Hayden Byerly Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Jude returns!

Hayden Byerly will indeed reprise his Fosters role on spin-off series, Good Trouble, it was confirmed today.

When the spinoff was announced, Jude was one of the characters expected to join Maia Mitchell and Cierra Ramirez full time on the show, however, it looks like it will just be a guest spot – for now.

Hayden joins Teri Polo and Sherri Saum as the third originals Fosters star to appear on the show.

Currently in production, Good Trouble is set to premiere early next year on Freeform.

Hayden Byerly cozies up to girlfriend Izabela Vidovic just before the start of the first ever Hayden’s Hope Totes Celebrity Scavenger Hunt held at Ruby’s Diner over the weekend in Redondo Beach, Calif.

The two former Fosters stars hosted the event, which was attended by pals Kamil McFadden, Ryan Ochoa, Robert Ochoa, Spencer List, Jenna Nolen, Tori Kay Harris, Da’Vinchi, Noam Sigler, Frank Gingerich, and Morgan Gingerich.

If you don’t know, Hayden started his organization at just 15 after speaking to real foster kids who were forced from their homes with nothing.

Hayden’s Hope Totes provides foster children with a duffle bag so “they would never need to leave any of their favorite things behind.”

Three years ago, The Fosters made history by featuring a kiss between Jude and Connor – it was actually the youngest same sex kiss on TV ever.

However, it was also the storyline that the show got the most backlash from too.

EP Peter Paige spoke with Advocate about the groundbreaking moment that is still talked about today.

“Jude’s coming out and particularly Jude’s first kiss…which was this beautiful, chaste, long-earned kiss with the boy who had been his best friend, who became his boyfriend— I was so invested in it,” he shared. “In a lot of ways it paralleled my own childhood, and my own story.”

He continues, “I was so invested in those characters, and it also felt earned, right, so natural and honest that I was shocked at the blowback. We got more blowback on that story than on probably anything we’ve ever done. We got more blowback on that story than on anything that happened in Queer as Folk [the breakthrough series on which Paige starred].”

He believes it was because of their age, which isn’t surprising, but he was.

“I had forgotten that there was this really false notion that gay people don’t turn gay until they’re adults,” Peter adds. “The kiss was more chaste than the kiss in My Girl. And nobody was running around screaming that the people who made that movie were pedophiles. Not only did the sick-o Internet trolls come for us, but some gay people came for us, too.”

“‘You’re making us look bad, you’re making us look like perverts,’” he recalls. “I was astounded. I went on HuffPost—they do a live show about gay issues…Even the host of that was like, ‘So, quite the scandal.’ And I was like, ‘Hi, can we not talk about it like that?’ The truth is, gay adults start out as gay kids. And we need to stop apologizing for that. We are doing gay youth and extraordinary injustice.”

Hayden Byerly is opening up about the end of The Fosters and saying goodbye to his character Jude.

The 17-year-old actor talked with Tiger Beat about what he’s taking away from the show, literally and figuratively, having the youngest gay kiss on television, and more.

On saying goodbye to his character: “Jude is not necessarily just a character that I played, he’s also a part of me. So it’s pretty crazy. It’s almost, saying goodbye to a piece of yourself, something that has been so connected and tied to you for so long. I will never really forget Jude. He’ll always be a part of my life, but it is kind of crazy to just say goodbye to him in this particular way, to say goodbye to him on screen and to not really be able to show him to the world anymore. But there’s so many more characters and things that I hope to do and play in the future!”

On having the youngest gay kiss on TV: “I think that it’s remarkable. I’m unbelievably honored that I was allowed to be a part of history, to make such a change and to do something so big and new in the entertainment industry. The writers had approached me and talked to me about it. To me, I was like, okay, that doesn’t seem like such a crazy thing, not a big deal, but it was. It made such an impact on society, on young kids in the LGBT community that wanted to see themselves accurately represented and portrayed on television. They wanted to see a character that made them feel happy and proud to be who they are. That’s what Jude was.”

On what he took from set: “A lot of people have probably seen it. It’s never been super in your face, but one of those Hollywood license plates on his door, with his name. I ended up taking that from the set, which, if anyone from Warner Brothers calls and asks, I’ll always deny it! I remember that early into the show, when Jude first moved into the house. He always had that sign on his door, and that was one of my favorite things, so I took that.”
