The actor has taken Netflix by storm with his performance in Heartstopper
Heartstopper star Kit Connor has expertly shut down speculation surrounding his sexuality. The 18-year-old actor has become a household name with the success of Heartstopper on Netflix, which has quickly climbed the charts and captivated audiences. The series, based on the novels by Alice Oseman, has been praised as a revolutionary coming-of-age show for the LGBTQ+ community.
In Heartstopper, Kit plays the role of Nick Nelson, who develops a crush on his friend Charlie Spring, played by Joe Locke. The show beautifully explores their journey of self-discovery and the challenges they face in keeping their relationship secret.
Since the show's release, many fans have expressed their admiration for the authentic queer and trans storytelling. However, this has also led to speculation about the actors' own sexualities, as they portray LGBTQ+ characters on screen.
Kit took to Twitter to address these rumors in a lighthearted manner. He humorously stated, "Twitter is so funny, man. Apparently, some people on here know my sexuality better than I do…" Fans quickly rallied behind him, reminding everyone that it is not right to assume someone's sexuality based on their roles.
One supporter tweeted, "Your sexuality is your own and no one else's. It's your right to choose when, where, and how you want to speak about it. Don't let anyone intimidate you into crossing your own boundaries because it's not worth it." Another reassured Kit, "You don't owe an explanation to anyone! That goes for everyone out there!"

Kit's co-star, Joe Locke, also emphasized the importance of being mindful of what is shared on social media. He highlighted that they often come across hurtful comments and negative opinions. Despite this, the young actors remain strong and committed to their craft.
With the immense success of Heartstopper's first season, fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation of a second season. Actors Yasmin Finney and William Gao, who play Elle and Will respectively, have hinted at a blossoming romance between their characters. They are aware that viewers are eagerly anticipating their relationship to develop further.
Netflix, if you're listening, please give us news about Season 2 soon! We can't wait to see the next chapter of Heartstopper unfold. In the meantime, you can stream the first season on Netflix and immerse yourself in this heartwarming and relatable series.
