Lea Michele sees some of her dad in boyfriend

Lea Michele has revealed that her boyfriend Theo Stockman shares similar traits with her dad.

The Glee star explained that they both have a great sense of humour and a caring nature.

She told Cosmopolitan: "My father makes me laugh - my sense of humour comes from him - but at the same time, I know he's going to take care of everything.

"I see some of that in my boyfriend."

Working commitments mean that Michele and Stockman, who most recently starred in the Green Day Broadway musical American Idiot, spend a lot of time apart, but the actress said that her perfect evening still involves her boyfriend.

Describing her ideal night, Michele replied: "Take a shower, put on a bathrobe, pour myself a glass of wine and Skype with Theo. That's the best."

The 24-year-old recently said that she would like to get some more tattoos done.
