Garrett Clayton Comes Out As Gay (Finally)
YAY! Super cute actor, Garrett Clayton, who came to fame as Tanner in the 2013 Disney Channel’s Teen Beach Movie and portraying gay adult film star Brent Corrigan in King Cobra, has come out as gay.
Introducing his longtime boyfriend, Blake Knight in an emotive Instagram post about his latest film project, Reach, Clayton wrote how the new project helped him decide on the announcement.
Clayton plays a socially awkward teenager who plans on committing suicide after extensive bullying in Reach.
Clayton wrote that the film “deals with some very serious and timely topics that have affected me personally, and have likely influenced many of your lives as well.”
“When I read the script for REACH, I immediately knew it was a film I had to be a part of,” he continued. “I have personally dealt with suicide within my own family, intense bullying in high school, and – on top of it all – myself and the man I’ve been in a relationship with for a long time (@hrhblakeknight) have both experienced shootings within our hometown school systems, and have witnessed the heartache that takes place in affected communities after such tragic events.”
He ended his message by saying. “This film has come from the perspectives of people who care deeply about these issues, and if watching it helps even one person… then it was all worth it.”
