Heartstopper’s Kit Connor & Joe Locke on Filming Sex Scenes for 7 Hours

“Heartstopper” stars Kit Connor and Joe Locke have recently discussed filming sex scenes for seven hours in season 3 of the popular Netflix show. Ahead of the new installment, the lead actors have raised anticipation as the teens’ heart-fluttering love story will reach another milestone. “Heartstopper: Season 3” will see the main characters, Nick (Connor) and Charlie (Locke), grow close intimately. The two will now take things to the next level as they grow closer in every way.

Kit Connor said filming ‘Heartstopper’ sex scene was ‘like a dance’

In an interview with PinkNews, Connor shared that filming the intimate scenes in the new season of “Heartstopper” was “like a dance.” The 20-year-old actor said, “We blocked it out and we shot for about seven hours, the sex scenes.” The coming-of-age drama recruited David Thackeray as the intimacy coordinator, who has worked on the show since the first season. Connor shared that they “know him well” and are “very comfortable with him.” He added, “He’s very good at his job.” 

Connor explained that Thackeray was “instrumental in helping” the actors “feel super comfortable.” The latter also made them “look and feel realistic on screen.” Connor continued, “It would be like, ‘OK, spoon now’, and ‘kiss’ and ‘our hand under the cover’… It was very much like that, intense.” 

Meanwhile, Locke shared that Nick and Charlie having sex is the most anticipated scene in the new season. The actor joked, “I think the Heartstopper fans are way hornier than they think they are, and they are ready for it.” During filming the intimate moments, Locke was at ease because “most of the crew was the same for all three seasons.” The 21-year-old explained that “the embarrassment sort of goes away” because “you get to know people really well and you feel so comfortable around them.”

“Heartstopper” Season 3 will premiere on Netflix this Thursday.
