Colton Haynes

Colton Haynes is an actor known for Roy Harper on Arrow (The CW, 2012–2020) and Jackson Whittemore on Teen Wolf (MTV, 2011–2017). He came out as gay in a 2016 Entertainment Weekly interview after years of tabloid speculation and denied hints, saying that living in the closet had made him "miserable" and describing the anxiety and depression that came with maintaining a false public persona. He married celebrity florist Jeff Leatham in 2017 in a ceremony officiated by Kris Jenner (they divorced the following year). Haynes has since been candid about his struggles with mental health, sobriety, and body image, and has become an advocate for LGBTQ+ youth who feel trapped in the closet — particularly those in conservative families and communities who feel they have no visible role models.
