It's not uncommon for actors to get injured on set, but for Joe Locke, his latest injury came from an unexpected source - a passionate makeout session while filming Heartstopper. Fans of the beloved LGBTQ+ show are eagerly awaiting the release of its third season on Netflix, and it seems like the chemistry between Joe, 21, and his on-screen boyfriend Kit Connor, 20, is hotter than ever.
The intense makeout scenes between their characters Charlie and Nick have left Joe with "scabs" all over his chin, as revealed by Kit in an interview with GQ Hype. "We shot the sexy stuff for seven hours, which, you know, that'll do it," Kit shared. "We were both just knackered. Joe developed this huge scab on his chin," he continued, with Joe chiming in to describe it as "horrible."
The cause of Joe's injury? Both actors had grown stubble since the last season, making the kissing scenes a bit scratchy. But despite the discomfort, Joe and Kit were both committed to portraying the intense and evolving relationship between Charlie and Nick.
Speaking about their characters' romantic development, Kit said, "We have had a really nice slow progression in terms of us as actors and as people getting to know each other and getting more comfortable with one another, starting with the kisses in season one and building up. By season three, we know each other very well. So it meant that in terms of approaching those more raunchy scenes, it still...it's always something that's slightly weird about it."
Joe also spoke highly of his co-star, saying, "I love working with Kit." When asked about rumors of Kit joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Joe said, "I'd love it if Kit was in the MCU, but I'm pretty sure that's just a baseless rumor." Fans have speculated that Kit could star as Hulkling in the MCU, while Joe could play Teen in Agatha All Along.
As fans eagerly await the release of the third season, they can also look forward to the return of many beloved cast members, including Yasmin Finney, William Gao, Tobie Donovan, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Rhea Norwood, and Jenny Walser. But there are also some exciting new additions to the cast, such as Bridgerton's Jonathan Bailey as Jack Maddox, an Instagram-famous author and Charlie's celebrity crush. MCU star Hayley Atwell will also join as Nick's aunt, who takes him on holiday to Menorca and offers him some sage advice about his relationship with Charlie. Plus, Eddie Marsen will play Geoff, Charlie's wise and straight-talking therapist.
Heartstopper fans can mark their calendars for October 3, when the new season will drop on Netflix. And for any fans who may have their own celebrity stories to share, they can get in touch with the entertainment team at The Agency via email, phone, or by visiting their website.
