Speaking in 2013, Hutcherson addressed his sexuality, admitting he really loves women, but admires good-looking men.
“I’ve met guys all the time that I’m like, ‘Damn, that’s a good-looking guy,’ you know? I’ve never been, like, ‘Oh, I want to kiss that guy,'” he said.

During his cover interview he confirmed, at the time, he was straight: “Maybe I could say right now I’m 100 percent straight. But who knows? In a fucking year, I could meet a guy and be like, ‘Whoa, I’m attracted to this person.’”
