Colton Rudloff
When I was a teen-mag editor, I met a lot of talented kids and young adults. My friends were rarely impressed ... until a few years later, when said youthful performers turned into household names like Zac Efron, the Jonas Brothers, Hilary Duff, Britney Spears and many more.
I remember meeting the boy band Midnight Red around 2010. By then, I'd met enough boy bands to fill an encyclopedia (hmmm...idea?), so I can't say I was convinced they were going places. But I did find them to be nice, and I was especially impressed with the dynamic Colton Rudloff, an adorable (he would've been about 21 then) and charismatic lead vocalist who had an entrepreneurial air about him.

| Yep, he's gay. |
Over the years, the band has had some success (they opened for fellow hot body Austin Mahone), especially in Spain. On September 4 of this year, Rudloff came out as gay via Twitter, which didn't get the attention it should; his no-drama tweet alluded to the kind of b-t-s B.S. that probably hinders lots of gay kids in entertainment from coming out and living honestly and without so much stress.
As pertains to this list, Rudloff is (1) adorrrrrable; and (2) has a lean, mean machine of a body from his days as a competitive gymnast. So he gets to have talent, a rockin' body and integrity, and good on him.
