Sebastian "Bash" Croft

Wimbledon

What Ray-Bans are these? They don't look like regular Wayfarers

Bash seen with Yaz and Connor J at the Olivia Rodrigo concert. Their friend Baby Queen is opening. Joe not there apparently

Oh there’s one of RWRB cast there tonight, I hope they meet 😄 Here for the crossover.

Maybe Joe went to the bathroom. Or maybe he’s having a sleep.

Is he white?

R7 Yes, he's Greek-Cypriot.

Ralph Lauren posted

Bash and Yaz tonight.

Real World Redondo Beach?

R10 Maybe Joe had another engagement or maybe he wasn't feeling well and stayed home. I know it was just one picture but he did look kind of lost at Wimbledon.

When are they going on a proper holiday?

R7 Kebab

The Chinese takeout Joe was eating at Wimbledon probably repeated on him later.

He really needs to close his mouth while taking selfies

Bash got Personality.

Maybe they broke up R6

Why didn't they tidy up before that zoom interview began? Why didn't they fold and put away that bed sheet or whatever that is behind him? My OCD kicks in when i see things like that. There i said it, phew! 🤪

R18 maybe Joe wanted to show the world that's where they fucked their brains out

If you’re not diagnosed just …. don’t

These threads aren't even reaching 600 comments. Why are we getting so many?

FF & Ignore List.

That wallpaper looks straight of one of the World Wars. Is that the Croft residence?

Cinesnatch is telling you NOW so she doesn't have to tell you THEN.

It looks like a spare/guest room. Sebastian's bedroom walls are light gray, he used to have pics from it on his IG. This was filmed there:

lol, okay. You put me in my place. But, it's annoying.

This person keeps making sock-puppet accounts.

[quote] These threads aren't even reaching 600 comments.

cause bitches like you FF them.

Oh lol. I didn't really think that through. Whoops.

And they get paywalled...

Quick glance.....He looks like that Highland Park killer

R22 It reminds me of his house. His room is more modern see R24, but Croft house looked pretty old fashion, yellow and tacky from videos. There used to be a lot more pictures up when Connor used to attention whore every second of the day he was in London last year.

I feel that's an office/spare bedroom if that's his house.

R30 He’s done a number of singing videos in his room and it’s blue/green. It look an odd shaped room.

R3 He's had those Wayfarers for years.

Long-haired Bash:

Can you imagine what would have happened if they suddenly held hands?

Look at those hands, perfectly positioned and asking to be clasped.

I’m guessing Joe stayed to do media or something. GQ was all over him yesterday; they posted a lot about his Dior outfit and then a lot about his Ralph Lauren appearance. If he got a GQ article then staying to do that and some photos was more important than making the concert. He seems to have crazy levels of endurance, I doubt feeling a bit under the weather would make him miss a night out at a concert

R33 They’re even closer in the Getty photo. I’m glad they appear more relaxed here. In the past few public photos we’ve seen, they’ve been holding onto their own hands. Maybe they’ll gradually appear more of a couple in press photos. Bash even went back to posting with his hand on Joe’s shoulder at pride and Adele.

[quote] I’m guessing Joe stayed to do media or something. GQ was all over him yesterday;

I think you might be right. It seems that Joe wasn't with Bash and Yaz when they left Wimbledon.

R36 see R4 and R10, already posted.

Emilia Jones was with Bash, Yaz and Connor at the show last night. Bash and Connor got to know each other through her.

[Quote] Bash and Connor got to know each other through her.

Was it an Eiffel Tower situation?

Joe and Bash have now been featured on Ralph Lauren’s instagram (the other was the polo page). This time without Yaz.

I wonder if they know Jeremy Langmead.

R36 Is that not them at the Olivia Rodrigo concert? The outfits are different and they’re surrounded by young people. Doesn’t look like a Wimbledon crowd.

Is it just DL or of folks from that show is he the one seeming to get most of the attention.

R42 it’s just DL. He’s definitely popular with the fans especially as a unit with Joe (whether they think they’re dating or just close friends), but Kit is certainly the most popular and getting the most attention. Joe is getting the most “fashion” notice (Dior, Ralph Lauren, Ami, British GQ twice, esquire) and Yaz has the biggest other announced job yet in Dr Who.

R42 He’s probably getting the third or fourth most attention from within the show’s fanbase? Considerably behind the attention Joe Locke and Kit Connor get, probably near the attention Yaz Finney gets. But the general public doesn’t care much about him if you look at other metrics (IMDb Star Meter, Wikipedia page views, etc.). DL likes how he looks and is interested in his relationship with one of the show leads.

Why isn't William Gao getting more attention?

It’s 3 fraus on DL talking to each other R42

R45 Will has the 3rd most instagram followers of them all but doesn’t seem to post much, mind you Bash is onto 100k behind him now.

It’s 3 fraus on DL talking to themselves [R42]

R44

[quote] Wikipedia page views

You can do that?

R45 he’s not in a hot relationship/ no one ships him with Yaz

Is Kit Connor in a hot relationship?

He gets shipped with Joe keep up

Here’s the Heartstopper thread to discuss the other actors:

Editor!

Keep Croft out all the other HS threads and I’ll think about it R53

R45 He stays a little more under the radar and doesn’t self-promote as much as the other 4, but the London show for his band sold out instantly yesterday so he’s by no means unpopular. I’m sure another aspect of it is that he’s Asian.

I have an IMDb Pro account for work and checked their peaks on the Star Meter:

Joe Locke - 81 Kit Connor - 8 Sebastian Croft - 141 Yasmin Finney - 192 Will Gao - 659 Corinna Brown - 6,186 Kizzy Edgell - 7,603

Currently, Kit Connor is ~3,000 spots ahead of the second most popular HS actor on the Star Meter (Joe).

Gao is easily the most photogenic male in the cast.

Wild that Kit is so much more popular - I expected a difference but not 3000 spots R58. Thanks for sharing the info. I wonder if part of that is because he actually has a past filmography that people can look at and watch whereas functionally everyone knows Joe is a total newcomer and HS will be the only thing on his page?

Heartstopper thread at the link. Post it there unless you want a 20th Sebastian thread this week.

He's a white, presumed str8, male...

R60 That’s definitely a factor. More previous credits would keep him (and to an extent Bash) from plummeting as dramatically as time passes. With Yaz, future credits are keeping her a little more stable as well. Kit and Joe also benefit from ongoing press and from being the two faces of the show. Kit also garnered more critical acclaim than the rest of the cast, which boosts him on these kind of industry metrics (his page is showing that he received an award nomination a couple of weeks ago that gave him a boost).

R59 He’s signed to a proper modeling agency and has done minor runway work, from the looks of his Instagram feed.

London Pride was the happiest I've seen him.

Glass closet indeed.

Bash posted:

I keep blocking the poster(s) threads because I don't know who this is, but they keep getting unblocked.

R67 The DL block feature doesn't always work like it should. I have none in my blocked list currently.

Looks like destiny wants you to find out who this is, r67.

Fan pic from Paris

Oh Bash. What a kind thing to do.

Back at Olivia Rodrigo, this time with Joe

Bash last night:

Joe tonight. They think he's wearing Kit's jacket.

R74 They said it’s similar not the same. Bash is wearing Joe’s jacket from Ralph Lauren.

R74 They said they don't think it's the same, but that it's cute they match? Why are fans so fucking weird.

[quote]Bash is wearing Joe’s jacket from Ralph Lauren.

I always assumed that the clothes sharing went both ways.

R76 also love that they say that about a basic navy and white piece of clothing. Aka 50% of the average wardrobe.

It fits him better in the shoulders than on Joe.

R77 Yes it probably is both ways but Bash’s clothes stand out being designer. I think they do it on purpose sometimes to provoke fans, like Joe in the zoom interview.

R77 my guess has always been that it’s mostly Joe in bash’s clothes because they spend most of their time in London and packing a big suitcase when he can borrow most items doesn’t make sense. Also, bash is a little bigger so everything of his would work fine on Joe (and it’s designer generally as an added perk). I’ve thought probably kicking around the Isle of Man he’d mostly wear joes shirts and jumpers at least.

I think they do it on purpose because that is what two men who are coupled do.

Seems like sharing clothes is just natural for them as boyfriends. Really don't think they are doing it with fans in mind. Though they are making it obvious they are living together.

They though Kit was wearing a jacket of Joes the other day, I laughed at the idea anything fitting tiny tiny Joe would fit Kit 😂 Kits jacket would hang off Joe like a blanket.

At the concert. As per the fan: “ I WENT UP TO THEM IN BETWEEN SONGS AND SAID “could I get a picture pls” and bash immediately was like “oh yes of course” and Joe said “WhAT?” And bash had to repeat what I said LOL”

Some LQ Bash after the concert

Op, are you this kid's publicist? What gives with all of the threads on this person?

R86 I can only presume that’s Joe he’s staring at opposite him?

R88 Yeah, it's Joe. Though it was obvious. They both seemed in a great mood tonight.

I love these threads, but they depress the hell out of me. Lets face it these boys are young and they are not likely to last. They are young and bound to face temptation. I can't even begin to imagine the pain that lay ahead for all of us, but especially these young men. It has to be difficult growing up under a microscope.

r92

MARY!

He looks so hot here

R92 they’re very cute and I’m sure a breakup would hurt them both but they’re only 18 and 20. I don’t think they’d never love again or have a lifetime of grief or whatever you’re imagining. People (including both their mothers incidentally) manage to find new happy marriages after full on divorces; while I’m sure neither wants a breakup and it would suck I don’t think we need to project a lifetime of pain and suffering as a result. Who knows, maybe it’ll last - some young relationships are forever. But if they don’t it’s seemed to be very mutually loving and healthy for both and will likely be classed as an overall good experience in the future

R92 This is so hilariously dramatic. Of course they’ll break up eventually, but they’re teenagers and they’ll be fine. It’s not even a temptation thing, it’s a they’re still growing and changing as people thing.

I believe you're depressed but probably because you seem them living a seemingly charmed life, not because you care about them possibly breaking up.

Connor was with them again. I wonder if he's also staying with Bash.

R45 he's cute but he's got long legs and is very thin.

Connors just always chillin’ in the background.

I married the girl I met when I was 18, she was 20. It does happen sometimes. Rare though I imagine. I am a very different person at 30 to who I was at 18. So is my wife. Luckily, we managed to navigate through & make that work. But we have very dull lives compared to the stuff Joe & Bash are getting to enjoy currently!

Are you a lesbian?

They updated it with his name. No longer mystery man. The funniest thing was the email asking for tips if you know who the mystery man is. 😂 Joe's there too behind them.

R102 “mystery man” - its since been updated but that’s hilarious. Meanwhile there’s Joe in the background

She can't leave the gays alone, can she.

R106 we’re going to get the plot twist that Olivia is his girlfriend of 3 years

If nothing else gonna encourage those straight allegations I'm sure

Poor Joe, not even getting a notice in the article much less from his boyfriend!

R109 Well, he's barely in the background. I think I see Connor's head too. Are we going to to have another day of Bash is a bad boyfriend now

Don’t know what they are trying to sell here. But whatever it is, I am pretty sure it won’t work much. I wonder what joe thinks about all this.

R110 oh to be clear I was joking, a gay man walking with a known hag is nothing to get upset about.

R111 the DM tried but this isn’t getting any traction on Twt etc. she’s been dating someone else as they mention in the article for months, so I don’t think anyone is buying that she suddenly switched to a little known Netflix actor she met for the first time last night.

I think this might be the first time that Sebastian is regretting that he's gay; "Damn, I could have been in a power couple with Olivia Rodrigo - my Starmeter ranking would have gone through the roof!"

Is Bash a social climber/clout chaser? I don’t know much about him pre-HS but he gives those vibes.

Yes R101, I am a lesbian. Why?

Poor Joe following at a respectful distance 😂

100% R114. I followed him pre-HS and he’s def a social climber. It’s why I’ve always been quite surprised at this switch to being quite private. Bash was all about the attention (not in a bad way) and being ‘hilarious’ & kooky with his fellow rich & semi famous friends. It’s always struck me how much he must love Joe to have retreated so much from the attention he appeared to enjoy.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Not him attempting at bearding with his boyfriend right behind 😂 I suspect he's even more of an asshole in real life than his HS character.

How does Bash know Olivia Rodrigo?! I’m all for keeping relationships private but this is a dick move. The press are vile, they’d have known full well what this would be reported as. No thanks. Just walk out normally, no need to link arms and have your boyfriend trailing behind.

R114 Sebastian has the most experience out of the entire HS cast and has been acting on stage since he was a kid. He worked in the West End for years, he played Oliver Twist in Sam Mendes' production of Oliver and Gavroche in Les Mis. His first TV role was young Ned Stark on Game of Thrones. He has a BAFTA Children's Award nomination for Horrible Histories in which he played the lead. There have been DL threads about him for over a year.

Young Bash in his musical theatre days:

R117 I actually agree which is why it’s interesting to see how he and Joe are balancing the privacy. I thought because of the same things you mentioned that Joe was pushing the privacy at first as he mentioned being freaked out by the new attention, unfollowed his friends and family on public social media, and has turned his profile into solely professional and promo shots - but on the flip side he’ll post photos with Bash on his Instagram stories that Bash functionally never reposts, and Bash has never officially come out (thus the DM speculation). I doubt Joe really cares because they are seen together prettt much daily and are always pretty blissful so clearly there’s no trouble in paradise but it’s interesting.

R120 Bash, Bella and Olivia:

R120 Baby Queen opened for her. That's why they were there in the first place. Bash (and Joe) know her so I'm assuming she introduced them to Olivia and they all went to the party for the tour that ended last night. It's questionable to walk out like that honestly. They could have all walked out together.

Anyway, he's getting half roasted by Joe fans so he should watch himself. Bash saw the pictures, I'm sure he saw some of the comments.

Sebastian looks hot. Olivia looks drunk so why wouldn't he walk with her LOL. The actress who played the sister on Heartstopper talked about what a gentleman Sebastian is and that he was the only one to offer her his chair.

Joe and Bash always seem loved up; people also thought Joe was pissed about Pride when Bash barely included him in the post and then they were holding hands and pretty clearly happy at the Adele concert the same night. I think he might just be a remarkably non jealous person. He had to be all over Kit at the parade for HS promo (pretty clearly as they replicated the book poses) and Bash seemed fine with it; Joe seems fine with Bash's female friends like Nell and Amybeth being all over him as well. Obviously this is different because it was caught on camera and speculated about but the Daily Mail notoriously runs with any possibility to spin a romance rumor. They were likely hanging out all night at the afterparty itself, Bash walked Olivia out to her car drunk in her heels and there were press pics taken, and then Bash and Joe went home together.

I doubt Joes remotely bothered, they seem solid & Bash is gay. Still think it’s a bit of a dick move. They knew the paps were there, no need to cling onto someone else’s boyfriend for headlines. Bash should know better as well. 100% attention seeking.

Loling at fans commenting to Bash though, are these the same fans who refuse to let anyone even suggest they might be a couple?! 😂

They knew what they were doing by walking out together.

Where is all these commenting, and all the roasting? Anyway, i thought they were besties, so what is their problem?

Yeah Sebastian knows what he’s doing here

Not Bash doing some damage control. lmao

Posted from the concert; 2 videos of Olivia singing and one of Baby Queen. Shows and tags Joe with him at the beginning.

R132 sorry forgot link

R131 thought the same re damage control, lol

The level of disrespect to Joe by Sebastian is galling, this doesn't bode well for their future together.

[R131] Actually, i should have put *"damage control"* as i don't think he did anything wrong.

R134 that's ridiculous you're reading too much into this.

Cute

Bash is theatrical as fuck and blatantly all over basically every female friend he’s ever had. Nell is always in his lap, he and Amy Beth cling to one another, and Isabella Pappas and him are very touchy. Their SOs and Joe are all fine with it because bash is gay and they’re women. Yes I’m sure they knew press would be there and I’m sure Bash didn’t mind getting spotted with a big celebrity but let’s be real; one of the reasons Olivia had him there was he posed no threat to her relationship and wouldn’t cause any drama with her actual boyfriend - again because Bash is gay and with Joe. If Olivia wanted to get speculation going with all due respect she’d pick someone tabloids could immediately identify, not a relatively niche Netflix actor. She was similarly clingy with the openly gay Conan Gray last year and he also got a “mystery man” article written about him.

I’m surprised at the minimal Connor content from Bash on this trip. Barely acknowledged him at Pride & hadn’t posted photos with him at all. Connor also very quiet, pre-HS he was all over them on his trips to London (& NY). He was there the past two nights but you wouldn’t know it.

Also, what’s with these hats they are wearing? Is it supposed to hide them a bit? Cos it isn’t working!

Dainty.

Are you fucking kidding me, have you seen what Bash has to put up with on a daily basis?

R141 Comparing an innocuous fan edit that’s specifically platonic and Joe had no hand in to…whatever it is Bash does is a choice.

R135 Well, I think it's "damage control" to Joe fans and HS fans since he did do something wrong in the eyes of some fans. Apparently they were all going to McDonald's (which baby queen told fans too). Saying see I acknowledge Joe. Just a hint hint to fans. He knows fans knows they are dating. I find it pretty funny he posted it.

Some people on here are taking two strangers relationship way too serious and a bit too invested in it. Lol The people saying Sebastian is not respecting Joe because he's walking with someone else. Take a step back and stop acting like you are in the relationship because you ain't but you sound way weird and creepy.

R143 i can only imagine how many such stories [R137] he has saved that he doesn't dare to share cause Joe freaked out and deleted everything and unfollowed everyone. At least he left enough to keep everyone guessing and gossiping and doesn't give a shit.

R142 To be fair, he just had to watch pride with Joe and Kit hanging all over each other and everyone calling them the real Nick and Charlie while they hug and hold hands. And he kind of had to stay in the background there . And then fans were mad about his IG post. Joe can do whatever but anything Bash does is disrepectful apparently.

I feel when/if they do actually break up Bash is going to get shit on so bad. 😂 None of these fraus ever taking his side.

I would sort of understand - not really get because getting too invested in others’ relationships is insane - why people would be upset if Joe ever gave any signs of being annoyed by Bash’s alleged disrespect. But he doesn’t. He continue to share photos and tag bash in things even when he doesn’t repost them. He likes and reshares things like the pride post that don’t include him prominently. He had bash in the video he posted from the concert today; even if he wasn’t tagged he could have easily cut bash or posted another video without him in it if he was so upset. However weird it may feel to people outside the relationship, joe and bash are both clearly pleased and comfortable with the level of privacy and evasion they’re employing now. People are acting like bash grabbed Olivia’s arm and sprinted out of the venue or like he hid in his room and didn’t consult joe on his pride post. Obviously I don’t know them personally but from what we see (them hanging out and being affectionate daily) neither of them gives a fuck about the other person’s physical affection towards platonic friends or about the level of privacy they’re employing.

R146 People keep bringing up how close Joe and Kit were at Pride but Bash is equally as close to him and hangs all over him as well, so I don’t get the comparison. It’s obvious they’re both fond of him and even Bash’s mom likes the Joe/Kit stuff and Kit solo stuff on her Twitter.

R148 Kit and Joe aren't even close, but Kit and Joe were pretty obviously playing up Nick and Charlie at Pride for the press, even recreating art that Alice drew. In front of Joe's actual boyfriend. It's really not on the same level as that.

Where is Anne Frank to be released in the Uk next month. Bash voices Peter.

r150

Oh dear - that sounds like a garbage fire.

R150 Finally UK distribution. That's why he was in Cannes last summer.

R152 Yes I remember that. Hopefully his other 2 films come out too.

R149 I admire your attempt to flip the narrative and try to act like Kit and Joe were in the wrong, but Doulla liking Kit stuff regularly, Kit and Joe’s mom’s interactions at Pride, all of the Kit/Joe/Bash interactions for the last year speak more to their closeness than your repeated insistence that they’re not and that Bash would have any sort of reason to feel weird about the way they are.

R154 I'm not saying they were in the wrong? I'm saying they both deal with some crap because they aren't publicly out as a couple. Kit and Joe will play up Nick and Charlie from time to time for the press. Sooo I don't get this notion that Joe is somehow suffering in the relationship while the ladykiller Bash ignores him. And I like Joe more and think Bash knew isn't dumb enough not to know the press was there to take pictures like that. It's a stupid situation.

Kit's mom was not at pride either? You mean Bash and Joe's mother? Joe and Kit aren't particularly close outside work. Friendly, but not the best of friends by any means. Not sure what you are even saying.

Kit’s interactions with Joe’s mom. It’s weird that y’all keep acting like the three of them are basically just coworkers and “aren’t even close” when they do shit like meet up in other countries and go out to dinner on their downtime and are very physical with each. Out of the cast, Joe and Bash as a couple are closest to Kit and probably Tobie. Yaz didn’t meet up with Joe and Bash in Paris, Corinna and Kizzy aren’t going out to dinner with Joe/Bash. Acknowledging that doesn’t mean Kit is suddenly going to turn gay and fuck Joe and/or Bash.

R125 Lol she does look tipsy.

Hilarious. Now sneer at fans on Twitter because you’re obviously not like them

Last night. Is that Connor beside them? He's so mysteriously quiet lately. I get they probably don't want him taking their picture all the time this year, but he's not even updating anything he's doing. Anyway, he looks like an awkward third wheel as expected.

R159 Yeah that’s him, he’s also in the background of fan pictures and walking behind Joe in the paparazzi pictures of Bash and Olivia.

R159 what are they doing? Are they suppose to be dancing? lol

R159 Probably a fan in front asking for a photo. There were a few fans in front that got photos.

How do you know Connor is a third wheel? Where you there next to them? Thought not ....

You are making assumptions over a very short video of him standing next to his friends and coming up with rubbish.

R163 I mean what do you call a guy who hangs out with a couple? Someone hook him up with a hot British guy already. I was hoping he'd find someone in France, but alas...

Connor is weirdly quiet. He’s past adventures with J&B have been ALL over instagram. Next to nothing this trip. I’m guessing he’s also doing the social media privacy thing they are all so keen on. It’s a change for Connor though! & Bash.

Lmao The Sun being The Sun of course…

Sebastian seems very sweet, those high-heeled shoes look dangerous and she’s obviously tipsy.

Can we get Connor and Joe dating rumors in retaliation? I know Connor is the mystery man Joe was seen a few times. 😋

R150 He should bring his boyfriend to the premiere

Eye rolls aside, not sure about Bash’s trousers with those shoes. Overly baggy.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Bash casually confirmed he was gay in his upcoming interview. Something along the lines of Joe's coming out, "as a gay man" to discuss his appearance in HS. I know people have glass closet theories but after the Pride dancing, inclusion of himself as the "we" in gay people not seeing history reflected, etc. he seems more comfortable with and ready for the label. Also while I don't think Joe is hurt about theories re Bash and women dating, it probably is annoying for them to see that type of speculation and an official coming out, if not saying they're a couple, would help.

I doubt Bash has been uncomfortable with the label for a very long time.

Miss Olivia right now

R166 Seems like baggy is coming back in fashion with the youngsters. Ick!

Twitter is going to break them up, you just watch.

Maybe Bash is bi.

Heresy, I know!

R173 thankfully for all that people are saying that twitter is up in arms about this, the only things i've seen aside from anonymous CC comments are actually just memes, like photos of couches with "Bash's bed tonight" or similar things. Everyone who is annoyed seems to be annoyed more that any guy and girl spotted together are assumed to be dating. Ironically DL is the only place I've seen people actively think this was a dick move or worthy of any drama.

Bash and his family have been Joe's comfort and support when no one knew who he was, now that he's famous he deserves better.

^according to them deserves better

Interestingly the biggest drama around Bash today (on twitter anyway, not here where people are convinced Joe is on the brink of suicide over the pics) was actually from Olivia fans calling him a clout chaser, and saying he supported an abuser because he followed Johnny Depp on Instagram and liked a tweet about him. Tonight Bash went through a big Instagram cleanse and unfollowed something like 70 people, including Depp. He or his team are really on monitoring his social media.

R178 So they know Joe fans were calling him (in a joking way) a cheater who needs to sleep on the couch? Well, good. That's funny.

And it's pretty obvious they know everyone knows they are dating. So he shouldn't make mistakes like that again in public. Even if Joe doesn't care, doesn't mean fans aren't going to get feisty about the perceived slight. Like all could have been avoided if Joe walked out with the two of them.

Most of the people calling him out for being an 'abuse apologist' were doing it the CC's in the guise of anons so now I'm wondering if he has seen what all was being said about him in those CC's after the pap pics dropped cause people were being downright nasty about him in there.

R180 to be fair while those CCs were brutal the fans were also calling them out immediately, and saying they were all pretty clearly spammed in by the same few people. I’m sure it still stings to read people think you’re clout chasing, denying your boyfriend, and so on but I think the underlying idea that the larger fanbase didn’t agree was clear. However even the bigger fan accounts seemed uneasy about his depp support and the most they said to support him was that maybe he wasn’t aware of all the details, so I think he or his manager, whoever, understood it was important to nip that in the bud right away

Mistake? Getting press ain't a mistake.

All press isn't good press when your claim to fame and why people like you is because you are super nice and lovey dovey with a guy and gay and you got press for being an evil cishet man while your boyfriend walks sadly behind you. Daily Mail didn't even know who he was and the article didn't actually gain any traction anywhere other than twitter. Not like it trended.

Bash isn't out. The fanbase doesn't speak of him as gay. Some even write of him as an ally...

R184 95% of them think he's queer, they won't say gay obviously since that's an evil label. Ally people are pretty rare, though there are some who still don't think Joe is gay either.

ONTD - there are some new photos here. Someone in the comments said they see white powder in her nostril LOL

R178 Wtf is this thing with Johnny Depp? So they know better than the courts now? #teamjohnny always.

Bash was following 599 people he's now following 423.

R185 Ally people are not rare, the majority of gen-zers are either queer or ally. They don't think gay is a bad label. It's just that quite a few gay gen-zers don't identify much with the louder gay culture associated with it. But also, the language around labels has evolved so much the past few decades that now, to correctly label just your sex-sexuality , you need a 3 dimensional chart, or a multi-part-compound-noun. Some queer teens just don't give a f*K anymore, especially when the community around them is nonchalant enough about it.

It's funny that a (not openly) gay actor can appear a good bunch of times with his boyfriend and the most the press say is that they are roommates, but he can appear with a female friend and inmediately they are dating

Welcome to Straight Entitlement.

I bet Bash won't be sharing anything any time soon. There's already a couple of shitty comments on his latest post.

Shitty comments about what?

[quote] those high-heeled shoes look dangerous and she’s obviously tipsy

She’s got an entourage for that R166

R192 "he is just pretending to be an ally & approach to Joe. So he can gain the fame & followers. Such a c****t 😢" is one of them, can't find the others now.

I can’t see any shitty comments besides a few homophobic ones.

Bash liked 😂

This is such a minor storm for him/them to weather. I understand how people read into the photos and that it doesn't look great that Joe was just trailing behind but that's how the initial photos and videos of Pride looked, too. Bash is very sociable and mildly chaotic and Joe seems a bit calmer and tamer and to have some degree of resting sad face, he also looked lost at the Dior show. We saw Bash up front with Kit and Connor while Joe trailed back with the parents when he wasn't doing promo with Kit, and people thought the Pride post from Bash was shitty. Then people see them being happy and holding hands later at Adele, and later videos and photos come out of affectionate moments from them during Pride. Bash and Joe had been at an afterparty together with Olivia for hours prior to the photos being taken. I'm sure he didn't maintain 6 feet of distance from his boyfriend the whole time, and a 5 second paparazzi encounter isn't the huge sign of disrespect for the relationship it's being treated as.

tl;dr

Bash has 2 movies on IMDb that haven't been released and were filmed a while ago. 2019-2020 for Dampyr and I think 2016 for Wonderwell. Are they going to die in development hell or eventually be released? IMDb says an October 20 "expected release" for Dampyr but I doubt it if we haven't heard anything about it yet.

Development comes before filming...

Has the Dead Boy Detectives show wrapped? Bash is probably hoping it gets cancelled A.S.A.P.

R198 Dampyr says 20th October for release in Italy, so I wonder if it makes it to the Uk.

Carrie Fisher passing away will have delayed Wonderwell but they keep pushing it further back for some reason.

Bash was 16 when he filmed Wonderwell. Kinda doesn’t work that well for teen actors to have a movie come out 4 years later. He looked so young at 16 & now obviously looks like a young adult. He’s probably improved as an actor too in that time.

Carrie Fisher dying would have delayed it sure, but 4 years?! Unless it’s something to do with her estate blocking it being released or something..

R202 He was 14 when they started filming, so an even bigger age gap. On his Storm Models profile, written as he was filming HS, it says it was coming out this year, so last year. Something is clearly keep knocking it back.

It could be Bash's performance.

Maybe they can dub him with Glenn Close.

Any of your think he and joe will last, even after heartstopper is done ???

Define last.

R207. Walking down the aisle. Tieing the knot. Saying their vows. Maybe even adopting kids or dogs ??? Is that enough for you ???

They're 18 and 20 right now so I am not predicting wedding bells and a family for any teenage relationships. If they manage to last through the end of Heartstopper filming and airing, they'll be 21 and 23. On one hand very young still, on the other hand they will have been together for 4 years. If they make it that long then sure, they're serious enough that it might last. At a certain point they will need to confirm they're together, though. I understand why they want privacy and I don't judge them for it, but eventually there will be projects they don't work on together and to bring each other as dates to premiers and things, being ambiguous won't really work.

I think Bash is more career driven and will drop Joe as soon as he's proven to be inconvenient.

If their careers continue to centre on the UK, they might stay together. Otherwise, it's Splitsville.

Bash looks very hot in "Dampyr". He used to have a whole highlights section dedicated to pics from its set on his IG, but unfortunately it's gone now.

It co-starred Wade Briggs of "Please Like Me."

They filmed it in Romania and that’s when Bash saw a bear on the street and went on live freaking out 😂

Genuinely 12 minutes of him just repeating “that’s a bear!!” He’s not exposed to much wildlife in London. His jaw has developed a good bit in the past few years.

First and last time he's shown an interest in bears.

[Quote] just repeating “that’s a bear!!”

He should have made a version for Pride.

R214 i watched the whole thing and only saw glimpse of a bear for like a split second.

R214 That video is too funny lol

Dampyr set:

When he was asked where he was when he found out that he got the part on HS he said he was filming in Atlanta,. Anyone know what he was filming there?

R220 Doom Patrol is filmed in Georgia. Don't know how the dates line up but that's my best guess.

Yes he was there for Doom Patrol

I loved Ty Tennant and Bash on Doom Patrol. I wonder if they still hang out.

LOL was sat watching Sky News and look who popped up -- I thought you'd enjoy. He's very charismatic.

....

Spotted back together today.

I thought Joe was in the IOM today?! Surely he’s not flown back for a school party & back to London in a day?!

R227 He’s crazy but it’s definitely what he did. No wonder he lives off coffee.

Love his hairy legs.

Ugh, the loon from Pink News.

R229 R230 Joe needs a pair of tweezers.

R228. Joe can’t live without having Bash’s dick far from his ass. He needs his asshole to be constantly filled with Bash’s seed.

[quote] Joe can’t live without having Bash’s dick far from his ass.

Can you blame him, though? Look at this boy! Joe gets lost in his eyes!

Pride:

R234 I bet he’s hung huge

R236 Greek guys usually are in my experience and they know how to fuck.

The new Kitrina thread. (The other is paywalled.)

R236. You bet. I wonder how loud Joe screamed when he got penetrated by Bash for the first time. Probably loud enough to awake connor jessup sleeping in the next room. Poor thing probably couldn’t walk straight the next day. And connor storing it in his head as his future wank material.🤣🤣🤣

There's another thread here for Kitrina, that outfit really did ignite conversations huh

He's so lovely!

I love how Bash "stayed away" from this post. 🤣

R242 Poor Bash. Olivia's boyfriend's boyfriend liked it though

……….

I don't believe the Kit comment for a second. He's in LA at the moment.

(I don't mean Kit wasn't at London Pride, but he's super ambitious. He's not looking to be seen at an ubergay event with a boyfriend. C'mon now.)

Still not the Kit thread.

R246 I think he was prob there with a guy and the person assumed. he's just too controlling of his image to bring a boyfriend to a public place. 100% buy Joe and Bash sucking face in front of his mother though.

I fully believe that in a VIP area Bash and Joe would be all over one another. They're very affectionate and snuggly even generally in public, at plays and the Jubilee. If they had any expectation of even slightly more privacy than that they'd absolutely be all over one another, especially as the event itself they were mostly doing HS promo.

[quote] Greek guys...know how to fuck.

They have classical training.

Has the Zoom interview with Joe Locke and Owen Whatisname been archived anywhere?

Yep, here r251

Joe's thread is now paywalled. Can someone start a new one please?

Thanks, r252. They could have titled that video better.

Can’t you create a Joe thread?

Hello, Joe!

Sebastian liked this, how cute.

R258 he and joe are codependent enough that he probably sent it to him today during Joe's time at the theatre. cute.

Looks like Jonathan Bailey was also at the Soho House festival yesterday. He followed Joe and Yaz on Instagram a little while ago but Bash and the show creator just yesterday. People were speculating he might join S2 but it's also possible he just met Bash yesterday in the VIP/private area and followed him after.

[quote] Looks like Jonathan Bailey was also at the Soho House festival yesterday. He followed Joe and Yaz on Instagram a little while ago but Bash and the show creator just yesterday.

I can't remember exactly when it was that Jonathan started following Bash but it wasn't yesterday. I think it was on the day that Bash&Joe went to see Frozen.

Anyway, can we get Jonathan playing Ben's love interest in the show ! Please, pretty please!

That would be so 🔥

^Oops i forgot he plays a 16yo! 🤣

r262

16 is the age of consent in the UK.

[R244] will they share pictures or is that it?

I think that pic is all.

Seen together this morning.

R266 That person has since tweeted they’re in Greece, so I assume they saw Joe and Bash at the Airport.

R266 Bash shared a story at 5 am local time i wonder where they're going .

An After session.

Finally actual vacation time maybe?

🔥🔥

Preview of the interview for Glass Man

Did he tell the stylist he wanted to wear Joe’s suit from the soho house shoot?

Oasis going on tour?! Sebastian No...

[quote] interview for Glass Man

I didn't know they had a magazine specifically for glass-closeted celebrities!

R272 “English-Greek Sebastian Croft” sounds hot

I wonder if he speaks any Greek, his sister does and has written in Greek on her social media

He's not Greek he's Greek Cypriot, get your facts right Glass Man, there's a difference. 🇨🇾

Greek-Cypriot people often call themselves Greek interchangeably. Greek-Cypriots ARE ethnic Greeks:

What's the difference?

R279 Well, it's a different country. Greeks live in Greece 🇬🇷 Greek Cypriots live on the island of Cyprus 🇨🇾

Why don't they just call themselves Cypriots?

Paywall so new thread:

R282 Bad thread OP!

R281 Because there are also Turkish Cypriots - there was a war between the two in the '70s, so Cypriot identity is somewhat contentious, to say the least.

Ah. Thanks, r284.

Paywalled?
