In a video posted to TikTok, the actress – who is best known for her role as Tracy Turnblad in the 2007 reboot of Hairspray – danced around her garden to the beat of Diana Ross’ iconic LGBTQ+ anthem I’m Coming Out. “Hi, it’s Nikki Blonsky from the movie I’m Gay!” she captioned the video, alongside hashtags #pride, #imcomingout and #hairspray.
Blonsky also updated her Instagram bio to read, “Mama, I’m a Gay Girl Now!” Hairspray was Blonsky’s first ever film role. She received universal critical acclaim for her performance, earning a Critics’ Choice Award for Best Actress, as well as a nomination at the Golden Globe Awards.
