Kit Connor on intimate scenes in Heartstopper Season 3
In an earlier interview, Connor had spoken about intimate scenes in the new season, a glimpse of which we saw in the trailer. He said to The Sunday Times, “We’ve been taking baby steps. Season 1, he would be there making sure that we were comfortable holding hands. And now we’re doing the sex scenes. We shot a lot of footage for them. Not much actually ended up in the show. But we shot the sex scenes for about seven hours!”
