Actor backtracks about saying Kelly Brook isn't the brightest bulb

Matthew Morrison has claimed Kelly Brook is a 'wonderful person' and a 'good friend' less than a week after saying she was not 'the brightest bulb.'

During an interview with The Mirror newspaper earlier this week the actor revealed he went on 'one date' with the model in 2010, but claimed she wasn't 'the brightest bulb in the box.'

Playing down the stinging quotes, the Glee star has now told fans not to believe everything they read and claims Kelly continues to be a close friend of his.

He wrote on Twitter: 'Wow, woke up to a flurry of emails regarding Kelly Brook. Don't always believe what you read. Kelly is a wonderful person and a good friend.'

In response the Piranha 3D actress, who is dating rugby player Thomas Evans, replied: 'Thank you Matt xxxx.'

After the quotes were initially published, Kelly told her Twitter fans: 'I've had one motto I've always lived by - Dignity always Dignity (unless your making someone laugh) xxxx'. (sic)

Morrison will be soon be starring alongside Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Elizabeth Banks and Cheryl Cole in the movie What to Expect When You're Expecting, which is to be released on May 23.
