Kit Connor is a British actor best known for his breakout role as Nick Nelson in the popular Netflix series "Heartstopper."
Born in London, Connor gained early recognition for his roles in "Rocketman," where he portrayed a young Elton John, and in the Christmas movie "Get Santa." He also had a recurring role in the series "Rocket's Island," and a voice role in the series "His Dark Materials." However, it was his portrayal of Nick, a high school rugby player exploring his sexuality in "Heartstopper," that catapulted him to international fame, earning widespread praise for his nuanced and heartfelt performance.
Connor’s work in the young-adult Netflix series has resonated with audiences worldwide, particularly for its sensitive depiction of LGBTQ+ themes. The show, adapted from Alice Oseman’s graphic novels, has been lauded for its authentic storytelling and representation, with Connor’s portrayal of Nick becoming a central part of its success. His performance earned him nominations for several awards, and he quickly became a role model for young fans, advocating for inclusivity and mental health awareness.
Connor can be seen in the upcoming films "A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow," a romantic comedy; the psychological thriller-mystery” movie "One of Us"; and the war movie "Warfare." In addition, he made his Broadway debut in the musical adaptation of "Romeo + Juliet" in September 2024.
Outside of acting, Connor maintains a low public profile but continues to champion important social causes, particularly around LGBTQ+ rights and self-expression.
