Some former teen stars retain their cuteness through their 20s, 30s, 40s, and on. Others move from "dreamy" to "meh," and an unfortunate few turn into gorgons. I'll leave it to you to decide what happened to Kenton Duty.
Yes, that's his real name.
Born in 1995, Kenton began acting at the age of nine, and first appeared on screen at age eleven. He drew fan attention in 2010 for a ridiculous background story on the paranormal Lost: in the first century CE, a Roman woman is shipwrecked on the floating island, has twin sons, Jacob and ___. Christians and Jews were a tiny minority at the time. How does she know the Jewish name? For the rest of the plot arc, everyone refuses to say the name of the other brother, although it obviously has to be Esau.
This led to Shake It Up (2010-12), a slight variation on the usual Disney teencom format. Instead of a girl who wants to be a singer, it featured two girls who want to be dancers. Kenton played the German-stereotype Gunther Hessenheffer, who dances with his sister Tinka. According to the fan wiki, he is "flamboyant, fashion-conscious, theatrical," with a gay-subtext firendship with Ty Blue (Roshon Feagan) but straight, dating and crushing on a number of girls.
You might expect some gay characters or subtexts in Contest (2013), where a bully and his queer-coded victim (Kenton, left, Daniel Flanagan, not shown) work together to win a contest, but the victim gets a girl.
We do see a lot of Kenton's physique, and Phil of the Future's Raviv Ullman appears.
Don't get excited. It's Guys Night (2015) is a two-minute short in which the guys get a girl to join them. Why would two guys want to spend time alone?
Kenton's most significant role in the post-Shake It Up era is in the Christian soap Hilton Head Island (2017-19). Michael Swan stars as the dying patriarch of a clan scheming to get their hands on his media empire. Kenton plays a grandson.
He's done some other Christian tv series, like The Encounter (Jesus steps in to solve people's problems), but also some secular stuff, like Filthy Preppy Teens and A Housekeeper's Revenge.
Kenton also has eight writing and 31 directing credits, mostly in shorts: Labels, All in the Cards, Gloommates, Kids on Patrol, Wasteland, Dead Giveaway, Condemned. They don't have descriptions on the IMDB, and I doubt that any have gay content, so we'll skip right to the n*de photos.
More after the break. Caution: explicit
For someone who does mostly fundamentalist work, Kenton has a surprising number of j/o videos posted online. Maybe they're leaked?
On the small side, but it's what God gave him.
Why is this one so m uch bigger?
Next questiion: Is he gay in real life?
Nope.
His Instagram is depressing. Almost every photo shows him hugging and kissing his wife, or being grabbed by her, and discussing how much they love each other. Ok, here's one where she's a few inches away, kneeling in worship as he pretends to be a woman. Girlfriend likes her men on the femme side.
The grown-up Kenton with a Lost bobblehead. Still cute, average, or gorgon?
