gone. I can't walk five feet without being stopped for a picture. But you have to embrace it. You work this hard and hope for something like this to come along, so you can't push it away when it happens.

"But I am buying a lot more hats now! I'm also walking around a lot in clear glasses - sunglasses make it look like you're trying too hard!"
