Kit Connor has revealed his animated crush, and fans (including us) couldn’t agree more with his choice. On 24 October, the Broadway revival of Romeo + Juilet finally held its opening night after months of anticipation.
Directed by Sam Gold with music from Jack Antonoff, the Heartstopper star portrays Romeo alongside the talented Rachel Zegler as Juliet.
The official synopsis reads: “The youth are fucked. Left to their own devices in their parents’ world of violent ends, an impulsive pair of star-crossed lovers hurtle towards their inescapable fate. “The intoxicating high of passion quickly descends into a brutal chaos that can only end one way.” Before taking the stage as the iconic star-crossed lover, Connor hit the red carpet to spill all the tea about the show, his Broadway debut and even his animated crush.
During an interview with the popular TikTok duo Grant Gibbs and Ashley Gill (aka ‘A Twink and a Readhead’), Connor was asked which animated character he would fall for in a week. “Like, you would give them the Romeo treatment,” Gibbs added.
