"Modern Family" star Reid Ewing made headlines last week when he wrote a piece for the Huffington Post detailing his body dysmorphia and addiction to plastic surgery. On Saturday, the 27-year-old actor took to Twitter and confirmed he's gay during a conversation on body dysmorphia.
In his HuffPo article, titled "I Underwent Cosmetic Surgery for My Body Dysmorphia... And I Wish I Hadn't," Ewing writes: "I genuinely believed if I had one procedure I would suddenly look like Brad Pitt."
Ewing, who plays Sarah Hyland's boyfriend Dylan on "Modern Family," took to Twitter Saturday to respond to a story "Good Morning America" aired about a young man named Eugene Bata, who discussed his struggles with body dysmorphia, and revealed he is gay.
The actor confirmed he's gay in another tweet Sunday.
