Many celebrities are setting a great example in this regard. The likes of Gabrielle Union and her husband Dwyane Wade, actress Charlize Theron, have all come out in recent times to openly support their trans children.

Khary Payton was born on May 16, 1972, and he is famed for doing the voice-over for DC Comics character Cyborg across various platforms, including films, cartoons, and video games.

The 48-year-old actor currently stars as King Ezekiel in the AMC hit series "Walking Dead," which is now in its 10th season, and its season finale was delayed due to the novel coronavirus outbreak.

But if spoilers coming from the show's host are to be taken seriously, then fans of the post-apocalyptic hit series will soon find out the fate of their favorite characters in the season 10 finale.

While fans continue to wait to see Payton, take on his role as King Ezekiel again, they can't stop admiring him for his exemplary parenting skills.
