Misha Collins apologises for "misspeaking" at a convention that led fans to believe he had come out as bisexual.

Supernatural actor Misha Collins has apologised for comments which led fans to believe that he had come out as bisexual.

The 47-year-old, who played the fan-favourite angel Castiel on the show between 2008 and 2020, was appearing at a fan convention in New Jersey when he asked the audience if they considered themselves 'introverts, extroverts or bisexuals'.

"I'm all three," he added, with video footage of his remark then going viral on social media.

Taking to Instagram to clarify and apologise, however, he wrote: "I want to deeply apologize for misspeaking this weekend.

"At a fan convention in New Jersey, when I was talking with the audience, I said that I was 'all three' things: an introvert, an extrovert and a bisexual.

"My clumsy intention was to wave off actually discussing my sexuality, but I badly fumbled that and understand that was seen as me coming out as bisexual."

He continued: "This was not my intention, so I need to correct the record: I am not bisexual. I happen to be straight, but I am also a fierce ally and the last thing I want to do is falsely co-opt the struggles of the LGBTQIA+ community."

Collins married wife Victoria Vantoch in 2001 and together they have an 11-year-old son and a nine-year-old daughter.
