TWO young actors have come out as bisexual this week.
Australian Keiynan Lonsdale, star of The Flash, came out in an Instagram post.
“I like to change my hair, I like to take risks with how I dress, I like girls, and I like guys (yes),” he wrote.
Lonsdale, 25, said he has been working on accepting himself and his sexuality.
“Not faking shit anymore, not apologising for falling in love with people no matter their gender,” he wrote.
“Ya know more and more I see so many young people being their best/truest selves, it’s fucking inspiring… So what have I been waiting for?!”
Arrested Development and Broad City actor Alia Shawkat also came out as bi in an interview with Out magazine.
Shawkat, 28, spoke about growing up as a tomboy and being unsure of her sexuality.
“Now I consider myself bisexual, and I think balancing my male and female energies has been a big part of me growing as an actor,” she said.
“I think my influences are… growing up in Los Angeles and being exposed to lots of gay artists.”
Shawkat has appeared in several queer roles, including Ilana Glazer’s lover in Broad City, and gay Dalia in the arthouse film May in the Summer.
