Recently, Collins made headlines during a live Q&A at the Creation Entertainment’s Official Convention in New Jersey when he seemingly came out as bisexual—a revelation that took many by surprise and sparked a wave of support across social media.
During the Q&A session, Collins casually asked the audience three questions that would set the stage for his candid moment. “By show of force: how many of you would consider yourself introverts?” he began, prompting the crowd to respond. He followed up with, “How many extroverts?” and finally, the unexpected question: “And how many bisexuals?” The room erupted in cheers, and without missing a beat, Collins responded, “I’m all three,” before seamlessly moving on to the next topic.

One user expressed their excitement by tweeting, “I just finished only to get on Twitter after crying to find out Misha Collins is bi? WE KEEP WINNING.
Another fan, relating her own experiences, shared, “As a bi woman that considered herself a straight ally when she was young, married to a straight cis man, and has been hinting at her true sexuality, I’m so happy for Misha Collins and his coming out!
