“One of the biggest differences I think between my generation and my kids is that they have almost zero homophobia.

“They’ve grown up thinking that it’s not a big deal to have gay characters on TV or in movies like ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ or ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’.

“There are all these things that started this (gay acceptance) ball rolling, and now people are really comfortable talking about it. I think you’ll see a lot less teen suicide in the coming years. I really do believe that.”

The actor first rose to prominence with his staring role in ‘Dead Poet’s Society’ in 1995 and has gone on to star in films including ‘Gattaca’, ‘Alive’, ‘Training Day’ and the Richard Linklater directed trilogy ‘Before Sunrise’, ‘Before Sunset and ‘Before Midnight’. Alongside his acting work Hawke has also published two novels.
