00:00Are you I'm good. I'm good. I'm excited. Oh, it's here. I know it's crazy. This is a big cop it
00:06This is your first LA carpet ever premier for anything. So it was heart stopper
00:13So, yeah, tell me what's it like stepping on a purple carpet with Patti LuPone, it's amazing
00:19It's like I just then I was doing a thing. I was like, hey look I'm stood next to me
00:23It's cool. She knows who you are
00:26Yeah
00:28Remember when we did the podcast I said, is it a musical? You said ask me later in the year. What could you tell me?
00:35It's got musical elements. There's definitely music in the show
00:39Tell me about the moment your first time singing with Patti LuPone
00:42so the first time we were recording one of the versions of something in the show and
00:47It was Patti was recording and then I was recording and then they were doing warm-up and Patti was like, I'm Patti LuPone
00:53I so she went in and they're like right Joe your turn after she's balanced out these top notes and I'm like
00:58Right. Yeah, cool. Yeah, let's just follow Patti LuPone
01:02But then almost like you can't follow Patti LuPone, which almost makes the nerves sort of go away after that
01:08I'm not gonna live up to that unreachable thing. So I'm just gonna go and have fun. So who is teen teen is teen?
01:15Teens a great character teen is teen
01:18There you've heard it here first teen is to you that he won't watch the show
01:22So they're gonna watch it John they're gonna watch teens teen and he's a very cool character
01:26How hard is it to keep all these secrets? I've gone so good in now
01:29Also, I don't have that long left to keep them. So I've come two years. I've been keeping these secrets a long time
01:35That's pretty good. I found I got the part two weeks two years ago like that's weak. So
01:40The show has been described to me as the gayest to Marvel project to date. Do you agree? I
01:48Would say so. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's got many layers and definitely gay is one of them
01:54I mean for someone like you you started off in the business. You're in a gay show now, you're in another gay show
02:00It's like not new for you
02:01No
02:02I think that's also one of the great things about the show is it's like
02:05Hoster boy is very like the queerness is the plot of the show where this is like teens careers be the queer characters in
02:10The show but it's not like the the driving force of the plot, which is I think really great
02:15It's really like a really nice just having these positive queer characters
02:19In the show, it's great and tell me about when you weren't shooting
02:24I'm told you guys didn't go to your trailers. You just got together started singing having fun. What were you singing?
02:31Anything that was on pies phone pie had this speaker. She'd walk around with and so speaker like Han speaker like a little yellow
02:38Yeah, she just walk around with and would have just son time all the time
02:42You know, I actually wasn't that much musical stuff. It was like a lot of like
02:46Many represent was on there quite a lot read a lot. Yeah, give me a little why'd you sing Joe? No, no
02:55When you're gonna get Patty on heartstopper, I would have Patty on house to print a heartbeat who should she play
03:01I think she'd be like the cool kooky drama teacher
03:04Who like Charlie goes to you for some emotional support?
03:08And tell me about the new season of heartstopper. What should we expect? It's it's you know, the show is growing up the characters
03:14It's still off double though
03:16The first half of the season we really like deal into Charlie's mental health and his eating disorder
03:21And the second half of the season is more about
03:23The characters exploring sex the first time and that moving on in their relationship in that way
03:28You ever think you'd be getting there in heartstopper that there'd be enough seasons where it's exploring sex. I think secretly we did
03:36I think we've always had high hopes for the show
03:38Even if they will have it. I'm so happy to finally meet you
