The Emmy nominated and Golden Globe winning actor/singer reached a milestone on Friday — he turned 21!

Chris — who plays openly-gay student Kurt Hummell on the hit Fox show — was all atwitter Thursday about celebrating his big day.

In fact, the native of Clovis, California posted on Twitter:  “Tomorrow is my 21st Bday, so I would like to apologize now for any inappropriate messages my friends may get. Just be prepared.”

HOTOS:  The Cast Of  Glee In New York

Glee just aired up its season finale that saw New Directions bombing at Nationals, but there’s no rest for the cast — they start their Glee Live Tour Friday night at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

(Bet they surprise him with a birthday cake!)

The tour — which features the cast performing songs from the show — makes several stops across the U.S, including in Chicago, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Washington, DC, and New York, and even overseas, with stops in London and Dublin.
