Lucas Hedges is earning near-universal acclaim for his performance in “Boy Erased,” in which he plays a conservative Christian man sent to a reparative, or “gay conversion,” camp after being outed by a college classmate. Appearing on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” Tuesday, the “Lady Bird” star recalled how the role of Jared Eamons resonated with him on a personal level. In September, Hedges told Vulture that his own sexuality “exists on a spectrum,” stopping short of using definitive labels like “straight,” “gay” or “bisexual.”“I went to a progressive, liberal arts school for my whole life,” Hedges said Tuesday. “In sixth grade, I had a health teacher, and he presented the idea of sexuality existing on a spectrum. It’s not really that you exist 100 percent one thing and 100 percent the other.”
