Watch: 'Boy Erased' Star Lucas Hedges Tells Ellen 'Sexuality is Fluid'

Actor Lucas Hedges, who stars in the upcoming gay conversion therapy drama "Boy Erased," stopped by the "Ellen DeGeneres" show along with costar Nicole Kidman. There, he opened up about conversion therapy laws in the U.S. and also commented on his own views about sexuality.

"In sixth grade I had a health teacher who presented the idea of sexuality existing on a spectrum," he explained. "It's not really that you exist 100% one thing and 100% the other and from that moment on I always identified myself as existing within that spectrum. I see it as something that's more fluid. It's not as black and white."

DeGeneres chimed in with a joke: "I'm confused whenever I'm around Ryan Reynolds. I could go on. Justin Timberlake. I'm confused. What's wrong with me?"

This isn't the first time Hedges opened up about sexuality. Last month the 21-year-old actor was featured in New York magazine and made similar comments, adding he's "not totally" straight.

"I owe it to this part to speak as honestly as possible," he told the publication. "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."

He then reflects on his sixth-grade health teacher calling sexuality a broad range where many people fall in hard to define categories between straight and gay.

"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," Hedges said. "I recognize myself as existing on that spectrum: Not totally straight, but also not gay and not necessarily bisexual."

On the "Ellen" show, Hedges also discussed laws that allow parents to send their children to the harmful conversion therapy camps.

"It's legal in 36 states and a lot of parents think you can change your children's sexuality so they send them to these places," he explained. "They're not doctors. They don't have any degree. They're just people who think they can change your sexuality. It's frightening in 36 states that that's still legal and that still goes on."
