Meanwhile, Joe Locke caught up with Amelia Dimoldenberg on the red carpet, where the interview led into the question of who would win a thumb war between Locke and Connor. Locke very confidently responded, “Me.”
“Kit’s all bark, no bite,” Locke continued. “I say that to him all the time… I could definitely beat Kit.”
Locke and Connor star opposite one another in the British queer coming-of-age rom-com series, Heartstopper, which originally premiered in 2022.
But they weren’t the only Heartstopper stars in attendance: Yasmin Finney also walked the Oscars red carpet.

Netflix has not yet confirmed if the beloved show will return for a fourth season. Meanwhile, Locke said in his red carpet interview with Dimoldenberg that if he could cast any spell for Oscars night, it would be the “employability spell.”
“I feel like this is the best room to get a job in,” he continued. “No audition needed.”
