Kit Connor, star of the hit show Heartstopper, and Rachel Zegler, known for her role in The Hunger Games, have been making waves on Broadway with their mesmerizing kiss scene. Kit, who is only 20 years old, is causing a stir in New York with his portrayal of Romeo in the modern musical adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Directed by Tony winner Sam Gold and Jack Antonoff, the show's synopsis promises a thrilling and tragic tale of young love in a world of violence and chaos.
As is often the case with re-imaginings of classic stories, the heart of the show lies in the love story between Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. Despite the feud between their families, the two star-crossed lovers fight to be together, even if it means facing a tragic fate. The previews for the show at the Circle in the Square Theatre have already begun, and there is one moment between Kit's Romeo and Rachel's Juliet that has fans raving. In a jaw-dropping move, Kit does a pull-up to capture Juliet's lips in a kiss, leaving the audience cheering and gasping in awe.
A video of the moment has gone viral, with fans expressing their amazement and admiration. Some have praised the director for creating such a romantic and unforgettable scene, while others are in awe of Kit and Rachel's chemistry. It seems that the Hollywood pair are thoroughly enjoying their Broadway debut in this modern adaptation of the classic play.
In addition to his success on stage, Kit has recently opened up about his new fitness regime, which was inspired by his role in Netflix's Heartstopper. After seeing some fan reactions that called him "too skinny" for the role of soft-hearted jock Nick Nelson, Kit decided to hit the gym and bulk up. He even shared that he was doing 200 push-ups a day at one point, and started seeing results in his chest. But it wasn't until he started properly hitting the gym that he achieved the desired look for his character.
Kit and Rachel recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to talk about their adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, which they described as a "Troye Sivan music video." As British actors, they both felt a sense of obligation to perform Shakespeare, and are now receiving praise for their roles in the show. They also shared a funny anecdote about an audience member who was so invested in their performance that she yelled out "Romeo, walk away" during a tense scene.
But Kit's romantic charisma is not only on display on stage. The third season of Heartstopper, coming out this month, will feature more intimate scenes between Kit's character Nick and Joe Locke's character Charlie Spring. The Emmy winner shared that the focus of this season is on the struggles of being a young queer person and knowing when you're ready for intimacy. He also mentioned the lack of representation of queer sex in the industry and how this show aims to portray it in a more realistic and tender way.
It seems that Kit's passion for acting and dedication to his roles has paid off, as he continues to impress audiences and fans alike. With Heartstopper season three and his Broadway debut in Romeo + Juliet both happening this month, it's safe to say that Kit Connor is on his way to becoming a household name. We can't wait to see what he does next!
