There’s been a lot of close up shots of cast members feet throughout Love on the Spectrum, with James getting the brunt of the angles this season.<\/p>\n

There’s been a lot of speculation about why the show focuses on feet so much, and Love on the Spectrum Cian O’Clery has now directly addressed the shots.<\/p>\n

During an interview with Today<\/a>, Cian was asked: “Along those same lines, there\u2019s also been some talk about the close-up shots of James’ sandals. What was the thinking behind highlighting his footwear throughout the season?”<\/p>\n

He responded: “James wears those things all the time, and James\u2019s feet almost say things about how he\u2019s feeling as well. They\u2019re very expressive. His footwear becomes part of his story a lot. His parents are telling him to put shoes on, and he\u2019s like, I won\u2019t. Or he\u2019ll wear sandals off on a date, and they\u2019ll say, maybe you should wear shoes.”<\/p>\n

TikTok account Diversity in Neurodiversity, ran by Janella who was diagnosed with autism later in life, also explained how the shots of feet can help show emotion.<\/p>\n
