During a recent public appearance, the 47-year-old Supernatural actor revealed to an audience that he is bisexual.
While speaking at a Supernatural fan convention, Misha Collins revealed to the audience that he was bisexual.
“How many of you would consider yourselves introverts?” Collins asked the crowd in a video shared on Twitter.
“How many extroverts? And how many bisexuals?”
At the last question, the crowd erupted into claps and cheers, with some audience members confused about where he was going with his train of thought.
“I’m all three.”
After that, he moved on and did not bring up his sexuality again.

During the final season of the 15-year-long Supernatural, Collins’ character Castiel came out as gay, professing his love to Dean Winchester right before he died. The move was extremely controversial for fans, who believed that this action further perpetuated the ‘bury your gays’ trope that we often see in fictional media.
“I think Castiel’s ending on the show is really just what I would have wanted. I knew the ending that he was going to meet with for about a year, and I was really happy about it. And I’m still happy about it,” Collins said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight shortly after the airing of his final episode. “I’m really curious to see how the audience responds to the end for Cas. But it feels important. It feels like it makes his arc on the show meaningful, not just in terms of the mythology of the show, but in terms of a message for the greater world and our particular moment in history. I’m very happy with it.”
Misha Collins was married to Victoria Vantoch since 2001. He revealed they separated in his poetry book published last year, Some Things I Still Can’t Tell You. Together, they have two kids – son West, 11, and daughter Maison, 9.
