The stars of Netflix’s latest teen romance show have shared some advice for young LGBTQIA+ people.
Heartstopper’s Joe Locke and Kit Connor, who act as the show’s two main characters, Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson, stressed the importance of self-love and acceptance.
The critically acclaimed show focuses on 14-year-old Charlie as he navigates through life and deals with his crush on popular rugby jock Nick. The schoolboys learn their unlikely friendship might be something more than just a friendship. The eight-episode teen drama, based on the popular graphic novels by Alice Oseman, has been applauded for its positive queer representation and relatability.
