Hedges has already been in Manchester by the Sea (lord I hated that movie), Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (hated it) and Lady Bird (loved it), and he’s got a slew of fresh films coming out this fall: Boy Erased (about lgbtq+ conversion therapy), Ben Is Back (where he plays a drug addict recently out of rehab) and Mid90s (about skater boys).

"That was the case through high school, and I consider I was always aware that while for the most part I was attracted to women, I existed on a spectrum."

Lucas continued, "I felt ashamed that I wasn't 100 percent, because it was clear that one side of sexuality presents issues, and the other doesn't as much. I recognize myself as existing on that spectrum: Not totally straight, but also not gay and not necessarily bisexual."

LucasHedgesis garnering early Oscar buzz for “Boy Erased,” in which he portrays a fundamentalist Christian teen who attends a “gay conversion” camp.

Now the 21-year-old actor is using the cultural discussion surrounding the hotly anticipated film to open up about his own sexuality.

Hedges, who received a supporting star Oscar nomination for 2016′s “Manchester by the Sea,” told Vulture in an interview published Wednesday that he “exists on a spectrum” but stopped small of using terms love “straight,” “gay” or “bisexual” to label his sexuality.

“In the early stages of my life, some of the people I was most infatuated with were my closest male friends,” he explained. “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.”

Recalling a middle college health class discussion, he added, “I felt ashamed that I wasn’t 100 percent, because it was clear that one side of sexuality presents issues, and the other doesn’t as much. I acknowledge myself as existing on that spectrum: Not totally straight, but also not gay and not necessarily bisexual.”
