Netflix has returned with its literary adaptations and this time it has done so with one of Alice Oseman’s best-selling works. Fresh out of the oven, ‘Heartstopper’ has been presented with a heart-stopping first season made up of eight episodes. A first contact where the public has been able to learn the story of Charlie Spring, played by actor Joe Locke, and Nick Nelson, played by Kit Connor .

A most successful bet on the part of the popular streaming platform that has caused a real furor among the followers of the platform, and no wonder. In fact, just a few days after its premiere , more than 11,000 tweets about fiction continue to be generated every hour. Likewise, it should be noted that the first eight episodes of the saga adapt the first two volumes of the graphic novel, which were titled ‘Two boys together’ and ‘My favorite person’.

For this reason, and before the one who has become one of the artists of the moment, we will address a little more in depth about the young protagonist of this popular series, Joe Locke, a boy who says that he has just started his professional career in the more spectacular. You’ll be surprised!

YOUR PROFESSIONAL LIFE

Born on September 24, 2003 in Douglas, Isle of Man, Joseph William Locke is an actor known artistically as Joe Locke. During his academic years, the young man attended the Ballakermeen Institute, but he was always clear that he wanted to direct his professional life to the world of acting. In fact, he began his journey by participating in National Theater Connections in 2020, as well as productions at the Gaiety Theater and with the Kensington Art Center youth group.

Last 2021 he decided to appear for the casting of one of the upcoming adaptations that Netflix would carry out, ‘Heartstopper’. He was chosen out of 10,000 other potential actors who applied for the role, and, although Joe Locke was 17 at the time of filming, in the fiction he had to play a 15-year-old student at an all-male English grammar school.

HIS PERSONAL LIFE

On a personal level, Joe Locke is shown to be a faithful follower of social networks. In fact, he has 1 million followers on his Instagram account, a platform where he also shares his closest and most intimate face. In addition, he has shown that, not counting his interpretation, he loves spending his free time with his family and friends.

On the other hand, the field of love is one of the least known of the young actor, since he likes to keep his private life out of the public eye. At present , he is not known to have any type of sentimental relationship. Of course, although he has not spoken openly about his sexual orientation, it is known that Alice Oseman, author of the literary saga on which the series is based, wanted the sexual orientation of the actors to coincide with that of the characters they played. interpret
