We’re a little more than two weeks into the new year and already we’ve had one celebrity come out. Former Teen Wolf star Charlie Carver made the announcement on his Instagram page earlier this month. The 27-year-old said he was inspired to do so after seeing a sign that read, “Be who you needed when you were younger.”
More and more notables and not-so-notables are opening up and, in the process, paving the way for future generations to live openly and freely. We can only imagine who might join Carver on the coveted list of openly gay celebrities in 2016.
Last year, we did a round-up of celebrities who we hoped would come out in 2015. None of them did. (Whomp, whomp.) But that’s not stopping us from compiling a new list this year.
Lets look at seven celebrities who should bust down the closet door in the new year (but probably won’t)…
Jonathan Bennett
The actor, model and former Dancing With The Stars contestant has never discussed his sexual orientation, though many Hollywood insiders, as well as several online outlets, including, briefly, his own Wikipedia page, have all claimed he’s one of us. Yet the 34-year-old refuses to confirm or deny. Most would agree that Bennett, who once starred in Mean Girls and made regular appearances on hit TV shows like Law and Order: SVU and Veronica Mars, could use a career boost. Besides an upcoming guest spot on the VH1 series Hit the Floor, his current gig is hosting the Food Network’s reality competition Cake Wars, after all, and before that starred in the made-for-TV movie A Christmas Kiss 2. Coming out might actually up his game.
