Darin went on to say that he knows “how difficult it can be” to hide your authentic self, before adding: “Took me a while, but I am proud to be gay. Happy pride!”
His post was met with overwhelmingly positive comments from stars such as Zara Larsson, Miss Li, Clara Henry, ILYA Salmanzadeh and Kenza Zouiten Subosic.
