Heartstopper season 2 dropped on Netflix last week. To promote the series, its stars have been busy undertaking promotional duties.
Kit Connor, who plays Nick Nelson, shot a video for British Vogue in which he reveals what he carries around most days in his backpack.
Check it out below.
Connor, who first came to attention playing a young Elton John in the movie Rocketman, says his black backpack is just the right size for carrying around any scripts he needs to read or learn.
Other basics include wireless headphones, a cap, sunglasses, chewing gum, and a book or two to read. He also carries around a notebook.
“Sometimes if I’m feeling a little confused about something in my life, or, you know, a little emotional about something, I can write it down. I think it’s been really good for my mental health. It’s also just a good way to kind of be creative.”
Last year Connor revealed he is bisexual. However, he said he felt forced to make an announcement after he faced accusations of “queerbaiting” online for taking on gay and bi roles.
Time for tea
Connor goes on to reveal he carries what he thought was facial moisturizer. It’s only when he read the label that he realizes it’s actually hand cream. His favored cologne is Floris.
Lastly, he reveals the most British thing that he possibly carries around: A collection of English breakfast teabags in a small plastic bag.
“I didn’t want to be the guy who goes … I bring tea everywhere I go. So I’m gonna specify, I don’t bring tea everywhere I go. Sometimes in hotels, they just don’t have English Breakfast tea, which is kind of stressful.”
In a separate video, Connor and co-star Joe Locke talked to Teen Vogue about “Firsts” (first audition, first kiss on set, etc).

Noticing neither one of those books have bookmarks in them… and that Kit may be a very boring (in a perfectly fine way) person.

It’s obviously staged, with the items clearly curated in advance, but it’s still a nice video. reveals a little bit into his likes which is cool. I’d be curious about how the cologne smells… looks expensive.

Kit Connor is perfect in every way. He’s so young and doesn’t care too much for technology bc he prefers interpersonal connections. Whatever lucky guy or girl he ends up with will be the luckiest person in the world. God bless him

That was nice comment.
I have read some unpleasant to nasty racist comments on here in the past. And comments accusing others of being trolls (even me when I was being honest). This is refreshing.

I always prefer the fictional characters to the “real life” actors. Not just with this show, but all shows.
The fictional characters are scripted, art-directed and have a musical score underlining the emotional moments! I love the fantasy!
But interviews with the actors are always irritating – mainly because I find actors irritating. Watching actor interviews actually ruined one of my favorite series for me! I couldn’t enjoy it after I saw how smarmy and self-congratulating so many of the actors were.

Which series?

Nurse Jackie!
Thankfully I was almost finished with it. But the actor interviews made me want to puke.
