Teen Wolf star Colton Haynes has revealed that he almost wasn’t cast in the MTV teen drama after execs found out he’d been in a gay magazine shoot.
Despite his character being canonically queer in the show, Haynes revealed in his new memoir, Miss Memory Lane, that the head of MTV at the time didn’t want to hire him for Teen Wolf because he did a photoshoot for XY Magazine when he was a teenager.
He recalled how his manager told him to “stay in character both on and off set” after he landed the role of Jackson Whittemore, a bully who eventually turned into an ally.
