@pinknews: #heartstopper star @Bradley Riches sat down with us to discuss how the success of the show has changed his life, leading him on to new ventures including starring in @babies The Musical… His character in Babies is one of nine Year-11 pupils who have to keep robot infants alive as part of their sex-education class. Playing a character who embraces his identity at such a young age is emotional for Riches, who didn’t feel comfortable in his own skin as a queer person until he was 20. He is now 22. “[Toby’s] a character I wish I was at school. I wish I was that open, that free, that confident with who I was. It was quite cathartic to play him in some ways, thinking about 16-year-old me.” #lgbtq #musical #netflix #broadway
