Kit Connor Instagram – You may have recognised him for his role in the Elton John biopic Rocketman, but it was this year’s widely-adored series Heartstopper that propelled @Kit.Connor into the limelight.
Days after the Netflix series dropped, we met with the actor one windy morning in South London. Wandering around a former military airfield, Connor reminisced upon areas that played pivotal roles in his childhood.
“Perfectly on time, he emerges from a grove of trees, clad in Carhartt and towering much taller than I’d anticipated at more than 6ft,” writes @ryancahill7. “He gives me a friendly wave and a reassuring smile before joining me on a walk around his former stomping ground. ‘I’m so sorry I brought you somewhere so windy!’ he says attentively, pushing his messy chestnut curtains out of his eyes. There’s a hint of facial hair growing through and it’s clear that the last of his teenage features are starting to fall away. Manhood is impending.”
We’ve hidden 10 exclusive polaroids of Kit Connor in the pages of The Freedom Issue. Pre-order it now via the link in bio to be in with the chance of finding one of them.
