Just 24 tweets all saying how perfect Joe Locke is in Heartstopper

He is the best Charlie Spring

2 years ago

If you haven’t seen Heartstopper yet, what are you even doing? Based on the graphic novels by Alice Oseman, Heartstopper is the show every queer person wishes they had growing up. It’s funny, heartwarming and so relatable to everyone who’s ever had a “full on gay crisis”. Plus, the cast is absolutely amazing.

There’s one cast member in particular, though, who has captured the hearts of fans Joe Locke, who plays the main character Charlie Spring. I’m sure everyone who’s a fan of the graphic novels can agree that Joe is the perfect Charlie – the on-screen chemistry with Kit Connor, who plays Nick Nelson, is off the scale and every time he said “sorry” I just wanted to give him the biggest hug ever. Even more impressively, Joe is only 18 and it’s his first acting role – just let that sink in.

So, just to make it clear – this is a Joe Locke in Heartstopper appreciation post, including all the best tweets about our new favourite actor.

1. To the subtweet, same

4. From all of us obsessed with watching his interviews, yes

Joe Locke is fuckin incredible. The shows been out for like 2 mins and his acting and humour outside of HS was enough to get me hooked onto this whole other HS world. I feel more connected to HS BECAUSE of the kind of person that Joe is & the hilarious content that he puts out <3
