Netflix has long been the gateway to stardom, and Kit Connor is walking that path with remarkable grace, echoing Millie Bobby Brown’s meteoric rise. From Heartstopper’s tender corridors of Truham Grammar to dazzling cinematic landscapes, his journey is steadily unfolding. The series itself enchanted audiences, ranking seventh in Netflix’s British top ten within days of release, while boasting glowing reviews across Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. Yet, with Season 4 shelved, the story leaps toward a feature film, and now Connor has offered fans a tantalizing glimpse.

Kit Connor is turning up the heat in Netflix’s Heartstopper, giving fans a playful sneak peek that hints at charm, chaos, and just the right amount of spice.

During a recent conversation with VMAN, Kit Connor revealed how his days on the Heartstopper set have been filled with both physical challenges and playful moments. When Louis Partridge mentioned the beginning of Connor's journey on the project, he spoke about the rigorous rugby training that often leaves him throwing himself onto the ground. He also admitted, “We shot quite a steamy scene yesterday,” hinting that the upcoming feature will carry both intensity and surprising sparks for viewers.

The exchange soon drifted into nostalgia as Kit Connor recalled first noticing Louis Partridge at the Venice Film Festival, only to be reminded that their paths had actually crossed years earlier. Partridge shared how, at just thirteen, he encountered Connor while auditioning for a drama scholarship, remembering him from Get Santa. That chance meeting, once forgotten, ultimately grew into a serendipitous friendship that has now flourished both on and off screen. Beyond Heartstopper, Connor also reflected on the two projects that shaped his growth, offering a glimpse into the experiences that defined his journey.

Heartstopper may have catapulted Kit Connor into the spotlight, yet two other projects linger closer to his heart, shaping his craft in ways he cannot help but celebrate with glowing admiration.

While speaking on In the Envelope: The Actor’s Podcast, Kit Connor reflected on how every role he has taken has molded him both as an actor and as an artist. Beyond the craft itself, these opportunities have also given him clarity about his future in the entertainment industry. Among the many projects, two in particular stand out as transformative experiences for Connor, shaping his artistic voice in profound ways, Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet and the intense drama Warfare.

Kit Connor acknowledged how Heartstopper shaped him, yet it was Warfare and Romeo + Juliet that truly pushed his artistic boundaries, giving him “new experience, new skills, new, just new thoughts.” With the upcoming Heartstopper film on the horizon and confirmed cast members already revealed, the anticipation surrounding Connor’s next career move has reached a fever pitch. His recent glimpse into the film has only heightened curiosity, leaving audiences eager to witness the next stage in his ever-evolving artistic journey.
