Brian Austin Green opened up recently about how his openly gay son Kassius Lijah Marcil-Green changed his way of thinking.

The “90210” star, who made an appearance on Lance Bass’ podcast “Frosted Tips,” said that he would often chat with his son in an attempt to “understand the things that seemed so different to me” before realizing he was overthinking.

“I would get into these conservations with Kash where it was like I really wanted to understand the things that seemed so different to me at first,” said Green, 50, while on the podcast. “And then you realize, ‘Oh, this isn’t different at all.’ It’s just your choice of partner. It doesn’t affect me at all.”

“And that’s the thing I’m always trying to beat into people now — it does not affect you,” continued the “Dancing With the Stars” alum. “Why do you care so much? And why are you trying to somehow bully your feelings and your opinion into something that literally does not affect you at all?”

Bass, 44, praised the father-of-five for being so “open-minded” and accepting of his 21-year-old son.

“He was so lucky to be able to be in your family because so many kids out there don’t get that,” said the former *NSYNC member, who is also gay. “And even if their parents accept them, there’s a lot of times when the kid still knows that they still disagree with it.”

According to Green, the experience has been”fascinating” due to the fact it was “unknown” territory for him.

“I think a lot of people are afraid of the unknown, whereas I’m not. To me, it’s intriguing. And I want to learn about it,” elaborated Green.

Green shares Kash with ex Vanessa Marcil, 54. He also shares kids Noah Shannon, 11, Bodhi Ransom, 9, and Journey River, 7, with ex-wife Megan Fox, 37.

Green also recently revealed that he spent nearly four years recovering from “stroke-like symptoms.”

“I’d spent four and a half years recovering from stroke-like symptoms without ever having had a stroke but I couldn’t speak,” the “Desperate Housewives” alum said.

“Then these neurological things started happening after the vertigo, and that was — it was four and a half years of my life. I got to the point where I shuffled like I was a 90-year-old man,” said Green. “I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t read. I couldn’t write.” David Becker/Getty Images for iHeartRadio

According to the actor, who appeared on “DWTS” alum Cheryl Burke’s podcast “Sex, Likes and Spray Tans,” doctors told him that he was suffering from vertigo and ulcerative colitis, which rendered the former dancer bedridden for three months.

Green’s problems did not stop there.

“Then these neurological things started happening after the vertigo, and that was — it was four and a half years of my life. I got to the point where I shuffled like I was a 90-year-old man,” said Green. “I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t read. I couldn’t write.”

When asked if the symptoms were a result of a 2014 collision he and his ex-wife Megan Fox were involved in, the actor dismissed the rumor.

“No. It was dietary,” explained Green adding that the media had “gotten it all wrong.”

“It was all undiagnosed by Western medicine,” continued the “Beautiful Disaster” star. “So I ended up having to finally find a doctor that is much more into, like, kinesiology and Eastern medicine.”

“I had such brain fog that I reintroduced my best friend of like 25 plus years to my sister who he had also known for 25 plus years,” confessed Green, who added that even reading a Dr. Suess book had become a challenge.

Green’s new physician revealed that he had “internal inflammation from gluten and diary,” which was also exacerbated by stress.
