Heartstopper’s Joe Locke has opened up about the consequences of his recent stardom, admitting he feels “a weird guilt” about how it has also affected his family’s lives.
The 19-year-old Manx actor shot to fame starring as openly gay schoolboy Charlie, who falls in love with popular rugby boy Nick (Kit Connor), in Netflix’s fan-favourite series. The show, which has been lauded by the LGBT+ community for its representation, is based on Alice Oseman’s webcomic and graphic novels of the same name.
