#27: Colton Haynes
Year They Came Out of the Closet: 2016
Colton Haynes is an American actor and model who rose to fame through teen-focused television series including Teen Wolf and Arrow. His brooding screen presence and rapid rise made him a prominent figure in early 2010s pop culture.

Haynes came out publicly after years of tabloid speculation, later revealing the intense pressure and anxiety he faced while closeted. He has since spoken openly about mental health, addiction recovery, and the importance of self-acceptance beyond public expectations.
