Connor Jessup & Sebastian Croft: are they fucking?
Since our former "Heartstopper" stans have thankfully departed, I'm hoping I can get an actual answer to this question. It was VERY obvious that Connor had a massive crush on Bash when he was still dating Joe Locke, and I guess they met via some sort of "gay Netflix actor group chat" or something – all before "Heartstopper" even premiered. I stopped following all of them for a while, but then I went back on IG and started noticing Connor showing up repeatedly on Bash's stories, and vice-versa. Connor's still in Toronto, but has flown to London at LEAST three times this year to "hang" with Bash.
Am I missing something here? Who on EARTH flies to the UK three times in a single year just to "hang out with a friend," particularly if they're not wealthy? (And Connor hasn't had a paying job since "Locke & Key" ended several years ago.) Are they fucking on the DL like Bash & Joe were?
Connor's now a geriatric gay (he turned 30 this year), but seems to hang out exclusively with twinks under 22. I'm not sure what's sadder: him flying 3,000 miles just to get some ass, despite living in one of the most gay-friendly cities in the world, or him obsessing like a teenage girl on his "crush."

I wouldn't blame either one if they did.

As long as these twinks are legal, what's the problem?

Aside from the literal generation gap? (Connor's a millennial, and Bash is Gen Z. And yes, they have considerable differences.) The main part is a 30something man "crushing" on a college-age kid not even on the same continent as himself.
There's nothing "wrong" with anything here; it's simply sad that Connor seems to have nearly zero gay friends in an actual gay mecca. I only watch his IG stories intermittently, but if he's in a photo with someone else, it's usually his mom or sister. Seriously. If anything I'm wondering if this is basically akin to the problems that routinely plague child actors after they grow up, and I think we all know how massively fucked up they can be even if NOT subjected to abuse a la Corey Haim or Feldman.
He spent most of his teens & early 20s working on remote TV sets far from home. (He was on "Falling Skies" for its entire TNT run, and it filmed near Vancouver, not Toronto.) And it seems like he has no real peer group, at the age of 30. Also sad, and potentially why he's obsessing over an unattainable guy.

I wonder what all the goo is on Connor's face?

R5, it looks like he's trying to display some milk he poured on his face as bukkake.

R3, it's not like they have as big an age gap as Tom Daley & DLB.

Sebastian attended the Dragon School* in Oxford. Is he considered "posh" in Britain?
*"Stand Before Your God: An American Schoolboy in England" is a great memoir by Paul Watkins, who attended both the Dragon School and Eton

R9 Yes. And he’s a British nepo baby.

Connor and Bash are clearly good friends and Connor is, equally clearly, semi-obsessed with Bash. They went on holiday together with Bash's then-boyfriend, with Connor ever the third-wheel. Bash likes boyish twinks, however, so Connor is not his type at all. I imagine Connor views all this as some kind of sweeping and hopelessly romantic pursuit.

R9, as it so happens, my nephews went to Dragon. Definitely posh, and Emma Watson went there as well in-between filming "Harry Potter" movies. If anything it's a tad odd that Bash didn't continue to a public school (and in the UK that's the term for ones like Eton).

I always knew Connor was gay, just got that vibe. For what it's worth I thought he was fantastic in Falling Skies. He showed signs of being great actor.

Conner is out and proud. Unlike the laughable Mrs Kevitch.

I know he did R15 but not when Falling Skies was first broadcast . That's what I was referring to. Gimme a break please.

R14 Not a Heartstopper thread when he was fired ages ago.

And Connor Jessup of course never had any involvement with the show. to begin with It's been, what, three years since "Locke & Key" ended? He's been doing literally nothing this entire time! (aside from making a short film that I think made it into TIFF) Regardless, "Heartstopper" is probably over – ratings were down due to its segue into more adult subject matter, and they can't exactly roll back Nick & Charlie's virginity – so any thread about it could likely be moot.

It's too bad that he's unemployed because he's actually a decent actor.

OP, it's not the age difference that UPSETS me. Connor has an ENORMOUSLY long and thick cock and I fear for the future of Young Bash's tight rosey hole.
It just takes ONE SELFISH OLDER HORSE-HUNG LOVER to wreck a twink permanently. A fucking travesty.

Maybe Connor should try his luck with Shawn Mendes, now that Shawn says he is "exploring his sexuality".

Shawna's banged out twunk hole is perfect for Connor's arma de gran calibre.

R24, he's Canadian and has only worked *in* Canada, so no. (He'd have to live as an immigrant overstaying the 90-day max in the US. He could get a work visa if he got hired in an actual Hollywood role again, however.)
R26, I'm unclear if that's meant as satire. Or did I miss one of Connor's jo vids leaking or something? (He's never done full-frontal onscreen, has he?)
