Colton Haynes Calls Out ‘F*cked Up’ Hollywood Execs For Not Casting More Out Actors

Arrow/Teen Wolf star Colton Haynes went on an unexplained Twitter rant last night calling out Hollywood power peeps for not hiring more openly LGBT actors.

Haynes did, however, reserve praise for Hollywood execs Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story), Greg Berlanti (Arrow) and Jeff Davis (Teen Wolf) who have cast the handsome Haynes in his three most high-profile roles.

“Hollywood is so f**ked up. So much of the focus is on your personal life & has nothing to do with the talent you have to bring to the table.”

“Thank god for Ryan Murphy, Greg Berlanti, & Jeff Davis. They believe gay actors are more than just their personal lives.

“So disappointed in how Hollywood cant understand that playing a character has nothing to do with how u live your personal life.”

Haynes makes his return to Teen Wolf in the September 10 episode with fellow alum Charlie Carver as a hottie gay were-couple, and will also appear in the upcoming season of American Horror Story: Cult beginning September 5.

Out Actors Colton Haynes & Charlie Carver Return To MTV’s TEEN WOLF

Colton Haynes (L) and Charlie Carver (R) in Teen Wolf

On the September 10th episode of MTV’s Teen Wolf, out actors Colton Haynes and Charlie Carver return to the hit series in spectacular fashion.

The clip opens with Charlie Carver’s “Ethan” making phone calls to an unidentified boyfriend. A boyfriend who has apparently forgotten the couple’s anniversary.

Next thing you know two bad guys enter the apartment with a captive with a hood over his head.

After wounding “Ethan” with a shot of wolfsbane, he casually comments that the hooded captive is part “kanima” (which Colton’s character used to be). Haynes’ “Jackson” is unleashed and a fight ensues as Ethan bemoans the loss of antiques and framed photos.

You may recall that during Colton’s two seasons on the series, his character Jackson carried around a whole lotta emotional weight and angst, and I’m guessing his being in the closet was the reason why.

Teen Wolf showrunner Jeff Davis told EW  that Jackson’s newly revealed sexuality is something that came to him years ago. “I thought, if Jackson comes back, he’s coming back in a relationship with a guy,” Davis says. “Whether that means he’s bisexual or gay, that’s how he’s returning. I just felt like he went off to London and found himself.”

Charlie Carver adds, “We’re an odd couple. His character’s always been kind of an arrogant prick, so I’m the one who tones him down.”

“They complement each other perfectly,” Colton says. “They have a really beautiful relationship.”

I have to say, even in just this short clip, you can see the two actors have terrific chemistry.

Teen Wolf can be seen Sundays at 8/7c on MTV.

After his stints on horror television series’ Teen Wolf and Ryan Murphy’s Scream Queens, I think Colton Haynes will be quite at home as part of the upcoming 7th season of Murphy’s wildly successful anthology series, American Horror Story.

Haynes confirmed the casting via Instagram posting a blood-smeared pic of his face with the caption, “American Horror Story Season 7 … Already feels like home 🙂 So excited @mrrpmurphy.”

According to reports,  season seven’s theme will embrace aspects of the 2016 presidential election.

Colton Haynes Shares Losing His Virginity At 13 Plus His Hollywood “Tab Hunter” Situation

Speaking to Andy Cohen on SiriusXM’s “Radio Andy,” Arrow/Teen Wolf star Colton Haynes candidly shared personal details about his dating life including losing his virginity at the age of 13 to both a girl and a guy, albeit separately, and being set up on fake dates in Hollywood to hide his sexuality.

• “I lost my virginity at 13 to a girl and a guy. I’ve never said that before. The girl was two years older than me, and the guy was, I would say, around 16. Everyone participated. It was a real first time. It was exciting.”

• “I was literally told from the day that I moved to Los Angeles that I could not be gay because I wouldn’t work. Then I was with my management team and a team of people that just literally told me I couldn’t be this way. They tried to set me up with girls. I was rumored to date Lauren Conrad (of The Hills) for six months because they were kind of angling a story. And then I dated every other young person which of course I didn’t date.”

Haynes said his “dates” all understood what was going on. “They knew the whole time. It was like a Tab Hunter situation.”
