There are a ton of beautiful men in Hollywood, but Tinsel Town’s gay elite are some of the most exceptional, because there’s nothing sexier than owning and loving who you are.
For starters, take Queer Eye . The revival was a huge success, resonating with virtually everyone, spreading the message that beauty truly comes from within, regardless of your background, sexuality or gender. In particular, Jonathan Van Ness has emerged from the Fab Five as an activist for queer community — and we can’t forget about his gorgeous hair.
“ Coming out can be scary , it also can be completely life affirming, both or neither,” Van Ness said. “Whoever you are & wherever you are in a coming out process you are loved. Even if you don’t know if you’re loved by yourself & by others in a community that are waiting for you.” And now we love him more than ever.
In the music space, Years & Years vocalist Olly Alexander looked amazing on the cover of Paper magazine . In an interview, he hit the nail on the head. “In many ways, this is the very best time to be a gay artist ever,” he said. “We wouldn’t be where we are today without all the gay artists that have come before us and broken down so many barriers. But barriers aren’t gone. Particularly for less privileged members of the queer community. There is this very insidious casual homophobia that exists in the fabric of everything, including the music industry.”
So, let’s take a moment to shine a spotlight on the men of Hollywood who are out and proud — and gorgeous.
A version of this article was originally published in April 2015.
Kal Penn has always been an actor who’s kept his personal life as private as possible. But after getting engaged to his longtime partner Josh, the former House actor was so excited to share a new side of himself in his upcoming book, You Can’t Be Serious .
“I have one day off from The White House and this dude is unironically watching cars go around and make left turns? Next thing you know, it’s been a couple months and we’re watching NASCAR every Sunday,” Penn, who worked in the Obama White House, shared of how he and his partner bonded, per People . I’m like, ‘What is happening?’ I wanted the reader to enjoy the love and the humor through all of those stories.”
Former The Bachelor lead Colton Underwood came out as gay on Good Morning America in April 2021, a year after his 2020 breakup with Cassie Randolph, whom he met on the show, and to whom he apologized in this new interview for the frightening behavior that led her to file a restraining order against him after their split.
“I’ve ran from myself for a long time and I’ve hated myself for a long time, and I’m gay,” Underwood told GMA ‘s Robin Roberts. “I came to terms with that that earlier this year and have been processing it.”
“I wish it wouldn’t have happened the way it did,” he added, both of his own coming out and his relationship with Randolph. “I wish that I would have been courageous enough to fix myself before I broke anybody else.”
Former Arrow star Colton Haynes addressed his sexuality in 2016 after his response to a Tumblr post hinting at a “gay past” went viral. “I should have made a comment or a statement, but I just wasn’t ready,” Haynes told Entertainment Weekly of the headlines that followed. “I didn’t feel like I owed anyone anything. I think in due time, everyone has to make those decisions when they’re ready, and I wasn’t yet. But I felt like I was letting people down by not coming forward with the rest of what I should have said.”
“It took me so long to get to this point, but I’m doing so good,” he added. “I’m happier than I’ve ever been, and healthier than I’ve ever been, and that’s what I care about.”
Australian singer and actor Troye Sivan came out as gay to his fans in 2013 via YouTube video, and he’s been open about what it’s like navigating fame as a young gay man ever since. When an Express reporter asked him the invasive question “top or bottom” in 2019, Sivan took to Twitter to explain why the moment felt so jarring to him as an artist.
“I thought about asking the interviewer about his absolute fave sex position after that last question, but then I remembered how wildly invasive, strange and inappropriate that would be,” he wrote, later adding: “I highly doubt anyone would ask any of my straight peers explicit questions about who does what to who in their relationship, no matter the content of their music.”
Years & Years frontman Olly Alexander has never been shy about his sexuality. “In many ways, this is the very best time to be a gay artist ever,” he told the magazine. “We wouldn’t be where we are today without all the gay artists that have come before us and broken down so many barriers. But barriers aren’t gone. Particularly for less privileged members of the queer community. There is this very insidious casual homophobia that exists in the fabric of everything, including the music industry.”
You can’t choose just one — because literally the entire Queer Eye reboot cast is hot.
What’s hotter is that they’re all vocal about the LGBTQ community and being their true authentic selves. For instance, Karamo Brown was an ambassador of the 2016 Positively Fearless campaign. “The big piece of the mental health I do with my organization is that I believe mentorship is important. I believe in reaching back and making sure that someone younger than you has the information that you may not have had, but require now. Phill has been that way for myself and so many other people,” he told A&U magazine .
Best known for his role in Kyle XY , Matt Dallas has also appeared in Along Came the Devil.
NPH is pretty much perfection. He has hosted the Emmys, the Tonys and the Oscars with style and charisma, and no one looks better when they suit up.
He’s happily married to David Burtka, and they have two children together. You can catch him as Count Olaf in the Netflix family-friendly series A Series of Unfortunate Events . Or you can bring him home with you — kind of — in the form of playing cards he created , sold in Target stores everywhere.
Anderson Cooper is arguably the classiest man in Hollywood.
Whether he’s chatting it up on his talk show or reporting live from overseas, he always reminds us how intelligent and down-to-earth he is. Not to mention that his personality is just so darn lovable.

Chris Colfer is a best-selling author and Golden Globe winner, and has starred in a movie he wrote himself. He also has a children’s book, called The Land of Stories , which featured original fan art .
David Burtka’s smile instantly wins everyone over.
He can also sing, dance, act and cook, and he and husband Neil Patrick Harris have two children. Speaking of cooking, Burtka’s first cookbook, Life Is a Party , is came out in spring 2019.
The 50-year-old musical theater superstar first graced Broadway in the early 90s and has since taken home many accolades including an Emmy Award for Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series
for his role in Pose in 2019 .
Porter is married to Adam Smith who he first met in 2009 — the two were hitched in 2017.
He broke Rachel Berry’s heart on Glee , but we just couldn’t help our attraction to his bad-boy nature.
Aside from his Glee character, real-life Jonathan Groff is a sweetheart and is making his way through Hollywood. He’s the star of Netflix drama Mindhunter .
We loved him as Dr. George O’ Malley on Grey’s Anatomy (ABC), and he played Jordan on The Good Wife (CBS).

Adorable and funny, Andrew Rannells broke out from Broadway stardom and into the Hollywood spotlight as Bryan in NBC’s The New Normal , but he’s unforgettable on Girls as Elijah.
He also starred in the TV series Black Monday , and alongside Linda Cardellini, Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick in A Simple Favor , a mystery-crime thriller set to release in September 2018. But you might recognize him more for his role in the Broadway revival of The Boys in the Band .
Hello! Ross Matthews was a man on fire when he was a regular guest host of Chelsea Lately and hosted his own show, Hollywood Today Live . After he gave Celebrity Big Brother a shot in 2017, he moved on to host Big Brother talk show Off the Block .

Ty Herndon has been hot on the country scene for over two decades and inspired other musicians when he came out in 2014.
“I was 10, sitting in church and horrified that I might be a homosexual. Whatever that word meant, I knew that I probably was one,” the singer told People at the time . “And I know there’s a lot of those kids still out there. Telling my story is an opportunity to help just one of them.”
We dare you to listen to Tyler Glenn singing for the Neon Trees and not love him. Go ahead, try it.
He also made his Broadway debut in the Tony-winning Kinky Boots , when he took over the role of Charlie Price.

Only Billy on the Street can make screaming so sexy… and hilarious.

We seriously don’t know what our lives would be like without Jim Parsons and The Big Bang Theory . He also starred alongside Andrew Rannells in the hit Broadway play The Boys in the Band .
How many people do you think have watched CNN Tonight just so they could stare at Don Lemon’s face? More than a few, we think. As one could imagine, he is very outspoken about politics and current events.
After pop icon Tiffany accidentally “outed” New Kids on the Block band member Jonathan Knight on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live in 2011, he published a blog post on a members-only NKOTB blog, writing, “I have never been outed by anyone but myself! I did so almost 20 years ago. I never knew that I would have to do it all over again publicly just because I reunited with NKOTB! I have lived my life very openly and have never hidden the fact that I am gay!”

In 2017, he teamed up with Positively Fearless to educate the Lantino community about HIV. “I could’ve been a statistic and granted that when I was coming up, I sadly got the firsthand experience of people passing, so it was a different experience for me,” he told People at the time .

His Pink Sunglasses West Coast tour , where he played for fans for free, anywhere, as long as they can guarantee an audience of at least 15 people. How cool is that?
Jesse Tyler Ferguson brings the laughs in Modern Family as the better half of Mitch and Cam.
In addition to Modern Family , Ferguson’s spent a lot of time on Broadway. In 2016, he starred in Fully Committed , and he was also in Log Cabin , a new play by Pulitzer Prize finalist Jordan Harrison.
