Watch Colton Haynes talk about "Teen Wolf"
Colton Haynes has been a prominent actor in the television industry for quite a while now with popular roles in "Teen Wolf," where he played Jackson Whittemore, the CW series "Arrow," as Roy Harper, as well as Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story: Campaign" and "Scream Queens."
Between these his many performances, fans have fallen in love with Haynes' fun and chaotic energy on and off the sets of his shows. Now is a good time to take a look at some of the social media posts Haynes has used to share significant moments with fans, support for the trans community, and even some jokes with co-stars and friends!
Here, Colton Haynes decided to share some of the highlights of a trip he took to Brazil in December of 2022 to promote "Teen Wolf: The Movie." Haynes can be seen having some fun with co-star Shelly Hennig and is also enjoying the love of the Brazilian fans in the crowd during the promotional tour. This is another instance of Haynes being larger than life and embracing the moments with his supporters all around the world.
Many fans give messages of support to their favorite celebrities without any expectations of getting a response. This is why it's awesome to see Haynes giving love back to this reviewer of his memoir on Instagram. The person who bought the autobiography complemented the actor for his strength and reliability. This is a great example of the power LGBTQ+ celebrities have to give other people strength in the face of adversity, especially someone like Haynes who grew up in a very homophobic area of the U.S. Clearly "Miss Memory Lane" isn't just your typical recounting of the actor's childhood.
We get to see more of Haynes with his "Teen Wolf" co-stars in this adorable set of pictures with Crystal Reed and J.R. Bourne. Many people worry that their favorite TV stars don't get along when they're off-screen, but these pictures seem to prove the opposite for the actors of the supernatural series. Great chemistry behind the scenes seems to be a great indicator of performance on the screen!
Haynes shows off his sense of humor in celebrating a landmark moment in his life here by acting as if it's a birthday party. Haynes has a long history of struggling with addiction, so perhaps this is a set of pictures reveling in his sobriety. The caption seems to indicate he's been clean for three years at this point in October of 2021. We hope he continues to thrive!
One of the biggest LGBTQ+ musicians in the world right now is undoubtedly Lil Nas X. The creative and courageous rapper is known for his unique stage performances and videos, and Haynes was lucky enough to make a cameo in the accompanying video for "Industry Baby." Haynes plays one of the policemen in the video, and he shows some behind the scenes pictures in this Instagram post.
Haynes has been open about his tumultuous upbringing during his teen years after coming out to his family. This photo at least shows that his brother is still in his life, and Haynes looks like he's appreciative for this blessing. His niece is also an adorable addition to the post!
This photo shows Haynes modeling for XY Magazine back in his teenage years, along with an intimate caption from the actor explaining why this is the first time he's publicly acknowledged the photoshoot. Haynes talks about how he was uncomfortable embracing his sexuality due to fears of being typecast or even losing out on roles. Now that he's experienced so much support throughout his career, he can be proud of his past.
Haynes looks exuberant and proud of his work on "Teen Wolf" in more behind the scenes set photos he posted here in September of 2017. The post celebrates his entire time on the series, which was coming to an end at the time of this celebration of the show. The love for the show can be felt by fans through the screen and all over the world!

Haynes uses the TikTok makeup filter to his advantage here, teasing about how to enhance his looks on the app when he can't use actual touch-ups at home.
Haynes shows his childlike innocence and appreciation for being an actor with this post showing when he got to work with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The wrestler is one of the most famous people in the world, and Haynes looks to be having a good time with him.
