“I’m happier than I’ve ever been, and healthier than I’ve ever been, and that’s what I care about."
Too many rumors about Colton Haynes's sexual orientation have been floating around for years, but in a new Entertainment Weekly profile, the Teen Wolf actor opens up about making his private life public.
"I should have made a comment or a statement, but I just wasn't ready. I didn't feel like I owed anyone anything. I think in due time, everyone has to make those decisions when they're ready, and I wasn't yet. But I felt like I was letting people down by not coming forward with the rest of what I should have said...People who are so judgmental about those who are gay or different don't realize that acting 24 hours a day is the most exhausting thing in the world."
Though the 27-year-old has been out to his friends and family for years, he's now ready to live openly in front of everyone.
"It took me so long to get to this point, but I'm doing so good. I'm happier than I've ever been, and healthier than I've ever been, and that's what I care about."
Congrats, Colton!
