In a recent interview with PinkNews, Kit Connor and Joe Locke shared about their experience shooting the intimate scenes for the beloved LGBTQ+ series. According to Connor,

“We did a lot of work with David Thackeray, our intimacy co-ordinator who’s been on it since season one, so we know him well and we’re very comfortable with him and he’s very good at his job.”

“He was instrumental in helping us feel super comfortable and also look and feel realistic on screen, that was important. It’s like a dance. We blocked it out and we shot for about seven hours, the sex scenes. It would be like, ‘OK, spoon now’, and ‘kiss’ and ‘our hand under the cover’… It was very much like that, intense,” the 20-year-old English actor further revealed.

Meanwhile, Locke added:

“Most of the crew was the same for all three seasons, so you get to know people really well and you feel so comfortable around them that the embarrassment sort of goes away.”

When asked about which scene is the most anticipated by fans, the 21-year-old Manx actor responded:

“Them having sex. I think the Heartstopper fans are way hornier than they think they are, and they are ready for it.”
