Actor Glad He's Not Heterosexual After Gay Role

Actor Michael Johnston shared that playing a gay teenager on 'Teen Wolf' was a terrifying experience, particularly as he was coming to terms with his own identity growing up in the South. He initially struggled with the role, recalling family's reassurances about the on-screen portrayal.

Despite the personal challenges, Johnston found immense gratitude in the positive impact his portrayal of Corey Bryant had on LGBTQ+ fans. He received many messages from individuals who found his bravery and self-acceptance meaningful.

Reflecting on more recent work, Johnston discussed his role as a straight character in the horror film 'Obsession.' He expressed a desire for more intentional queer roles in the future.

In a surprising turn, when asked what he learned from the mishaps in 'Obsession,' Johnston quipped that it made him "glad I'm not heterosexual."
