Nut Graf: The Glee alum’s disclosure during a surprise reunion with former castmates underscores the enduring fascination with early celebrity culture and has sparked a renewed fan hunt for the unreleased images.

Reunion Revelation

Overstreet, 36, reunited with Jane Lynch, Amber Riley, Heather Morris and other New Directions alumni on FOX’s Celebrity Weakest Link. When Lynch quizzed him about a rumored six-figure offer, Overstreet confirmed he not only accepted the $100,000 proposal but also completed the shoot, only for his publicist to withdraw the issue at the last moment.

• “I pocketed the money, and it was the biggest issue they ever had-preorders, presales,” Overstreet said, adding, “Then my publicist pulled it off the rack. So it’s out there. It’s out there somewhere.”

Fan Frenzy and Call to Action

Jane Lynch challenged viewers to locate the elusive magazine spread, igniting social-media campaigns under hashtags like #FindThosePlaygirls. Fans have since scoured online marketplaces and collector forums in hopes of uncovering the legendary issue.

Behind the Hoax and Legacy

Playgirl first approached Overstreet at the height of Glee’s popularity in 2010, aiming to capitalize on his Sam Evans persona. Though the images never saw a public release, the anecdote highlights the intersections of fame, image rights and celebrity privacy in the digital age.

What’s Next for Overstreet?

While the hunt for his Playgirl spread continues, Overstreet remains focused on his acting and music careers, including his role in Apple TV+’s Acapulco and an upcoming full-length album that he describes as “therapy in song.”
