Kit Connor and Joe Locke Answer Fan Questions | Heartstopper | Netflix 

can we just collectively give it up for kit connor, who has achieved the previously thought to be impossible task of making nick nelson even MORE likable than before

For a first acting role, Joe Locke really gave it all in his scenes. He really is Charlie Spring.

The way these 2 have 0 romantic chemistry in interviews, and insane romantic chemistry while acting shows how talented they really are. ❤️

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that this is Joe's first acting role because he's that good! So sweet so nice and funny and kit just brings so much more to nick from the graphic novel, I love the novel but kit just nailed nick even more than the novel

Kit Connor did so well he embodied Nick Nelson's golden retriever energy it's so cute 😭

Can we appreciate the fact that they chose real teenagers to portray high school kids. Like both are 18 and are representing 15-16 year olds

I just think this series is for everyone. I'm straight and I'm completely obsessed with the show. I've seen it twice already and can't wait for a second season. It represents what everyone wants, in such a warm and positive way - to love and be loved. I can't get over how cute everything is about this show. The relationship these guys have with each other but also the positive relationships and support network in their friends, teachers and family - I can't pretend to know how it feels to have grown up with the same challenges relating to sexuality and how that makes you feel about your overall identity, but I know that shows like this didn't exist 12 years ago when I was the same age as the characters, and for anyone who experienced judgment, as some of my friends did, I wish something like this would have been made sooner! This show made me feel so warm, not just in terms of the positive representation it brings to the LGBTQ+ community, but it also gave me major F.R.I.E.N.D.S vibes because the cast just had so much chemistry. It made me realise people weren't as nice or supportive to each other as they could have been when I was in school, and that makes me sad. but I think we've come a long way as a society since then and It's really nice to see that things are improving and awareness is being raised all the time. This show has represented the LGBTQ+ community in such a beautiful way, focusing on love, exploration and acceptance - and I love and respect that so much. I need more of this show. Ugh, I don't think I can wait for season two! 😩 I need more of this adorable couple. Nick, the golden retriever

Their first kiss scene was the most beautifully acted scene I've ever witnessed in television or movies. Their facial expressions - so natural. The scene brilliantly acted.

Kit Connor here looks like he's in his 20s but when he's Nick Nelson, he looks like he's literally 16 and I LOVE IT.

i hope joe knows how he is literally the perfect actor to play the role of charlie. the way he portrayed charlie in the show was phenomenal

the way joe locke handled the taylor swift question was nothing short of sensational

genuinely adore joe's personality so much i could hear him talk all day

Manifesting we get more seasons. WE NEED MORE!!!! Edit: A 2ND AND 3RD SEASON???? THANK YOU SO MUCH NETFLIX

I just loved how nick and Charlie would say “hi” to each other .. it was so cute and genuine. Loved those scenes!!

very rarely do you see actors who legitimately look like their character but Kit and Joe are legit Nick and Charlie brought to life.

When I saw Heartstoper my heart melted. It was like seeing my high school story play in front of me. I was a male cheerleader and had a crush on the cutest boy in school the boy all the girls wanted and all the boys wanted to be friends with. It was the late 90s and early 2000s. We became friends and fell in love. We had to keep it a secret because it was a different time. I had my own Kit Conner and he was beautiful.

the fact that the vast majority of the questions were asked by young royals fans cracks me up. Clear interlap between fandoms.

I feel like not enough people are giving joe enough credit. He did a PHENOMENAL job portraying Charlie. Charlie is one of my favorite characters in heartstopper, so I really loved how he did such a good job and I hope I can see him in other acting roles as well. I love this cast❤❤❤

Kit responding to joe with deadpan “yeah that is really embarrassing 😐” to joe mid interview made me HOLLER

This actually is the one and only series on Netflix I’ve watched multiple times, because I understood nicks pressure, and Charlie’s happiness

Joe literally IS Charlie. Charlie Spring would totally love folklore

I love how realistic this show was for lgbt youth! Especially the part where nick is trying to figure out what his sexuality is with the quiz. I felt that one so hard

Netflix, we need more Kit and Joe interviews to survive till season 2. MORE INTERVIEWS NOW!

I guess it would be too awkward to say that their favorite scenes were the kissing scenes??? Well, I’ll say it! They were my favorite scenes. I thought they were done so tastefully. And you didn’t feel ashamed after. I actually loved the way they embraced one another. To me it felt like a lot of pinned up stress that was released once they touched one another. Another favorite scene was the closing scene of season one at the beach. Nick racing toward the ocean screaming “were boyfriends!” And then the last shot of season 1 with Nick and Charlie in each other’s arms lying on the beach. I’ll never forget that image.

Im a 30 year old gay guy and this is the first show in years that made me feel butterflies again in such a long time. I loved every moment of this show. I laughed, I cried, I screamed. The on screen chemistry is on point. Made me feel like a teen again

i just binge-watched all eight episodes and their on-screen chemistry is just *mwah* i would watch a million episodes of Heartstopper

I think it's very impressive that at their age they managed to portray such emotionally-mature roles and a bunch of kiss scenes. From my personal movie experience, younger actors usually don't get so many usually (usually like one of two awkward kisses when they are meant to act embarrassed), and I'm always impressed when younger actors can portray emotional roles well.

It's ridiculous how much Kit reminds me of Taron Egerton... even their voices sound the same. Both insanely talented too

the casting on this show is absolute perfection. each actor embodied their character in the most spectacular way that truly shows heartstopper brought to life. it feels odd to be incredibly proud of people who don’t know of my existence, but i am, along with so many others. i can not wait to watch this show/cast expand and i can not wait to see if we get a season two and what they will bring us!

loved this show and loved them. could not have imagined better people to portray nick and charlie

the way joe is watching kit w so much affection when kit is explaining his audition process. they have such good chemistry and trust and friendship.

i think joe did such a good job of portraying charlie literally no one could have been better

Joe (Charlie) is good but it's Kit's (Nick) acting that really stood out for me. You could really feel the struggle of that head jock archetype with an unconventional attraction and everything that comes with that. Kit delivered really well.

I must say that the British teens' movie is the best. the casting on this series is so spot on. they look like teenagers not like American series that cast adults to play a high schoolers. I really love how the story goes. I know there're some books or series with a similar story but I just really love this series so much. as a person who was bullied from elementary school to high school just because I was kinda feminine and did not act like a normal boy I get it what Charlie must feel until some point I get used to getting bullied. I wish i can have a relationship like charlie and Nick, but to bad being a gay in my country is like a crime. so i always love to see a happy ending in a show.

9:07 my dumb brain immediately thought "Appearance"

This show made be feel butterflies I haven’t felt since middle and high school and I’m 28 this truly a cute and amazing show. Randomly clicked on it and finished it on one sitting.

Y'all weren't kidding when people said that Young Royals and Heartstopper fandoms consists of the same people😂😂

I'm glad that they are actual teens portraying teens, and they really looked like their characters in the comic book

Joe Locke did a impeccable performance to portray Charlie and he's so adorable and handsome too...

My favorite part of this was when Kit said he knows a couple of French words, then after a short pause he just goes: *oui*

Joe Locke did a great job at all the scenes, especially Charlie's awkward smiles, he got all if em🤧

The saddest part for me with Heartstopper is that it came out mere days ago and I already want a season two, knowing that it won’t be for a loooong time and it kills me, because nothing gives me the same feeling that this show does. So I’ll sit and rewatch it every day until we have a new season. :)

I didn’t think I could possibly love the actors as much as their characters, but here we are 🥰

So much respect for Kit and Joe!

I love that several of the comments were obviously written by young royal fans 😅❤️ I’m guessing there’ll be a lot of overlap between the fandoms hahahah

i binged the series as soon as it was released and i will definitely be rewatching it multiple times!! these two are the best nick & charlie ever :,)

43 here. Cried throughout like a baby. I found the screenplay as it unfolded to be predictable, but I did not care. I was so invested. Kits performance in the episode 'Boyfriend' was AMAZING! He is a fine actor, and I look forward to seeing more of him as he further develops into a man in the future. That scene with Olivia Coleman at the dining table was one of the most heartwarming scenes I have seen. I wish that was my experience coming out. I was told the god invented Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve story. Times are different now. But still very difficult for many. For those LGBTI+ peoples emerging through self identification, I wish you all the luck in the world finding your place, finding your Nick, finding your Charlie, finding your people... For those who do not have supportive or understanding and loving family and friends, find strength in your respect and love for yourself. Steadfast! xo

My husband and I have watched this show....and rewatched it.....and rewatched it. It is so wonderful to be reminded of how wonderful it is to know and fall for another person! This show just makes us smile with joy for them both.

The episode where “Nick” is looking more into being gay and all his thoughts about, it made me tear up as it reminded me of my teenage years where I went through exactly the same. I had a very open talk with my mom about not knowing and I asked her if I was ok and if she’d but ok if I came home with a girl and she said “I’d love you no matter and you’re just perfect”. To this day I still get confused, but have never been with any gender. My mom is not here any more and the rest of the family is very homofobic. My friends how ever is not and they know. Thank you for having made a show so educational and close to how it is going through the transform, being confused and worried about the world reactions.

I love how Kit bullies Joe sm but whenever Joe talks he just smiles and looks at him they’re literally amazing help 😭😭😭

Kit Connor was the perfect Nick Nelson! The popular boy who’s still a big softie!! Joe is LITERALLY Charlie Spring!! Everything Joe likes his character would like as well! Kit pulling Joe’s leg is so funny😭😭😂

Lol 8:07 biblothek is german for library. I'm still glad he knows German!!

i was blown away when i learned this was Joe's first acting credit, he did so incredibly well i couldve sworn he had been acting for ages. absolutely phenomenal, i'm praying for season 2 so we get the Paris trip!!

Their chemistry is insane

26 and gay. the show reminded me how I felt whole figuring myself out at the age of 16. some scenes of nick trying to understand himself was too relatable to me. I loved how authentic the narration felt. the struggles. the confusion. I wish I had this show 10 years ago. when I felt alone and confused.

THIS should be the standard of casting, these actors did such an amazing job

Why is kit getting questions about the show and joe is being asked if he likes mini eggs?💀

Nick was already a walking green flag and Kit's portrayal of him made him the greenest of green flags. 😭💗 HE IS ADORABLE. A golden retriever boy indeed. Kit got the nuances of Nick's character down to the T. Actually, the whole cast did with their respective roles. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time !!

I'm just SO impressed by Kit Connor's performance I needed to say it somewhere; I hope people are telling him often enough! It just feels so great to be moved this deep by someone's acting. It's been a long time since I've felt every emotions of a character... Nick is so touching, and I feel so much love towards Kit Connor because he gave me so much joy to feel 💕 I wish him all the love & to be as happy as Nick was

"When I say slightly I mean significantly" is the best line ever no question

Kit Connor is everything

love that they genuinely hired teens and it was as relatable as ever, especially being british, on my second round of watching it already

I swear Joe has such a gorgeous smile I swear to god and his giggles, like is it just me??

THE WAY NICK AND JOE LOOKS AT EACHOTHER STOP

i just binged the whole series, and i can say that it's an absolute masterpiece!! definitely will be rewatching it multiple times :,)

“Do you know some french words?” Kit: “oui”

The more of these interviews I watch of Kit and Joe, I fall more and more in love with Joe. He seems such a sweet, lovely, decent, kind, warm young man. His voice is so sweet.

Joe Locke did an amazing job at playing Charlie spring with it being his first acting role

Laughing so much at how so many of the usernames are young royals related, it does feel like the closest show to heartstopper in many ways!

WE NEED ANOTHER SEASON ASAP! The story, the cast, the editing, everything about it was just PHENOMENAL ❤️

Nick is definitely my favorite character in Nelson. The reason is because how sweet and innocent he is, and the scene where he hugs Charlie and cries, was really really emotional and beautiful and genuine. He just is so caring and such an amazing character. Kit is such an incredible actor.

Kits facial expressions are hilarious. Love these two so much

as i was reading the graphic novel, i genuinely fell in love with nick as a character and how he was, but the way kit puts so much more emotion to the scenes and the genuine aspect of nick nelson.. such a beautiful character. i think whoever casted this whole series deserves an award.

The fact that Kit likes to play “Love Story” made my day!!

Joe said he is lactose intolerant at 12:23 - so this must mean all the coffee he drinks must be black coffee. Wow, no wonder Kit said Joe smelt of coffee when he kissed him.

8:25 "quat-re dix-... something like that" literally dying 💀

I watched this show in like a sitting, couldn’t stop for a bit, is soooo beautiful, and being a bisexual myself is really nice how they portrait how troubled we can get, and specially how late we can realize it and that’s okey! I was boiling when Nick is telling Imogen how you sometimes do stuff cause people expects you to, and ALSO is like so relatable cause as Charlie I also feel most of the time, how my existence is troubling for the people I care 🥺😍 obsessed w it…I’ll probably most definitely make it my comfort rewatch show❤️✨

I’m mad. That I finished the series in one single night and this is my entire personality for the next few months, I NEED MORE!

binged all 8 episodes in one night! absolutely love it. It’s different from what i usually watch but no regrets. easily one of my favourite netflix series, i already ordered the books and can’t wait for seasons 2 and 3. currently watching all the interviews and behind the scenes ❤️

I just wanted to vent this out that Joe literally did an amazing job portraying Charlie. He's a really really great and phenomenal actor. Also wanted to let Kit know that he's so handsome and perfect as Nick!

they’re both so perfect for this…im still not over how everyone is actually the real life version of their characters

nah but the fact kit looks EXACTLY like how the author draws him in the story is just, AGHHH

10:00 so thoughtful 🥺

You can tell kit and Joe have this connection like siblings. It's sweet

11:59 "which character would you like to play except yours" Kit Connor: Choose the other character who also kisses Joe

I finished watching the entire season in one day and immediately felt like watching it again. There’s just something so special and heartwarming about this show. The casting, the writing, the music throughout was all perfection. I really hope we get a season 2.

they both make me smile so much, i've literally been smiling for 13 minutes straight and now my cheeks hurt 🤣

This show made me cry. It’s such a beautiful depiction of what being gay is. And the actors were amazing. Love this show sm

the three dislikes are definitely ben, harry, and david

i literally just watched all 8 episodes straight and i have no regrets! we NEED a season 2!!!!!

He is fantastic as Charlie. It’s literally him in real life.

Heartstopper was a random Netflix recommendation I just clicked on because I wanted to watch something warm and fluffy, and now I've binged it four times in just as many days. I am in LOVE with the story, and the portrayal of the characters is just *cheff's kiss* I'm desperately wishing we'll see a season 2 of this. Please!!

Im actually impress at how well Kit pronounced the word ''bibliotheque'' . 10/10

Heartstopper was so adorable. My face hurt from all the smiling I did. The cast was perfect and did the original books justice

Can we take a moment of silence for kit coming out, being forced into coming out is so cruel. I hope they feel better.

Love Kit saying the other character he'd play would be Ben. Ambitious acting there!

gave myself a proper heart attack while watching this bc they answered my question.. thanks netflix!!

3:18 I would call it a “Warm Vanilla Cupcake”. Heartstopper is in the genre of LGBT romance webtoon where it’s warm and familiar in romance but sweet and fluffy in the way they tackle obstacles and challenges with sexuality or relationship dynamics

Can’t wait for these interviews for s2

They have been casted perfectly. They are the embodiment of Nick and Charlie! N + C forever ❤️
