Have you ever encountered a moment in your life when you get something that you
wanted so badly? Now, can you imagine getting something much bigger along with

you will have, can you? Well, that sort of thing, in fact, happened with the
Heartstopper star, Kit Connor. What did he get that he didn’t even imagine
happening? How did he react to it? Let us find out.


THE FIRST BIG NEWS FOR KIT CONNOR

He was spending time with his family when Kit got a call from his agent

Connor told Josh Smith in an interview
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ2FCO8J74s] that he couldn’t believe it when
he got to know that an Oscar-winning actor Olivia Coleman is going to play the
role of his mother on screen. He fell short on words when he started to describe
the feeling. His first reaction to the news was understandable. He only had “Oh
My Lord! Olivia Coleman” to say! Anyone would be nervous around such a person,
and Kit shared that he was nervous too, working with Olivia Coleman.

of Charlie and Nick, young gay boys. It is adapted from a graphic novel of the
same name by Alice Oseman. Both the show and the novel explore the lives of
teenagers who belong to the LGBTQ+ community and their psyche.


KIT AS NICK NELSON WITH OLIVIA COLEMAN

As much as he was nervous about working with Olivia Coleman, Kit really enjoyed
his time with Olivia, who plays his on-screen mother, Sarah Nelson. When Josh
asks Kit about the moments h enjoyed the most with Olivia, Kit remembers this
scene from the show where his character Nick discusses his sexuality with his
mother Sarah.

Kit explains that when they were reading the lines for the first time, he just
went 50% into the character. On the other hand, he noticed a tear falling down
her face. That was an unbelievable moment. He says that he couldn’t stop
thinking about how he was going to act alongside this absolutely stunning actor.
This moment made him realize how extremely skillful she was and he needed to
bring his A-game to be able to match the energy.

yourself. Amazingly, this is how Kit Connor felt while working with an
extraordinarily talented Oscar-winning actor, Olivia Coleman.
