Lucas Hedges opens about his sexual identity

It might sound unlikely for Hedges to state such a thing, or to be so self-doubting in the first place: After all, he was raised in a happy, artistic Brooklyn household by his father Peter, a filmmaker, and mother Susan, an actress and poet. Still, Hedges grew up convinced that there was something wrong with him. “I remember becoming obsessive,” he says. “I had this compulsion to confess all my thoughts to my mother, any bad thought I had.”

Once, in third grade, Hedges told her he had a crush on a boy at day camp. “I felt terrible about it,” he says. “I remember her being very comforting, and she understood that something was distressing me, and she said, ‘You don’t have to go back to camp today.’ ” He pauses. “I’m sorry, I can’t help but feel a little self-conscious, only because I’m talking to you and the world at the same time.”

Hedges knows that since he’s starring in Boy Erased, people will ask him about his own sexuality. “I owe it to this part to speak as honestly as possible,” he says. “In the early stages of my life, some of the people I was most infatuated with were my closest male friends. That was the case through high school, and I think I was always aware that while for the most part I was attracted to women, I existed on a spectrum.”

I cannot wait for this movie and he is kinda attractive to me, and extremely talented. I'm glad he feels more comfortable now talking about his sexuality than before. :pray:

Ughhhh, idk, this movie seems so pandery - not that I mind, but I hope it's actually really good and not a mediocre drama that's trying to sell itself just on the premise... Like, I love Nicole Kidman, but I don't really see her as a southern mom... And I've only seen Lucas in Lady Bird, but he didn't strike me as a stand out...

We'll see I guess, but... they better get it right, or else I'll be judging... JU-DGING :neyde:

It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke!

I find him adorably cute. He was good in Lady Bird and especially in Manchester By The Sea. Now he’s like saying he’s fluid, I’m like yasss :staymad:

He was great in manchester by the sea, his role in lady bird was really small so that’s understandable

The book itself is fantastic if that means anything?

It means if they don't get it right, it will be this much more embarrassing :selena:

Hahaha it would be except that I think the movie is VERY loosely based on the book. Like, it has its own story that was inspired by the events of the book (and Garrard’s life).
