Keiynan Lonsdale, the Australian actor best known for his role as Wally West, or Kid Flash, on The CW’s The Flash, has come out as bisexual in a moving Instagram post.

“I like to change my hair, I like to take risks with how I dress, I like girls, & I like guys (yes), I like growing, I like learning, I like who I am and I really like who I’m becoming,” Lonsdale writes.

He goes on to explain that he no longer wishes to spend any more time in self-hatred, or entertain the untrue belief that he is less valuable because he is different.

“I’ve become bored of being insecure, ashamed, scared… no one should feel like that about themselves, especially when there is so much good life to live,” he continues.

Lonsdale, who is also a musician and a dancer, is also starring in film Dance Academy: The Movie, reprising his role as Ollie Lloyd.
