Nick Robinson Reveals His Brother Came Out Just Before He Filmed 'Love, Simon'

Nick Robinson just revealed that the message behind his new movie Love, Simon hits pretty close to home.

The 22-year-old actor opened up about how his gay brother came out right before he started filming the movie during an appearance on The Ellen Show on Wednesday (March 14).

“He came out right around the same time we started filming. I think he had been dealing with this for a long time. The timing was sort of coincidental,” Nick explained.

He continued, “One of the best things that came out of this movie was just being able to talk to him and I think the strength of a film like this is it starts conversations. I hope it can do that for more people.”
