Here’s what the 22-year-old actor had to say…

On playing ordinary young
 men navigating strained and tumultuous 
periods of their lives:
 “My brother gives me a lot of s–t for it, actually. He’s like, ‘Most people in the world aren’t going through what your characters are going through.’”

On his childhood: “There was definitely a dream of being with somebody that never came true at that point in my life…it just didn’t feel like an option to actually be transparent with what I was going through. I really was trying to find myself through all these different relationships.”

On being compared to other leading men: “I do think about why there isn’t, like, a River Phoenix or somebody who I experience as being magical and ethereal and culturally historical…I do actually experience that with Timothée [Chalamet].”

On why he doesn’t aspire to heartthrob-dom: “I think I have a realistic sense of myself. The kind of actors I look up to are not the Rob Lowes. That’s not to say I haven’t wanted to be those guys. I know some women who are in love with Paul Dano. Colin Firth, perhaps?”

Stephen Colbert may have ignited a feud between Julia Roberts and Lucas Hedges on last night’s (December 4) episode of The Late Show!

The Ben Is Back co-stars were booked on back-to-back nights, with Lucas dropping by first on Monday night (December 3). Julia plays Lucas‘ mother in Ben Is Back and expressed she thinks of him as a son and even invited him over for Thanksgiving last year.

“This next thing might be a little rough,” Stephen said with a wicked smile after she finished her story. “Because we asked him, Lucas, last night about Thanksgiving.”

“Oh no, did you make him say something mean?” Julia asked. “I didn’t make him say something mean,” Stephen emphasized before playing the clip.

In the clip, Stephen asked Lucas about spending Thanksgiving with Julia, and then slipped in a little question: “Turkey wasn’t dry?” “Little dry,” Lucas responds.

“That’s the last f**king turkey he’s getting at my house,” Julia shoots back – Watch below!
