Ever since recently watching the Glee Concert Movie for the first time (Late, I know) I have become obsessed with Kellen Sarmiento, the mini Warbler. So, I’ve decided to look around and see what I could find out about this adorable little Warbler!
According to Kellen’s mother, Emily Sarmiento, “fell in love with” Warbler Blaine Anderson’s (Darren Criss) performance of “Teenage Dream”. Emily also stated that Kellen watched the performance over and over on his parents cell phones for 2 weeks before he had memorized the routine. Fun fact: Kellen is extremely detail oriented. His grandmother made his fantastic Warbler costume with help from Kellen. “He knew there were only two buttons on the blazer and that they were gold, but they weren’t on his jacket. So he told his grandmother, ‘You need to change that,’” Emily Sarmiento said.
Oh, that silly Kellen!
Kellen went to see the Glee Concert Live not once but TWICE. The second time around, videos of him dancing to the Warblers “Teenage Dream” and “Raise Your Glass” had gone viral on YouTube. Fans would come up to Kellen to take pictures. His mom said “he was pretty cool about it, which was weird because he’s usually so shy.” Emily was contacted by producers of Glee for permission to use footage of Kellen for the Glee Concert Movie. I can only thank the great Warbler in the sky because permission was given, and soon Kellen was walking down a red carpet for the premiere of the movie.
Kellen is now in kindergarten, and I’m sure he’s knocking the hair bows off of all the little ladies in his class.
