How do you know that "Colin is deeply concerned about the way he is perceived" and is "hiding something". You can't know those things unless he tells you so (and if you are a friend, why are you commenting on a public and anon. site)  All I see is that he is trying to keep is private life just that - Private. I really don't think he cares, nor is going to address the small group of fans who continue to make up stories and insist that he and Bradley are having a secret affair. He's getting on with his life and career and leaving Merlin far behind him.

I too have heard that Colin (and the rest of the cast) were deeply dissatisfied with the way the series panned out, and the emphasis of the Arthur/Merlin relationship. (the phrase I heard was near-mutiny at the final script read through)  He was silent at that group of interviews they had to conduct as he really didn't want to be there, and I agree with the other anon - he was deeply irritated at the line of questioning (not because he was hiding his sexuality, because he was not able to really say how he felt) The actors never had a lot of clout in terms of character development or story-telling, and in all interviews etc that they did, they had to follow the line the producers wanted them to follow  - there was a lot going on bts, which we will probably never find out.
