‘Heartstopper’ baddie Sebastian Croft says he’s not a “fashion boy,” but his head-turning fits disagree
By Editors · 7 comments
I wouldn’t say I’m quite the fashion boy yet, but I’m definitely having a lot of fun with the way I’m dressing, and how far I can take things.
It’s like playing dress up as a kid except you’re working with extremely talented people.
I see dressing up almost like an extension of my art as an actor. It’s almost like I’m playing these new characters, and it’s a lot more fun than just rocking up in a suit.
Sebastian Croft, 21, speaking to British GQ about his fashion journey since garnering international fame on ‘Heartstopper.‘
Kit Connor and Sebastian Croft went for the gold at the 2023 Fashion Awards.

The fits are definitely attention-getting, but the actors look sexiest in their private school uniforms (last shot). It’s why the uniform is an enduring theme in men’s fashion. It’s hotttt.
Whilst I acknowledge that the fashion industry does produce interpretations of the “school uniform” time after time, I feel that comments like yours don’t really help the “predatory/paedo” brush with which the gay community is tarred.
Are the actors all of legal age? Yes.
But the characters they play are minors.
And the uniforms and styling they wear are to make them appear as minors (successfully, in my opinion) – and so to say that guys who look like minors (even if they technically aren’t) look sexy, I feel, hurts us more than helps us.
Hello Louis! My point is that I like the enduring military uniform leitmotif in men’s fashion, tailored specifically for the male physique and from which many styles have emerged – including the school uniform.
Sincerest apologies if my innocent comment triggered sensitivities around the sexualization of children.
Sebastian is very cute. But the outfits, i swear i saw some of the same at the Halloween Parade Wicked Manors in October. Style is not about shlock and shock.

I think he’s fashionable.
But can we stop making a tuxedo w/ shorts a thing? It just looks lazy and confused b/t trying to be formal and casual.
