Chad Roberts is hoping for an XBox One for Christmas.

The 15-year-old 'Cougar Town' star is an avid gamer and hoping he gets one of the new Microsoft consoles on December 25.

Speaking at the NOH8 campaign's 5th anniversary party in Hollywood, he exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'm with my brother and sister and mom and dad for Christmas. We get the presents opened straight up. I'm really hoping for an XBox One this year. I love playing 'Call of Duty'."

The young star is glad to have got a break in TV while still young and he says it has helped him mature fast.

He added: "My friends think it's really cool actually, they're really supportive. Some people think its weird I'm home schooled, compared to regular school, but it's the same thing, you do the same exams.

"It's a good experience, it helps get me out there into the world, makes me able to talk to people, so it's good."

The NOH8 campaign was originally set up in protest against California's controversial Proposition 8 state constitutional amendment, which took away same-sex couples' right to marry. It has now been removed, but the campaign continues, promoting marriage, gender and human equality. It is famed for its pictures of stars with the campaign's logo on their face and duct tape over their mouths.

Campaign founders Founders Adma Bouska and Jeff Parshley said: "When we started we didn't even know we were going to be an organisation, it was kind of accidental ... Once we saw the community get involved to the numbers that they have, thousands of people coming out, it has inspired us to continue and take this worldwide."

Among guests at the party were model Amber Rose, singer Ryan Cabrera, Ex-Pussycat Dolls star Kaya Jones and Darryl McDaniels from rap group Run-DMC, who also performed.
