People have mentioned seeing Bash’s parents there at least 5 of the nights. It actually makes me wonder if they went every single night and just went always recognized. They are so supportive of Joe! That’s actually the biggest factor that makes me believe Joe and Bash are in a very committed loving relationship. Bash’s parents are already acting like supportive in-laws.

It was a shame that there was way more hype around Kit and Bash's film announcements than there was about Joe basically changing laws on the Isle of Man. Also I suspect he isn't majorly publicising the NTAs thing because he knows Kit will likely win. Also he's just been busy with the play.

My worst case scenario would be if they hooked up and it ended poorly, fucking up their dynamic on the show.

At least Bash mostly did his thing already so if they have a bad breakup it won’t really matter and would probably only help a more antagonistic dynamic.

If that ten year career of theirs was the reason they are managing to land roles now, they would've done it way before Heartstopper. And didn't Kit say he was thinking of dropping acting before he hit it big with Heartstopper cause he was finding it hard to bag roles?

So, yeah, obviously people will compare when irrelevant characters on the show also seem to be benefiting from the Heartstopper fame but not Joe.

by Anonymousreply 100August 31, 2022 1:07 PM

Being a childhood actor means shit for an adult career unless you think Kit and Bash are getting roles due to connections they had before. The HS cast were all pretty much on an even playing field after the show aired.

Yes, he's only 18 but he's also riding a wave of popularity right now so it would have been nice for him to land some kind of role outside of HS. Maybe something is still coming though. Since so far it seems like other than his social media followers exploding (which he obviously is uncomfortable with) and getting a lot of expensive free clothes, he's benefited the least from the show despite being the main character.

by Anonymousreply 109August 31, 2022 3:45 PM

But who’s to say he can’t pick up leading (straight passing) roles - if that’s actually what he wants - he's an actor, after all, and I’d hope pretty versatile. Or maybe theatre will be his thing.

Who knows what he’ll want to do next but will be interesting to see how he positions himself with his next role.

by Anonymousreply 110August 31, 2022 3:46 PM

Like R109 said, we don't know what he has coming up. He's also gone from zero fame to quite intense fame basically overnight, so he may not have the desire to jump straight into another big/wide-reaching project. Maybe the lower-key theatre gig was just what he wanted at this point, while he adjusts to the Heartstopper fame and his new life.

I think he's a good actor - perhaps not as strong as Kit (yet) but still good - but being brutally honest, Kit is just far more obviously 'TV/film attractive'. I'm not saying Joe is unattractive but he won't fit neatly into the romcom-type lead role easily, sadly, and this may restrict his options. He's very smart and seemingly political though, so I sort of hope he goes for the more high-brow, thoughtful roles.

As for Yaz, I thought she was one of the weakest and most wooden actors in Heartstopper. Let's be honest, a big part of her success is that she fills a very specific 'current' demographic - trans woman of colour. If it were based on her acting skills alone, there's no way she'd be this successful already.

by Anonymousreply 111August 31, 2022 3:57 PM

Not to belabour the point too much but agree overall with the commenters here saying joe has a tougher time at their current age due solely to “look” and yes, being less straight passing. I actually thought he pulled it off in the play which is a good sign, but as others have said he’s less traditional teen heartthrob, and too young for a lot of the “serious” roles and that’s tough. Oddly I can see him having a good TV career, especially as British shows like people who don’t often fit that traditional look, but fitting in another decent sized role in a tv show is tough with HS filming at least another two seasons, so we may see a lot more of his success after that.

I understand others saying Bash and Kit’s additional experience isn’t the reason they’re getting cast, their HS success is - but I think experience on a film set, not having to be taught anything from scratch, in addition to passing as straight and having the “right” look and height helps them a lot. Good for Yaz re Doctor Who and this new thing but Joe can’t turn into a black trans woman so not much role overlap, and I’m still unsure how big her role in Doctor Who will be so until we see that I’m not counting it as a huge thing (obviously good on the resume but she’s not leading a wide release film or whatever). If it is just his agency shitting the bed hopefully he changes over, but I’m still intrigued by his LA meeting and have my fingers crossed for him something good comes of it.

by Anonymousreply 112August 31, 2022 6:26 PM

YMMV, but I think he’d be able to pass as straight in roles. Romcom/heartthrob roles aren’t the only straight roles.

by Anonymousreply 113August 31, 2022 7:40 PM

R113 I don’t disagree - I think that’s where the current age comes in. Sorry if I was unclear. Just a lot of the teen roles are romantic ones (there’s a reason both kit and Bash immediately booked rom coms). As he enters his 20s and starts looking older there’ll be more roles where being the “romantic leading man” isn’t the selling point but for a lot of teen roles it’s either play that or be the dorky best friend which maybe wouldn’t be the best career move.

by Anonymousreply 114August 31, 2022 7:45 PM

Can he act in a wheelchair?

by Anonymousreply 115August 31, 2022 7:49 PM

I think he can probably pass as straight, the play he just did is an example, but he's also not really what you'd call a heartthrob. He's cute and looks like a kid. A really skinny kid. Bash and Kit look like young adult men. He's not the type of actor that's going to get hired for the fangirls to wish they could date. That's not the only roles out there, but those teen romcoms are pretty popular for young actors. Joe might have to wait a little longer for something good to pop up.

They are around twitter. A lot of pictures are already seen, just without the context of when they were posted. There's so much. Honestly Joe used to be bold as fuck in what he'd post. People say Bash is more guarded now, but Joe is completely different after the show aired.

The Connor thing is funny since he always seemed to really like them together together and as a couple and provided a lot of content of the two of them. Well, DL is gonna DL I suppose

R127 Connor got to know Bash in 2019 when he was filming Locke and Key with Bash’s friend and old costar Emilia Jones. DL noticed that he got a bit obsessed with Bash even then, go look through the old Connor threads from back then for old instagram stories and comments. This was before Heartstopper and Joe.

by Anonymousreply 129September 1, 2022 4:14 PM

Most Connor threads are deleted nowadays, though I do remember people saying even when he was with Miles he seemed like Bash, but to me it never seemed like anything serious. Bash is just flirty in public in general. Connor fans should not have taken it too seriously.

Espeically once Joe got in the picture, when people were still saying Connor and Bash were fucking each other behind Joe's back. Don't know about his feelings, but he didn't ever seem bitter about Joe popping up since he is as friendly with Joe as he is with Bash

by Anonymousreply 130September 1, 2022 4:23 PM

I don't think Bas is default flirty. He's default ingratiating, which is not the same thing.

That's cool, the three of them together will be nice. I wonder if there'll be any vague tension after Kit likely wins the NTA. I assume Joe is resigned to it already so hopefully it won't bother him too much.

by Anonymousreply 134September 1, 2022 6:03 PM

Joe doesn’t seem like a particularly resentful person, he was texting and updating Kit on his IMDb Star Meter position when Kit was in the top 10 and Joe was in the 80s.

by Anonymousreply 135September 1, 2022 6:07 PM

R135 agreed, he seems genuinely quite sweet about his castmates successes and resigned to Kit winning. Think it’s probably good he hasn’t been promoting voting for them etc, a bit of distance from the results is good. I’m sure it’ll be a disappointment still of course but would be surprised to see it cause tension

by Anonymousreply 136September 1, 2022 6:19 PM

R135 R136 True, he's already come into Heartstopper with the knowledge that Kit is far more experienced than he is, and has been in lots of stuff beforehand including a big film (Rocketman). So he probably has little issue with it. It'll be great if they win the 'new show' category or whatever Heartstopper was in.

Same, voted for Joe and will continue doing so. Although we know that Kit will be winning it given that he's got the backing of almost the entire HS fanbase.

by Anonymousreply 142September 1, 2022 7:43 PM

I’m worried all the Joe fans will vote once for Joe and once for Kit, and the Kit fans will vote 50 times for Kit and forget Joe even exists. Can’t imagine Joe winning with those odds, but still think he deserves it the most.

by Anonymousreply 143September 1, 2022 7:50 PM

Because he's out?

by Anonymousreply 144September 1, 2022 7:50 PM

R144 I don’t think Joe being out is the issue in this case. HS is told primarily from Charlie’s point of view. The viewer is supposed to relate to and empathize with Charlie, and fall in love with Nick. Young viewers (who will vote multiple times) miss that Joe’s acting is what drew them into the story and focus only on the crush they now have on Nick/Kit. Also the vast majority of HS fans are teen girls, many of whom identify as bi, so they also relate to Nick’s storyline.

by Anonymousreply 145September 1, 2022 7:58 PM

Or maybe Joe's acting didn't draw them into the story?

R140 I’m outside of the UK so my votes wouldn’t count, I’m just here for the ride.

I don’t think that Joe’s acting didn’t draw people in, he was excellent especially for a first role, but Kit is a stronger actor and the strongest among the 6 teens in the ensemble.

by Anonymousreply 150September 1, 2022 8:22 PM

Joe's acting didn't fuck up the groove. He's not the "Poor Michelle" of Heartstopper. But he didn't dominate or excel. He's likeable and he has a fraility that works for the part. Hopefully, he shows more dimension in the future.

He might be in IOM but I’m guessing he also might just not have gotten a nomination / knew Kit was winning the award and didn’t feel like going to see Kit win over him in advance of likely seeing the same thing at the NTAs. Joe seems remarkably non bitter and happy for his castmates success but I wouldn’t blame him for wanting to be back in IOM or legit even just chilling in London instead of attending. Especially given he opened their Brighton house and did a spread for it

by Anonymousreply 157September 1, 2022 8:51 PM

Kit has an efficient team backing him up and getting things done for him. Same can't be said about Joe's agency/publicist or whatever who just appear to be damn lazy.

by Anonymousreply 162September 1, 2022 9:26 PM

I’m not saying this in a Joe’s a baby that must be coddled way, but I get the feeling he doesn’t want to be a huge star. HS is way bigger than anyone expected, and since it came out he’s pulled way back from social media. I think he’s a talented actor who enjoys acting, but doesn’t necessarily enjoy interacting with crazy fan girls. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does more stage acting between filming seasons of HS, not because he can’t get film work, but because he wants to act in interesting roles for a smaller audience.

If he starts winning lots of awards, I’m sure he’ll be presently surprised. But I don’t believe any part of him is jealous of Kit right now. Obviously, this is all speculation. Nobody knows what these guys are thinking. Just my current impression.

by Anonymousreply 163September 1, 2022 9:37 PM

No one's saying he's jealous of Kit.

All people be wanting is for his agency or his team to MOVE and start marketing him a bit more. Maybe more photoshoots or maybe make him attend some shows like the one today. To keep the buzz around him still intact. He's legit not doing anything now so what's stopping them from making sure that their client is booked in some way?

by Anonymousreply 164September 1, 2022 9:44 PM

I get what you’re saying R163. None of us actually know him or Kit so who knows, but I’m guessing like most people he feels a combination of things. It can objectively suck to lose an award and be overlooked in favour of a costar while also still wanting to occupy a different niche and being glad you’re not in the same level of fangirling devotion. I hope his agency is good and lines him up with things that will advance his career in a way he enjoys.

by Anonymousreply 165September 1, 2022 9:45 PM

There's no way to know, really. Joe could be auditioning for lots of big projects - many movies have boyish types in them, not just the hunky lead - that we don't know about.

R169 I guess. Not into capeshit, but he's part of the Young Avengers. He married Wiccan. Alice drew Nick and Charlie as the two before so that's where people kept getting Kit would be a perfect Hulking. I think he'd get too much shit if he did take another gay role and kept with his unlabeled nonsense though.

R172 HS fans aren't big compared to MCU fans. Kit already got called a queerbaiter which set him off to have to expertly shut down people constantly and led to this whole issue of his sexuality being questioned constantly.

Don’t think Kit would even get the part if he wasn’t part of the community and willing to come out. A Marvel press tour is a different beast compared to the HS press.

That being said, I get why Joe and Kit are fancast so often as Wiccan and Hulking.

R185 i can’t see it being anyone except Joe or MAYBE Yaz or Will. Realistically outside them and Kit, Bash is more known and liked than the other cast members so I feel like they’d save him for last if it was Kizzy or Corinna or Tobie or whoever. Also if they used the hi line which only Nick and Charlie are “known for” in the show to promote Yaz or someone that would be idiotic.

Think it’s also almost definitely Joe given they are confirming him and Bash back to back. They’re not so obsessive one couldn’t do a fan convention without the other but I can see the other one being there as additional incentive to sign on.

by Anonymousreply 189September 2, 2022 12:45 PM

It's gotta be Joe, surely. I assume this means the trio will do a panel together? That could be fun - I hope someone films it because then we'd have actual Joe/Bash interactions that last longer than 2 seconds. Although how that would work when they're still keeping their relationship a secret will be interesting...
