Colton Haynes responds to rumors about "secret gay past"

Colton Haynes just wants everyone to "enjoy life," regardless of their sexuality.

"The Arrow"star took to social media on Saturday to address a comment a user on Tumblr had written upon discovering Haynes' "secret gay past."

"When I found out Colton Haynes had a secret gay past, I got so excited even though I know it makes absolutely no difference in my life," the original message read.

"Was it a secret?" the 27-year-old actor responded on his own Tumblr, adding, "Let's all just enjoy life & have no regrets."

Though he didn't officially confirm his sexuality -- he's kept his love life private since rising to fame in 2011 in MTV's "Teen Wolf" -- fans on Twitter couldn't help themselves from expressing their opinions on the matter.

Just last month, Haynes got candid about his struggle with anxiety, penning a personal story in a series of messages posted on Twitter.

"For those of you who are suffering with intense anxiety...ur not alone," he tweeted. "It's been a constant struggle for me since fifth grad. It's a battle."

"Anxiety had put me in the hospital a countless amount of times. Whether it be fainting, hyperventilating, or seizures...I've been through it," he continued. "Just know ur not alone and it affects more ppl than you would ever know. We can overcome this. We can fight thru it and will."
