- 'Heartstopper' star Kit Connor opens up to Brief Take about how he originally auditioned to play Charlie Spring on the Netflix series. Kit also talks about bonding with his co-stars (including Joe Locke & Sebastian Croft), how moved he is by the 'Heartstopper' fans around the world (especially when he received sweet birthday messages), what it was like acting with the legendary Olivia Colman (*whose identity we couldn't reveal at the time of this interview*), why he loves the music Baby Queen contributed to the soundtrack, and much more!

loved this interview with kit, he was so amazing as nick !! i love heartstopper sm 💖🌈
same, I’m so emotionally attached to the show.
i love the show is so perfect
shit I have a boy kit crush
No way he's only 18. He's so articulate, thoughtful, and mature. What a wonderful casting choice.
he's 18?!!!
@@olivetomatopizza 2004!
@@alma0273 omg 😭 the casting in this makes me want to cry it's so perfect
@@olivetomatopizza yep. Crazy
THERES NO WAY HE'S 18!!!! 😮
I luv how they got actual teenagers for a teenage series
Kit audicioning for Charlie is the most Nick thing i've ever seen, he's literally perfect for the role.
haha!
true though!
Imagine kit saying “arent i too small and weak to play rugby”💀
@@julierpedersen1446 lmaoooo
HAHAHAHA IT IS!!!
kit as nick is uncanny. they give off the same vibes and even look ALMOST identical 😭
almost?
@@rivergleeson954 they obviously have some different facial features so it’s almost :)
@@rivergleeson954 i think they mean nick in the books vs nick in the show
Exactlyyy idk how he decided to audition for charlie's role when he's perfect for nick
@@kristangrande8338 i read in an interview he said he didnt know how he got the part because nick is a little taller in the books and more muscular so maybe thats why he decided to audition for charlie instead
'a little bit better for nick'? Dude, you're perfect for playing nick
Ya
the fact that he said that legit proves he's the best choice for Nick pffff
I SAID THE EXACT SAME THING! 😂
kit connor bodiieeeeddd that role. he literally is nick nelson and his acting is fucking excellent i can't get over it, couldn't criticise a single thing, couldn't imagine anyone else as nick
I feel the same way, his acting was so authentic it moved me to tears several times and I barely ever cry. Really fell in love with Nick's character so quickly because of the amazing portrayal
I won't be surprised if he ends up with a very successful acting career. Great talent.
It’s award winning to me, honestly. I really hope him or Yazmin get a nomination for something, I think she was equally perfect for her role too.
He’s one of the best actors I’ve seen in so long genuinely.
Omgggg ikr?!!! We should be friends
he speaks so well i’m so glad he was chose to play the role of nick. he’s the perfect cast for nick. literally so identical
His facial expressions throughout the show were incredible, pain, happiness, confusion, his acting is amazing! Hoping to see more 💙💙
There is something really special about an actor who can speak without saying a word. Everything about his portrayal was special and I hope that he has a long career ahead of him. He has a natural acting ability that most actors don't possess.
Completely agree. I would say he deserves an Emmy nomination for this. He was that good.
@@lifePaultheball he should
That is one of the parts I thought he did so great, was the expressions on his face and the acting.
@@lifePaultheball if he's not nominated, it'll be an outrage! He's amazing... ❤️
the fact he’s only 18. he’s so intelligent and articulate and incredibly talented for his age, he’s so heartwarming too and seems like such a sweetheart. he’s gonna go places i know it.
I’m not kidding, I’ve watched heartstopper more than 10 times over the past week and all of kits facial expressions and reactions still give me chills. He’s the best possible person for this role I literally can’t imagine anyone else, none of the fancasts I’ve seen have even slightly measured up. Seriously love this show so much it made me cry throughout the whole thing. When I was like 12-15 I was watching international movies on illegal websites because America had no real gay movies where we’re the main characters and we have real stories and happy endings, even those were sad and slow burn stories. I can’t believe how lucky we are to have this sort of thing be produced on Netflix right now I can’t even put into words how cool this is 😭 I can’t stop watching it because this feels like a dream
yeah, i agree! especially the scene where nick runs to charlie’s in the rain, and he’s talking about being so confused. i related to that a lot and kit did that scene perfectly, it made me cry.
Earlier I felt like the fact that I've watched it all the way through 4 times was a bit excessive. Now I feel like a slacker.
im definitely in the same boat as you i just rewatched it for the 15th time
Oh my god, same! *sobbing* I love him so much and this series has helped me realize so much about myself! He is the perfect actor for this role. I have all of the songs from the series in my playlist and pics of them as my phone backgrounds... I'm obsessed. One of my favorite scenes is the rain scene. Also, when Tara and Darcy kiss at the party to "Clearest Blue" oh my godddd the SHIVERS! I cry every time I hear the song :')
Agree with you on this. I rewatch Heartstopper many times for different reasons but my 5th one is dedicated solely to appreciate Kit's acting as Nick. He is so good!
what a great description, "not a show you watch but a show you feel" definitely should be the show tagline
He is the perfect Nick Nelson. Nick is So important to us bisexuals fans. He is such an amazing character and he touched so many people. I was particularly scared about his irl adaptation, and I was ready to be a bit disappointed to be honest but Kit did a beautiful job! You can feel how much respect and love he has for his character and the story. He is brilliant (and God, so young). I'm so glad Alice and the casting team found this boy, feels a bit like fate.
Even if i‘m not gay or bi, this show did something with me. I‘ve rewatched it for like 8 times in one week. Its the most beautiful and heart warming show i‘ve ever seen and this will be my forever favorite thing in the world.
His jawline is the exact same as illustrated version of Nick. He is such a perfect Nick and I’ll never get over the perfection of this casting.
No doubt, every director in Hollywood and beyond has an eye on this kid. He is THAT special. Got all the ingredients-to be a massive star. Seems genuinely sweet as well. The sky is truly the limit.
Kit being Charlie would be so different
When you hear him speak you completely forget he just turned 18. He's so mature and articulate, I'm so impressed. I thought I was mature at 18 but hey, this is totally another level.
1:44 this man is literally THE embodiment of nick nelson . nobody can nick nelson as hard as kit does so it always shocks me how he auditioned for charlie
Kit originally auditioning for the role of Charlie is actually super funny and super Nick of him
Charles had some great questions. This is one of the best interviews ive seen. I definitely understood when he said you dont just watch Heart Stopper you feel it. That is so true ❤
Kit is a super star - such an articulate, intelligent guy, brilliant actor - The show is superb - Everyone has to watch this show. Bring on Season 2
When I was 18 I wasn’t even able to speak properly
This guy speaks as a mature and well educated man
He's the perfect Nick!! I can't even imagine someone else is playing Nick. Hoping for season 2!!! *\(^o^)/*
I’m thinking of getting the graphic novels, is it worth reading the first volume do you think?
@@xaviermorales4660 yeah it is just give it a try! i'm sure you'll love it!
@@elifbirsubahar okay because I love them so much, especially nick (such a sweetheart)
@@xaviermorales4660 hey i was checking my youtube notifications and saw your reply. it's been a month. did you like the books??? :)
The interviewer: 👁️👄👁️
I'm afraid he's not blinking 😂
I LITERALLY THOUGHT THE SAME THING😭
I don't understand why kit says hus hair doesn't look good cuz in my opinion his hair gives very strong 90s lead hero vibes like the iconic 90s hairstyle and i honestly swoon over it 😍😍😍 anyways Kit's hair looks absolutely fire and he's sooooo handsome , cute, well spoken and smart , always looking forward to this lad's work ☺️😉
I think Kit looks way better with the Nick Nelson side-part than with the center-part.
Eu tbm não entendo o fato dele não gostar do sorriso dele não vi uma foto dele sorrindo😞 temos q tirar isso dele mostrar q ele e perfeito do jeitinho que ele é 😍😍
The rain scene is my favorite. When Charlie opens the door and Nick is there in the rain drenched is beautiful
He’s so polite and humble and well-spoken? For only 18 he seems so mature and so lovely. I admire him so much!
This is the one show I have watched an unhealthy amount of times and still get the same twitterpatting feeling of being in love. From being happy to being extremely sad that I couldn’t be as brave as any of the characters during my chikdhood years, Heartstopper made me feel the emotions I kept bottled for so long as a closeted gay. I will definitely cry if they don’t get renewed for a second season.
I hope season 2 comes out soon and we don’t need to wait to long. I hope Nick and Charlie stay together.
It’s been signed on for 2 more seasons.
This interviewer is refreshing
Thank god they put kit for nick”s role but just imagine if he was playing in Charlie role and says “am I bit small and weak to play rugby 🥺” just- 😭💀
Kit was great in Rocketman. His performance in Heartstopper was even better. I'm very happy for him for the success and recognition that he's going to get from this.
They made the PERFECT decision when they gave him the role of Nick Nelson, I love the show so much it’s practically became a drug to me, I’ve watched it 5 times in a row.
seeing him in rocketman in like 2019 and now here is just like so amaizng coz he’s come so far. i loved him then and i love him even more now
Ikr! I've watched Kit in several films and shows before Heartstopper and he is so talented! He's always been one of my fave actors, so glad he got cast as Nick, he did such a superb job! ❤
Kit Connor surprised me. He was absolutely brilliant playing Nick. The moment he highlights at 08:28 can prove that! 💖
Olivia Colman is sublime. The rest of the cast are terrific and Kit and Joe are perfect. Thanks for the joy.
I don't read the book but Kit and Joe portray the role greatly. It's really well impact on my mental health since it's so hard to come out as LGBT
You should read the books!!! Its soooo good
@@Zeynep-ms2cx there's a book???? Or the graphic novel??? I want the book to read.
@@jeremybautista281 I think both of us should read it now. 😅😅😅
@@adibafham7823 right????????
@@jeremybautista281 oh i said book but its actually graphic novel but there is also novella called 'nick and charlie' but the heartstopper series is graphic novel :)
This actor is one to follow. He has a sweetness in the character he plays well. I look forward to following his career.
kit is just the perfect fit,, and the chemistry he shares with joe while filming is just identical to it in the comics,, 10/10 love this universe
kit is so lovely, he is definetly the perfect nick i love him sm
your profile name is everything
I love the way he expresses himself in all these interviews, he is super well spoken considering his age, he seems very mature. In terms of his acting, I thing he did amazing, I am in the process of coming out as bisexual and his performance in the show really encouraged me to keep going 💗💗
Kit was the only choice for Nick, he’s identical and played him SO well. Amazing. Sorry but I’m laughing at him auditioning for Charlie 💀
Boy is ready for bigger things, he has so much depth and passion cant wait to see him playing variety of roles.
Just finished watching the season, and it was such a beautiful show. Not gonna lie, I cried a lot, even at the end. Still crying. And like Seb and Carlos from High School Musical The Musical The Series, Nick and Charlie touched my heart and they helped me feel less alone, less invisible. Thank you Kit.
omg kit literally did a a amazing job being nick nelson 😫🤧
What I love so much about this is that not only because Kit is so articulate in his answers but the interviewer who also gave him such great and well researched questions! They’ve done a great job adaptating the comics and I believe lots of fans too can agree that the cast is perfect 💕 Can’t wait to see Kit (and of course other Heartstopper cast too!) in more roles in the future!
Kit is amazing in this series. He has the non verbal down. You can just see what the character is feeling through his facial expressions. He's really a great actor for being so young.
Such a talented actor! Everyone wants a partner to look at them the way these two looked at each other. They’re acting is flawless and the result is heartstopping. Bravo to the cast and crew!
The fact he's only 18 and he's very professional and good talker
dude kit is so cute in this but lets talk about how that interviewer guy blinked like twice during the whole vid
I can listen to him all day😭 his voice comforts me so bad
This kid is absolutely fantastic as an actor … the way he portrayed Nick actually brought a relatively average romantic drama to new heights … I was in awe for eight episodes …
Imagine Kit playing a twisted character as he wishes, can't wait to see more from him
hes so well spoken and so adorable aw. he seems like such genuinely kind person
He’s just beautiful… I feel like he’s such a genuine person
Kit, the things you do with your face when playing Nick are INCREDIBLE. Despite this being a completely different character it reminded me of Ian McKellen's Gandalf, who also carried so much of the story in his facial expressions. Great. Especially when you play Nick's confession at the beginning of episode 4 - it's all in your face: the confusion, the anguish, the wonder, the fear. The dialogue becomes unnecessary because your face says it all. But that's by far not the only scene. Also, I am really grateful that Nick was scripted this way that allowed you to play him in such an emotional way! Our movies are full of male characters with stern faces who shed the occasional lonely tear and then go back to business. In the way nick allows for and displays his feelings, he is a role model for boys and men of all ages and sexual orientation, I think. And you bring that across. It's when nick is the most emotional (und thus vulnerable in the traditional sense) that he is the strongest. Thanks a lot for this performance!
ive already seen the show twice already. cant wait for s2
He's watched Bridgerton?! Omg he is officially my favourite person
Kit was literally so cute in the role of Nick
He’s literally the perfect cast for Nick! His acting is amazing and he gets his expressions and feelings across so well it was such an amazing experience!! Especially in scenes where he was confused or just pained, it really showed so well!
what a delight of a human
I need someone like Nick/Kit for me 😍😍😍😍😍
same😭
Kit is a very well spoken young man. He has great talent and so much more to offer. Bravo!
Honeslty i could not imagine anyone else to play Nick then him!!
he talked about brazil 😭😭❤️
Ok ik everyone talking about how great he is but is anyone gonna talk about how cute he is?
Everyone is talking about how the cast is so good and I fully 100% agree! Kit really makes you feel as though he’s actually the emotions he’s feeling and he puts so much passion in his scenes! Of course everyone else was fantastic but he was a standout 🤩
I hope season 2 comes out soon and we don’t need to wait to long. I hope Nick and Charlie stay together.
Kit Connor is in addition to his great acting talent. He sounds a from all his interviews very great guy, moral, authentic and down to earth. In all his interviews he spoke nicley about other actors and credited all actors with who worked with him. He also very wise of not make the fame get in in his head. I hope to see him in more films and plays and playing Bond hopefully .
Kit NAILED his role, he’s such a talented & an incredible person !! ♥️♥️
I know someone giggles when kit auditions for charlie xx
I never thought I would fall in love with the series. It took me back decades ago to my high school memories like coming to terms with my identity, coming out to people who matter, dealing with the many issues that I faced and that many kids face today. These in turn, made me feel for the characters and eventually made me relate on an emotional level.
Kit Connor and Joe Locke are just incredibly talented and breathed a relatable life into the roles.
he’s so well spoken, the best person to play Nick!! he’s so lovely, i’ve loved his performance as Nick and i’m happy to see Kit again as him
Kit is literally Nick in real life♥️
they did it so so well. the best book to film adaptation ive ever seen
The way he hugged Charlie every time 🥺🥺🥺🥺😫😫😫😫😫
his sister must be so proud
11:30 start of talking about Olivia Colman and being starstruck 🤩
Great interview with Kit - "Heartstopper" is the most beautiful teenage love story I've ever seen! I hope it's renewed for a 2nd season.
It’s crazy seeing him come from rockets island, to David Williams film and now this huge project! The talent is insane!
ikr! he is so talented and made my childhood with these shows
he's such a great actor ❤️ and omg he's soooo handsome
Kit Connor is incredible, what a great job and talent this actor has and he is so young, God they are barely 18 years old, I want to especially highlight Connor's professionalism, maturity and artistic ability, damn, what an incredible performance he has given us in this series, is that I never get tired of seeing his scenes, they are so eloquent, exquisite, gesticulated, he puts love and coherence in all his dialogues with his movements and expressions, the way in which the corner of his lips and the frown on his forehead combine for impeccable artistic performance. He definitely has an impressive career ahead of him and he's just starting out, and gosh the British accent, I'm so dying to see more...!!!
Love from Costa Rica 🇨🇷❤
i think when kit gets to act as a villain, it's over for us, he's such a great actor, I can see him playing a twisted and deep character in the near future. Can't wait to see more of him as nick nelson tho! uwu
Nick Nelson is such a good, noble character. This is really one of the sweetest and best shows I’ve ever seen. I have loved watching every minute of it
The best Nick Nelson we could ever imagine ♥️♥️
i fell inlove just watching him in hearstopper. 😔🥰. I will patiently waiting for season 2
He is so well-spoken. And I've already watched the entire season now 3x. Looking forward to season 2.
SAMEE😩
Hell, I cried thought out the series in every episode all 8 times I binged it.
This was cathartic fir me, even after being out for 44 years.
The innocents of it washed over me and cleaned a lot of garbage out of my soul.
just binged this show & omg… well done to the creators. great writing & perfromances. all involved should be very proud 👏🏽
I hope season 2 comes out soon and we don’t need to wait to long. I hope Nick and Charlie stay together.
Kit, you was great in Heartsopper. The person of Nick is exactly made for you. Thanks for great jog, that you (of course whole crew) made for everybody, who is searching him/herself and need some spirit. Nick is really brave person and I wish for everybody to have friends like guys in HS.
Colours of you has been playing on my phone and tv for the past 2 days and i'm still not sick of it. The song is a total mood and vibing to it is just pure bliss. Baby Queen is amazing
we can see how much care and sensibility he puts in his work. i loved every second
he is soooo fine 😫
Nick is literally a good person who have a warm heart. Kit acting is just
I began to see so many postings over the weekend about Heartstopper here on CZcams, that I decided to check it out, at first I thought that it was to be another gay teenager show, but at the very beginning when Charly sees Nick at the desk for the first time, and those lovely drawings begin to appear it got me completely and I saw the whole season there. I have so many things that I can relate to, for instance, I first realise that I was gay at the movies back in 1968 seeing Camelot (I was 13 Then). when I began to feel so many things not seen Vanessa Redgrave, my interest was completely in Franco Nero, like the scene of Pirates of the Caribean and so many other scenes like the end in the visit to the Fair, that made me cry many times. The only complaint is that here in Bogotà I had to see it in Castellano, with an anoing Spanish accent the option to see it in English was not possible. and yes the atmosphere of the show is completely British and been an Anglophile all of my life that is a plus. Thank you to everybody in the production, especially to Kit and Joe.😍😍😍😂😂😂
Watching heartstopper on repeat ever since it came out. I'm officially obsessed with Nick & Charlie.
Love from 🇮🇳.
He is quite a brilliant actor at such a young age. You can tell he is very thoughtful and intelligent and mature. Hope to see him more!
Kit is a remarkable human being! 💛💙
I have watched the series for the third time. I can't stop. Kit is just amazing...!!!
Brazil 🇧🇷 yes, we are very passionate people! And we loved heartstopper, and we r looking forward for the next season 😍✨
Stop stop stop I love kit so much omg 😭
He seems mature for his age and very down to earth. Good on you kid, keep doing what you're doing. I love your show! :)
