Actor Matt Dallas has revealed he was told to keep his sexuality a secret while acting in ABC’s Kyle XY.
The 36-year-old performer, who shares a YouTube channel with his husband—musician Blue Hamilton—was answering questions from fans about self-care and self-love on camera, when he mentioned the series in which he starred between 2006 and 2009.
“When I was at Kyle XY and I was told I couldn’t be out of the closet because it was going to ruin my career, I went through a period of being single for a long time because I was afraid to even date,” he said in the YouTube video, published on Wednesday (February 6).
