As a 73 year old queer guy who has watched Heartstopper numerous times, these stellar young men give me hope that a meaningful future is certainly possible for this crazy mixed-up world. Thanks to them and the interviewer for this beautiful presentation of hope and love.
@@TDM1165 - you could have written that for me! Exactly my situation as well. I had a HUGE crush on a boy who was 1 year younger than me at school and it happened just before I left school and left home to start my working career in an engineering environment (you can't get more of a homophobic situation than working with engineers). That first 3 months that I was away from home and the school (late 1969) was so torturous knowing that I would never set eyes on him ever again. Talk about love hurts .... well that's an understatement to say the least. It took many years to get over him! If I'm honest, the memories came flooding back when viewing the latest 2nd season of 'Young Royals' recently with the love situation between the two main protagonists. I can really relate to the pain that Wilhelm goes through with his love for Simon. Slightly different situation there of course, but the feelings are the same. My case was even worse, because there was zero reciprocation of love between myself and my school love interest. That's why shows like 'Heartstopper' and 'Young Royals' are SO important to be made these days with the hope that situations like mine will be less likely to happen for future generations.
55 yo bisexual Gramma here (*see my comment). I'm embarrassed how many times I've watched "Heartstopper" and I'm known in my family for repeated viewings and readings. I think it's partly because it's such a short series, not even 4 hours I think, and I want more time with these characters.
I enjoyed hearing both Kit's and Joe's answers to the questions. They showed great empathy and knowledge about their characters, which is shown in their performances. I cannot wait for season and season three.
i have truly never seen more beautiful people in my whole life, they are both so pretty while being such lovely people. thank you both for being such amazing role models ❤️
The proof that Joe and Kit are both exceptional people is that now, 6 months later, they're still patiently enduring interviews where many of the questions are unoriginal fangirling. (Oooh, what was the casting process like? zzzzzzz.) Heartstopper has dozens of priceless moments, each of which could potentially birth a spirited discussion -- or at least make the actors say 'wow, that's a really good question'. Yet hardly any interviewers bother making that effort.
Yep i thought the same most of fans know all about they're very patient even it's part of their job i'm surprised they accepted this interview while filming there some interviews and interwievers much more interesting with right and smart questions they kindly answered i'm very impressed seeing how humble kit is he's in the industry since TEN YEARS but did'nt emphazied it in front of Joe who only debuted since like 18 months first job acting
I mean this is kind of a different interview type. They're not promoting the show, they're talking to Gold Derby because they have an awards audience and Joe/Kit wanted Emmy nominations. They were asked about the casting, Alice's writing, and both of their performances - those were the areas Netflix submitted Heartstopper for the Emmys, and it was probably made clear that's what they wanted to promote. This is an interview for older Emmy voters that don't know who tf these people are and haven't been watching every Buzzfeed/Netflix PR video that was put out earlier in the year - ya know?
@@mattwalker786 That's hard to accept. Questions like "were there a lot of callbacks" or "what are some meaningful fan reactions" or "what inspired you to become actors" hardly seem pivotal for Emmy consideration. Awards are supposed to recognize the product, not the buzz.
I absolutely love Heartstopper!! I recently came out as bisexual this year on the 1st day of pride month thanks to heartstopper but especially Kit Connors character Nick Nelson. He gave me the courage to come out after hiding who I really am since middle school. Thank you Kit for portraying such a beautiful, strong, inspiring and life changing character💙 I could not have gotten the courage without you and now I have never been so comfortable in my skin and I finally feel free and confident and I can finally say I am not afraid to be the real me!! I cannot be more grateful!! I would absolutely love to meet the heartstopper cast one day and tell them how much I appreciate everything they are doing for the LGBTQIA+ community and how they have changed not just my life but so many peoples lives!! I love the fact that the show has become my safe space and a huge part of my life. I can’t wait for seasons 2+3 and hopefully 4+ as well 💙💛
I do wish people would stop asking them about their audition process. They’ve answered the question at least 100 times since they started doing Promo for the show. I hope when they do promos for season two, that the interviewers ask more original questions, and not the same ones, over and over again. Hell, I could tell you both of their addition processes, there’s just way more interesting questions to ask that haven’t been asked yet. But you gotta give credit to them, they never look bored, and are always gracious.
Oh god. Thanks for meantioning that. I totally agree. The questions weren't really special or new - but as always Kit's and Joe's answers were open and full of deep thoughts. And both their demeanour and interactions (which we sadly got to see so less) were adorable as always.. 🧡
Fully agree. I haven't seen many cast interviews for other shows, so I can't gauge whether it's the norm, but it's really annoying when interviewers put so little effort into their questions, offering only pablum. In this clip and many others, it almost feels like the interviewer hasn't watched the show. What other explanation could there be?
„One of the hardest things for me is having to like you know be in front of people in real life and be myself and you know not play a character.“ Kit Connor „I may seem very extroverted to some people but I’m actually not at all and every social interaction terrifies me, so the idea of being someone else for a while and telling someone else’s story is really nice and I always want to be an actor when I was younger because I loved escaping my small town live and being someone else and whatever I wanted to be in the world […].“ Joe Locke I love and appreciate how they talk about their struggles. 🙌🏻❤
Kit connor: "I've never been the most confident" "it's hard to be myself in front of people" !!!! More people need to hear this esp those in the Fandom who have this inaccurate image of him as cocky dude!! yes he's started acting when he's kid and independent, but it's clear Kit has a lot of insecurities! Remember he's just turned 18 he's just like any 18 yo he have insecurities struggles with may thing , still figuring himself, what he like & what he want to be in the future etc ! Also he's clearly perfectionist and overthinker & have a lot of thoughts and insecurities that many still don't know about ! Anyway yall should just be kinder and Treat them all with Respect and Stop making up lies and false bs about them and create false image, just let them be they still so young figuring life and themselves
@Est. 1888 ???!! What!! I'm talking how he have insecurities just like most 18 yo !! Anyone who watch their interviews can see that clearly! Also I'm talking about how some weird fans has a false image of him as cocky dude just based on his looks, like they see him as cocky jock when it's not true at all everyone who met kit including his co stars Said he's the nicest most humble kid they ever met and he's literally like golden retriever. so I'm just telling everyone to be kinder and not to make up lies and false images that's it !
As someone who identified for the most part of their lives as just being queer it's been quite a journey. Heartstopper - and espacially Nicks character - has shown me that I just love people. Gender is of no importance to me. Boy, girl,... I just fall in love with a person. Thank you Kit for eliminating all those questions like 'am I too gay for being straight? OR am I too straight for being gay?' . Love is just love... Right? I wish you all the love you deserve and thank you for being as brave as you were. xxx
Love this, but i wish you would've let them both be on screen for the entire interview, as a big part of the enjoyment is to watch them react to what each other are saying! That's why interviews get a lot of views - we love to see the interaction between actors with great chemistry, even if it's just facial expressions.
Could not agree more! Seeing them react to each other’s answers is one of the best things. I was disappointed when this switched one of them at a time in the screen.
So much love for kit Connor & joe Locke especially after the hard week they had my daughter as a 15 year old now out as bisexual because of HEARTSTOPPER! I owe a lot to them and Alice .. look forward to watching s2 with my daughter and my son so proud 🏳️🌈
at 63 and queer and having lived with the same person since I was 23 I love to see how all the young cast of heartstopper feel more confutable than in my day the show has done so much.
Joe and I a lot of the case being cast from the open call is pretty impressive. They really found great, "unknown" actors who could fit the characters so well. I suspect Kit will go on to incredible levels of success of course but the rest of the cast are absolutely great actors as well.
The amount of impact this show has had on my life is crazy as a young queer person I felt so isolated in my experience and just really ready to give up but this show has really showed me how not alone I am and I can never really express how much this show means to me ❤
First, the host of the show did a phenomenal job on interviewing these two young guys. My hats off to your skills, technic and how you asked the question. As for Joe&Kit you both did a great job in answering all the question. Answering them with poses, realism and total confidence , good job. With warmth and integrity all was SPOT on. Just loved the whole thing. HEART STOPPERS TRULY IS IN A LEAGUE OF IT'S OWN, Adding SAFETY TO THE HEART OF A WORLD Going SO different today.Joe&Kit you two young brothers are plain straight up AWESOME & REAL AS REAL CAN GET.STAY TRUE TO ALL YOU BOTH BELIEVE AND KEEP YOUR FRIENDSHIP WITH LOYALTY, TRUST AND LOVE. BOTH are HANDSOME 🌱 YOUNG(MEN) BROS. ❤️💯
I'm so proud of both of them! heartstopper gives me such a exciting and happy vibe, I don't know how to explain it, It's like, iT makes me proud of what and who i am. I remember after the first few times watching the show I didn't know what to do with myself! I wanted to scream out of pure happiness because i felt this rush of pride take over me and i've felt it every time i've re-watched the show. I'm excited for what season two will bring and I can't wait to see what else these young actors can offer, I wish them happiness and success for everything they've done for us :) lots of love from Peru xx
Wonderful series, adorable characters; congratulations on your well-deserved second series. This experience differs so much from my schooldays 60 years ago, it’s overwhelming.
The two are the realist people I have ever seen in a to show. It’s so so refreshing to have them as a role model but also to the a change towards realism in the TV industry. Thank you for this amazing interview as well. You clearly gave them time to process the question and answer to every one. Like there was no pressure on uncomfortable topics. ❤
Really beautiful interview. I love the heart centered, genuine responses of Kit and Joe. Truly wonderful role models especially for the youth, but really for all ages. Lovely people - for real and their characters. We need this show in our world.
I found out about the series a little later than everyone else, but I was enthraled with the story and characters and still am. The representation and passion the cast has is incredible and admirable for bringing the story to life on screen. I would love to meet them one day to tell them in person, but I do appreciate the cast and crew for bringing us so much love in this project 💖
They are just a joy, especially Kit. I could listen to him talk all day long. He's the type of person where you just genuinely want to listen to them speak and what they have to say. He's a very lovely individual.
I'm 55 and I can only wish I could be so well-spoken when speaking with strangers. I'm constantly amazed by how poised these two teenagers are. I was such a dork and that age and that is speaking as someone who had a baby at 20. No regrets, by the way. I love my kids and their Dad and we've had a very blessed 35+ years together. It's slightly bittersweet for me in that my queer identity as a bisexual has been essentially erased for me but the people who matter know and have always known, more or less. Certainly, my husband knew from when we were teenagers and not even dating yet.
A truly wonderful and sweet interview. Both of these actors are kind, caring and very humble. I am excited to see the next seasons of Heartstopper and whatever comes next for them. Thanks for this video. 💕
I watched this movie for more than 10 times. I love it so much. Not only the actors are so talented but they are so mature in answering the questions and handling the interviews. So proud of you guys.💚
As a 55 year old Bi male to me this is brilliant finally a real representation of what life was like … confused cause you got turned on by both girls and boys and then there’ll of the David syndrome….be real your just gay admit it … like Kit said why do people think they know how I feel better than I do ! I have listened to the same bull from people for 40 + years . Why is it so hard to believe I like tacos and eggplant both. Sometimes even together !
Recently one of the younger fans of this series called my old, in jest of course, but yeah, 30 years ago we did not have shows really explicitly focused on LGBTQ²IP²SNA²+ characters. Round 2000, there was Queer As Folk UK and a US version. Addressing mainly an adult audience, I didn't really felt that comfortable with the storytelling. Anyway, I'm happy, we all get this good little story about young people and how they handle their identities... It's just such a huge and welcomed progress! ❤️👍
Heartstopper and QAF aren’t really that comparable; yes they both deal with homophobia and self-acceptance but the shows are entirely different with different intended audiences as you said
This show gives so much perspective on how queer people feel. I myself am not queer. But it has given me a sense of perspective on how some people feel. I feel like I’m not allowed to like this show cause I’m straight but idk. I love how it shows real life situations
It’s a romantic, comedic, realistic, honest show that happens to revolve around non-straight teens. You being straight has nothing to do with it. You’re absolutely entitled to love it and appreciate it and be entertained by it. Happy to hear you are!
I'm not queer either, and I sort of feel the same (also, I'm 50 years old, so I guess it's not really targeted at me) but I'm also disabled so I am part of a different minority group so I feel like there are some elements of it that I can really relate to in terms of people maybe seeing me as being different and not fitting in. Just having a difficult time finding my own identity and figuring out where I belong because of how disabled people in general are perceived in society. And also, I think anything that gives you a better understanding of other people is always a good thing - and Heartstopper does that, right? So I guess it's OK for us to be fans because understanding these issues makes us better human beings, maybe...? And becoming a better person is never a bad thing, right...?
I genuinely believe I would’ve cried if kit got charlie instead of nick because he just is nick and joe just is charlie, they literally just are their characters
I fortunately to find this series from the article that Kit was forced to come out, which wasn't good in a way. I saw the whole season in that few hours..great heart warming show.
I have enjoyed the show and support it as I believe that no one can dictate who anyone can and cannot love, especially religion. However, there have been reports recently that attacks on so-called queer people have increased, probably due to exposure from shows like Heartstopper and The Young Royals. I hope this does not stop people finding themselves, but they should be aware of this!
as an Elder in the LGBTQ+ community and someone who has never been outwardly gay, I sometimes wonder if I have done anything toward the notion that ALL people deserve to love and be loved..... Going back over my life, I can proudly say, "yes I have", I have promoted freedom for all people and in such have furthered our community to help to enjoy the richness of our community being able to have a TV series like this. Every time one of our community fight for equality, stand proud as ourselves, express our desire to either 'come-out or not', we chip one more piece off that block of hatred, bigotry and intolerance. As both Kit and Joe have shown us...there is still a battle out there for the day when everyone has a right to love and be loved without fear of attack......A day when a young fella can really go up to a bloke he's interested in and say..."I like you", without being beaten, scorned or abused....however it is up to stories like this, the other LGBTQ+ stories out there and every single member of the LGBTQ+ community to simply live their lives with the belief that we all have the right to love and be loved.....
My goodness they are lovely. I’m afraid that there are places in the world which will need much more than several seasons of this beautiful little British show to change their ways. Netflix can’t really compete with their holy doctrine.
As a 73 year old queer guy who has watched Heartstopper numerous times, these stellar young men give me hope that a meaningful future is certainly possible for this crazy mixed-up world. Thanks to them and the interviewer for this beautiful presentation of hope and love.

Anyway, I'm happy, we all get this good little story about young people and how they handle their identities... It's just such a huge and welcomed progress! ❤️👍
Heartstopper and QAF aren’t really that comparable; yes they both deal with homophobia and self-acceptance but the shows are entirely different with different intended audiences as you said
Kit Connor 's smile melts me, and reminds me of someone from my younger days,,,, Heartstopper is so great...
These young men are so special to so many they really made a difference in this world
I LOVE THEM SMMMM
Would’ve loved to have seen both Kit and Joe on the screen at the same time, so we can see their reactions etc!
Joe and Kit are great...wish i could meet them
I LOVE YOU JOE 💖
Same questions, their answers we already knew. Be more creative with questions 🙄
Such amazing role models and they have definitely changed my life. Love them so much ❤
I wanna see Kits audition tape for Charlie 🤣
Me too!!!
I think the question for the ages going through Kit and Joe's minds is: " who will answer this question first?"
love Kit Connor ❤
There smiles at each other
LOVE THEMM
Love these two 😭
i love them sm
They become more adorable with every interview
I love them sm omg
This show gives so much perspective on how queer people feel. I myself am not queer. But it has given me a sense of perspective on how some people feel. I feel like I’m not allowed to like this show cause I’m straight but idk. I love how it shows real life situations
It’s a romantic, comedic, realistic, honest show that happens to revolve around non-straight teens. You being straight has nothing to do with it. You’re absolutely entitled to love it and appreciate it and be entertained by it. Happy to hear you are!
I'm not queer either, and I sort of feel the same (also, I'm 50 years old, so I guess it's not really targeted at me) but I'm also disabled so I am part of a different minority group so I feel like there are some elements of it that I can really relate to in terms of people maybe seeing me as being different and not fitting in. Just having a difficult time finding my own identity and figuring out where I belong because of how disabled people in general are perceived in society. And also, I think anything that gives you a better understanding of other people is always a good thing - and Heartstopper does that, right? So I guess it's OK for us to be fans because understanding these issues makes us better human beings, maybe...? And becoming a better person is never a bad thing, right...?
I love you joe
I wish Kit only the best from here on out. I hope he’s okay 💔
I feel like they picked the perfect cast
I love HeartStopper!!!!!!!!!!! Kit and Joe are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💕💕💕💕💖💖💖💖❤❤❤❤😘😘
I genuinely believe I would’ve cried if kit got charlie instead of nick because he just is nick and joe just is charlie, they literally just are their characters
Eu amo eles com todas as minhas forças! 💖💖🥺
I fortunately to find this series from the article that Kit was forced to come out, which wasn't good in a way. I saw the whole season in that few hours..great heart warming show.
Me too, I watched the ENTIRE series, all in one night🎉
I absolutely adore kit and Joe 😭❤️ I can’t wait for the new season ❤️
Kiss to both of them! I can't wait for Season 2!
Its a shame they made such a thought provokingly beautiful thing, and many who watched it learned ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Kit: "it's been an absolute pleasure." He is so polite!
Joe...i love
Is Amazing baby
Okay, they are so cutes🥺🥺
Enamorada de ellos 👑👑🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍🛐🛐🛐 kit y Joe 🥰💞
I have enjoyed the show and support it as I believe that no one can dictate who anyone can and cannot love, especially religion.
However, there have been reports recently that attacks on so-called queer people have increased, probably due to exposure from shows like Heartstopper and The Young Royals. I hope this does not stop people finding themselves, but they should be aware of this!
as an Elder in the LGBTQ+ community and someone who has never been outwardly gay, I sometimes wonder if I have done anything toward the notion that ALL people deserve to love and be loved.....
Going back over my life, I can proudly say, "yes I have", I have promoted freedom for all people and in such have furthered our community to help to enjoy the richness of our community being able to have a TV series like this.
Every time one of our community fight for equality, stand proud as ourselves, express our desire to either 'come-out or not', we chip one more piece off that block of hatred, bigotry and intolerance.
As both Kit and Joe have shown us...there is still a battle out there for the day when everyone has a right to love and be loved without fear of attack......A day when a young fella can really go up to a bloke he's interested in and say..."I like you", without being beaten, scorned or abused....however it is up to stories like this, the other LGBTQ+ stories out there and every single member of the LGBTQ+ community to simply live their lives with the belief that we all have the right to love and be loved.....
Joe at 13.47: "yeah you can go first" *sniggers in vers*
❤️❤️❤️
denle mas laburo a joe por favorrr se merece todo

What a delight these two guys are, beautiful ❤️ souls, and I wish them both the very best.🏳️🌈👌😁
12:17 they knew it
I love this show
Dear Boys, Kit and Joe, I LOVE YOU!
My goodness they are lovely. I’m afraid that there are places in the world which will need much more than several seasons of this beautiful little British show to change their ways. Netflix can’t really compete with their holy doctrine.
my loves
I'm not gay or bi but in this day and age I can't believe there's still homophobic people out there.
That actually makes me sad to hear Kit say it is hard to be himself when meeting someone face to face.
When Kit said that playing a character gives you a security blanket, I immediately thought of drag lol
