The actor Kit Connorwho plays Nick in the Hearstopper series, commented on his bisexuality and vented about the pressure that celebrities suffer to label their sexuality.

During an interview with Interview Magazine the 19-year-old actor revealed that he has met some people who are being forced to “come out of the closet” and advised not to be shaken by the criticism from netizens.

“I’ve met certain people in the last year who are going through these kinds of things, where they’ve been to a show that blows up or something, and then they suddenly find themselves in this world where there’s a lot of eyes on them. Who you are as a person is suddenly very important to others. There is something very strange and wrong about this.“, he spoke.

“But the advice I would give is what I tried to teach myself last year: people will always have something to say. And you don’t have to fit into these boxes that people will try to fit you into.” he said.

“I would tell anyone in a similar situation to just try to be who you are and try to be aware of the fact that no matter who you are, someone is going to be upset about it in some way.“, completed.

Kit also commented on his disappointment with the spectacularization of his sexuality and stated that after that he learned to separate his personal life from his professional life: “I found it very disappointing, especially given my age.. Although I don’t think it should be something to be speculated about at any age.”

“I really wanted to have that limit. It was my private information and my personal life that I wanted to keep to myself. So I was kind of frustrated with myself for giving up“, finished.
