Biography

Lucas Hedges est le fils du réalisateur Peter Hedges et de l'actrice et poète Susan Bruce. Il grandit à Brooklyn et fréquente une école privée d'arts. Repéré par un directeur de casting lors d'un spectacle scolaire (Nicholas Nickleby), il commence sa carrière au cinéma par un petit rôle dans le film Moonrise Kingdom de Wes Anderson.

À la fin de sa dernière année de lycée, il tourne dans Manchester by the Sea, réalisé par un ami de son père Kenneth Lonergan. Dans le film, il joue Patrick, un adolescent élevé par son oncle (Casey Affleck) après le décès de son père. Sa performance est particulièrement remarquée et il est nommé pour l'Oscar du meilleur acteur dans un second rôle, finalement remporté par Mahershala Ali dans Moonlight. Hedges choisit alors d'abandonner ses études de théâtre à l'université de Caroline du Nord pour se consacrer à sa carrière.

Après avoir vu Manchester by the Sea, la réalisatrice Greta Gerwig lui propose de jouer dans son prochain film Lady Bird, lui présentant les rôles de Danny et Kyle, deux petits-amis de l'héroïne. Hedges choisit le rôle de Danny, dont il se sent « plus proche ». Il est à l'affiche d'un autre succès critique de l'année 2017, Three Billboards : Les Panneaux de la vengeance, où il interprète le fils de Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand). La même année, il tourne dans le film Ben Is Back, au côté de Julia Roberts et sous la direction de son père, ainsi que dans Boy Erased de Joel Edgerton, qui aborde le sujet des thérapies de conversion.

Le 27 mars 2019 en France, il est à l'affiche du film Boy Erased, adaptation de l'histoire vraie de Garrard Conley qui, à dix-neuf ans, s'est vu contraint de suivre une thérapie de conversion censée le rendre hétérosexuel, qui est sorti en 2018 aux Etats-Unis.

In September 1965, on a New England island called New Penzance, 12-year-old orphan Sam Shakusky is attending Camp Ivanhoe, a Khaki Scout summer camp led by Scoutmaster Randy Ward. Suzy Bishop, also 12, lives on the island with her parents, Walt and Laura, both attorneys, and her three younger brothers in a house called Summer's End. Sam and Suzy, both introverted, intelligent and mature for their age, met in the summer of 1964 during a church performance of Noye's Fludde and have been pen pals since then. Having fallen in love over the course of their correspondence, they have made a secret pact to reunite and run away together. Sam brings camping equipment, and Suzy brings her binoculars, six books, her kitten, and her brother's battery-powered record player. They hike, camp and fish together in the wilderness with the goal of reaching a secluded cove on the island. They are confronted by a group of Khaki Scouts who try to capture them, and during the resulting altercation, Suzy injures one of the Scouts with scissors and Camp Ivanhoe's dog is killed by a stray shot from a bow and arrow wielded by one of the Scouts. The Scouts flee and Sam and Suzy hike to the cove which they name Moonrise Kingdom. They set up camp and go swimming. Later, while drying off, they begin dancing to Françoise Hardy in their underwear. As the romantic tension between them grows, they kiss repeatedly.
