He opened up about his appearance to People, admitting, ‘I really went on an emotional roller coaster.’

‘When this season was coming to an end, I had a moment where I was just watching all of them perform, and it just hit me. It hit me like a ton of bricks where I’m seeing the impact that the original movies had,’ he added.

‘The fact that it even paved the way for this to take place, and the fact that they’re carrying the torch in such a beautiful way — and then the fact that I got to be a part of it again, that I got to actually live in the joy and the magic that is High School Musical again, I wasn’t expecting it,’ Bleu added.

The actor added he had many conversations with series creator Tim Federle, adding he thinks the heightened character has, ‘a beautiful arc that does have some sense of realism.’

‘Onscreen Corbin is definitely not me. He’s so much more jaded and full of himself and kind of an a**. But what’s really wonderful about him is his realization of what theater and performance and these kids mean to him, and what it all did mean to him back then,’ he said.

‘I want people to see me in a different light. I don’t want to be pigeonholed in this certain character. You grow. And in order to do that, sometimes, you have to pull away. But enough time has passed that I can now visualize it not as something that’s dragging me or holding onto me, but as its own separate entity that I know that I came from. And I appreciate it so much,’ he added.
