Locke has become a household name for LGBTQ representation through his role in the hit Netflix young adult drama series about two young men who meet and fall in love. He told the Guardian newspaper he was surprised the series hadn't been met with more hostility from right-wing homophobes, particularly in the US.
The series, one of the most popular streaming platforms in the world, has now started its third season and has made its two leads, Locke and Kit Connor, huge stars.
Locke told The Guardian: "This world is a very scary place sometimes, and it feels a bit weird that Heartstopper has been almost immune to that – a lot of queer shows get a lot of hate from right-wing groups, and Heartstopper doesn't, and I don't really understand why."
