“Supernatural” alum Misha Collins wants the world to know she doesn’t Really oscillate in both directions.
The 47-year-old actor is now refuting reports that he “came out” as bisexual during Creation Entertainment Official Supernatural Convention over the weekend in East Brunswick, NJ.
The 47-year-old explained statements he made in the scam on Monday that apparently referred to his sexual orientation.
At the festival, the CW star told the crowd:: “For a show of force, how many of you would consider yourself introverted? How many extroverts? And how many bisexuals?
He then joked, “I’m all three of them,” drawing wild screams from the hustler crowd and an equally passionate reaction from fans online.
Fast forward to Monday: in a long twitter threadCollins clarified that he was straight and apologized for the “awkwardness of my language.”
“At a fan convention in New Jersey, when I was speaking to the audience I said that I was ‘all three’ things: introvert, extrovert and bisexual,” his revealing tweet began.
“My clumsy intention was to stop talking about my sexuality, but I was very wrong and I understand that I was seen as bisexual,” he continued.
The “Ringer” star continued, “This was not my intention, so I need to correct the record: I am not bisexual. I happen to be straight, but I’m also a fierce ally and the last thing I want to do is falsely co-opt the struggles of the LGBTQIA+ community.”
“I fully believe and support that we need to sanctify the human right to honestly express our identities and be free to openly love whomever we choose,” Collins added.
“I am deeply sorry for the clumsiness of my language,” Collins said. “I want to be a better ally and I feel sick to my stomach that I did something to make things worse. I’m trying to learn, trying to do better and I’ll keep listening.”
Collins is married to Victoria Vantoch. They married in 2001 and have a son, West, 11, and a daughter, Maison, 9.
His “Supernatural” character, the angel Castiel, came out as gay in the final season of the sci-fi show, and he didn’t last long after that. on a fan convention in 2020, Collins spoke about her character’s LGBTQ stance. Castiel tells [Jared Padalecki’s character Sam Winchester] who loves him… to complicate things, he dies after that,” she said.
“So Castiel makes this homosexual declaration of love, which is amazing that that happens, and then he dies right after, which plays into a timeless Hollywood trope of ‘kill the gays,’ which pisses off [fans]. So, we give and then we take away,” Collins explained.
