Joe Locke and Kit Connor recently confessed that their seven-hour sex scenes left them both feeling “exhausted” and covered in “scabs” on their chins that wouldn’t heal because they had to kiss so much on set.
During an interview with GQ MagazineJoe, 21, and Kit, 20, talked about filming season three and how they took things to the next level, as well as the horror of rewatching the show with their parents.
Revealing how long their naughty scenes lasted, Kit said: “We shot the sexy scenes for seven hours, which, you know, is enough. We were both exhausted. Joe got a huge scab on his chin.”
Joe chimed in saying it was “horrible” while Kit explained that they both had their own stubble, a classic case of beard burn from all the kissing.
The stars also mentioned that they were “kissing so much” during scenes that the scabs weren’t healing, in fact, they were getting worse.
Joe Locke and Kit Connor recently confessed that their seven-hour sex scenes left them both feeling “exhausted” and covered in “scabs” on their chins that wouldn’t heal because they had to kiss so much on set.
During a new interview, Joe, 21, and Kit, 20, opened up about filming season 3 and how they took things to the next level.
As comfortable as they are with each other, the ease of filming the racy scenes hasn’t necessarily translated to seeing them played out on screen.
As Joe revealed he can’t stand to watch even the “wholesome sex scenes” with his mother and told her she could watch them alone.
She confessed: “A few weeks ago I was watching the screener with my mum and I almost stopped at episode six, because I thought: ‘You can’t watch this with your mum’. I can’t even watch the sex scenes.”
The actor added: “We went and sat on the couch, but it was tense and awkward and I was like, ‘Yeah, you know what? You can watch this on your own. You have my Netflix account. You have the PIN. Just watch it on your own.'”
This comes after Heartstopper fans were left “crying and vomiting” when Netflix released the trailer for the show’s third season last week.
Netflix viewers couldn’t contain their excitement for the new release when the trailer began with Charlie Spring, played by Joe, listening to music on the beach.
Then Nick Nelson, played by Kit, ran up and gave him a playful punch in the face.
The clip then featured a mix of voiceovers from many of the show’s characters.

Despite how comfortable they are with each other, the ease of filming the raunchy scenes hasn’t translated to seeing them played out on screen, with Joe revealing he can’t stand to watch even the “wholesome sex scenes” with his mother.
It began like this: “At sixteen, nothing makes sense anymore. Starting sixth grade and thinking about university options is… too much.”
The trailer then teased a delicate storyline about Charlie’s mental health, as he is seen distancing himself from his group of friends and dealing with his eating disorder.
Nick shares his concerns with Charlie and tells him that he’s “really worried” because he’s noticed that he’s been “really stressed.”
Viewers also got to see the debut of Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey.
He plays Instagram-famous author Jack Maddox.
Viewers were also treated to a few seconds of a live-action version of the comic’s emotional shower scene.
This is where Charlie and Nick confess their love for the first time, a moment eagerly awaited by fans.
But that’s not what had fans in a frenzy, as many noticed the conspicuous absence of Olivia Colman, who played Nick’s mother in seasons one and two.
While many fans wondered if she had been replaced after seeing a beach scene between Nick and a new mother figure, Olivia has not been replaced.

Netflix viewers couldn’t contain their excitement for the new release when the trailer began with Charlie Spring, played by Joe, listening to music on the beach.
The woman on the beach is in fact Nick’s aunt and Olivia confirmed to Forbes earlier this year that she “couldn’t fit in[on the shoot].”
She told the publication: “I couldn’t do number three. I couldn’t do it. I feel really bad about that.”
Netflix confirmed to MailOnline that just because she won’t be able to star in season three doesn’t mean she’s been replaced long-term.
The streaming giant told MailOnline: “There is no casting replacement for Olivia Colman in the upcoming season.”
Even though Olivia confirmed that she would not be starring in the new season, fans were excited at the idea of her being replaced while confessing their enthusiasm for the show.
