Sebastian Croft

From the upcoming gay Netflix show "Heartstoppers".

He and his co-star Joe Locke look quite coupley in their pictures together (and there's a lot of those). Do you think they're an item?

I hadn't even seen this one when I started the thread, lol.

They also jointly sent a birthday cake to their friend, DL fave Connor Jessup.

They’re cute. R8 I’m guessing Connor knows Sebastian through his Locke & Key costar Emilia.

Oh, right, r10, that makes sense; I wasn't aware of that connection.

Am I the only one who thinks these kids are butt-ass ugly? How the fuck are they on TV? Maybe they did “favors” for Brian Singer.

R13

I find them adorable, and would suck both of them dry in a heartbeat - but if you think they're "butt-ass ugly", why do you think Bryan Singer would be interested in soliciting "favors" from them?

Better version of the hand-holding pic:

[Quote] why do you think Bryan Singer would be interested in soliciting "favors" from them?

I don't think they're ugly (Sebastian has very pretty eyes. And his nose suits his face.) However, most of twinks photographed with Bryan Singer were on the homely side.

[Quote] They look related. Eww.

Are you white?

Calling him "love" could just be a camp British actor thing (hence "luvvie"), but it adds up.

What a sweet adorable couple - and yes they are definitely a couple

They arent absolute stunners, not perfect 10's but they definitely arent ugly either by a long stretch

You want butt ugly? Here's butt ugly for real

Joe reposted Sebastian's story. They're very cute, a lot less secretive than say Connor and Miles were the first year or so of dating.

I think they're very cute. Part of that is the affection they clearly feel for each other.

I like that they're not thirsty, though.

They attended Sebastian's sister's wedding together today!

They're definitely a couple then.

I'm assuming the previous 26 posts are from the same person.

At Sebastian's sister's wedding..

They came along just in time to take over from Connor and Miles as the ruling twink power couple.

This thread has 29 replies, though. I don't think DL sees it for them.

r30

Sure, but their Netflix show isn't out yet - once it's released and they become more famous (Joe is a complete newcomer at this point), DL might come around.

Joe made a racy joke in his IG stories.

Sebastian’s original story showed Joe putting Seb’s GQ magazines on display; he captioned “Doing God’s work”. Joe quoted Sebastian’s original story and added “I am God’s work”.

They’re itching to let folks know they’re fucking.

Joe has taken Sebastian hone to meet the family.

OMG, I used to work with his dad (who is very nice) and met "Bash" over a decade ago when he was a kid.

Joe has his mother's whole face.

Oh, cool, r37.

Maybe you can answer something I was wondering about - is Sebastian the grandson of the sitcom writer David Croft?

Spending every day together...

It should end in a double grease fire.

At least these ugly kids are fucking each other, and not spreading it to the general population.

They've created the beast with two backs, definitely.

Ok, which one of them is the villain and which is the victim?

One has a sadly concave face and the other an appalling convex one.

They're both equally fug, in different ways, as R46 has said.

Bash enjoys a colorful pant.

R34 Taking the Veronica Lake Look to extremes

They're not remotely good looking, just young.

And yet they've got what you crave.

R45

Both of them seem very sweet and innocent.

Joe is 17 and Sebastian is 19. Young love!

R49

Connor Jessup says he dresses like Oscar Wilde.

R55 Their friendship is cute

"Coupley" Is not a word. Stop making shit up.

R57

Language evolves, deal with it, daddy-o.

What is Joe's middle name? Sebastian and... Joe... doesn't sound right. I shall call him Lance.

R59. All three boys on that elevator are cookie-smellers. Not a hint of testosterone.

Gay men don't have testosterone?

[quote]Brick + Skipper 4 ever

With faces like those, perhaps the show should be called "Clockstoppers."

Living the Life of Riley.

It's a YES from me if they are uncut!

Joe is 18 now. It’s time to order some drinks, make their relationship public and let his unibrow connect.

Should’ve gone with a Twitter link.

Either they're really trying to make people think they're a couple in order to sell them on the Netflix show, or they actually are a couple.

[quote] Either they're really trying to make people think they're a couple in order to sell them on the Netflix show

That strategy wouldn't make that much sense, since Sebastian doesn't even play Joe's love interest; apparently he's the antagonist in the show.

Sebastian in Doom Patrol on HBO Max

Sebastian and Ty Tennant had some good chemistry together on Doom Patrol. Apparently there's talks of a spinoff for their characters

Is Bash playing a cockney there?

I hate that curly-mop look that a lot of Gen Z guys go for (to the extent of getting perms). It’s hideous.

Joe reminds me of Olly Alexander

I like how nobody has to ask who's the top cause it's kinda obvious.

[Quote] Joe reminds me of Olly Alexander

To put it as nicely as I can, I sure hope these nice lads grow into their looks.

Would be nice to have some actual confirmation of their relationship.

Ew who cares about these two skinny fugs?

The copious pics aren't confirmation of their relationship?

R83 They're both bottoms? Is that it? Because that's what I'm getting.

Both of them homelier than a mandrill's ass.

No part of Barbara was homely.

"Heartstoppers?" More like "clock stoppers!" Maybe they'll grow into their looks.

R91

The body language in nearly all their pictures gives strong indications that Sebastian's the top.

It's luck for me you understand.

[quote]Sebastian and Ty Tennant had some good chemistry together on Doom Patrol. Apparently there's talks of a spinoff for their characters

Shame that the spinoff won't include them. I'm curious if the spinoff will even carry on with the reveal in the Doom Patrol episode that Ty Tennant's character is in love with Croft's Charles.

Nice couple, although the bottom is particularly unattractive.

Jug ears turn me on something chronic. Thank God the Brits don't correct them, and recognise them as cute.

Chalamet-esque. He's part Greek-Cypriot.

R105 real pretty in that clip

The casting for Charlie Spring is terrible. Joe Locke looks like he should be an extra in Oliver! not a romantic lead in a YA series

You probably wouldn't have cast either of leads in "Beautiful Thing.".

Talking about his hairy legs...

R108 - he looks very “charlie-ish” to me, and alice oseman seems to approve…🤷🏻‍♂️

Joe looked really nice at the Attitude Awards. I think I’ve seen a pic of Sebastian there, though they didn’t walk the red carpet together.

[Quote] though they didn’t walk the red carpet together

"Please respect our privacy."

Bash looked so good, I wonder why he didn't walk the red carpet..

Yes, it's strange to pose for pics at the reception but give the red carpet a miss.

Joe suddenly looks about twelve.

Will Gao, a model and pianist who is apparently a part of the cast.

R116 Not really since the reception was with a group as opposed to red carpet which would've likely just been the two of them.

Hardly. They could have done the red carpet separately.

Bash and Joe wearing Yasmin's shoes.

[quote]Bash is Jewish, no?

R71 Croft doesn’t sound Jewish and his mother is Greek-Cypriot (Greek Orthodox) so I doubt it.

What does “sound Jewish” mean R123 and Judaism is matrilineal, so no

R124 Croft is, and sounds like, a typical Anglo-Saxon surname:

Is this what passes as attractive now?

Uh, why are you telling me this R125

It may be weird of me but whether they are attractive or not is not the first thing I think of? They are seemingly in love and showing it to the world and are just starting out on their career. Even 15 years ago this would never have happened. Good for them! Don't tell me we are jealous again DL? Oh DL showing who you are again! I see you!

Croft looked adorable in Doom Patrol.

That's indeed a shame. The Ghost Detective Agency and the Ghosthunters in the previous season deserve spin off shows. Hell, Danny deserves his own show!

r131

Wish the last 2 seconds of that gif were a POV from my dick.

Always clinging to Bash..

I'm not familiar with the Bash thing, what is it?

R134 It's just his nickname:

R135 Wow he is really charming there. He’s like a happier and more extroverted Ben Whishaw.

Joe posted some pics from his 18th birthday:

They’re ugly. One looks on the spectrum and the other one looks like a biological female. Put some long hair on him and he’s a broad!

R138 They're not ugly, they're just British.

They're not bad-looking just meh. I don't think this TV show is casting on attractiveness either, more relatability for the young teen audience. I mean, it's a British show and they aren't afraid to cast average to homely people for realism.

Croft could be Jewish and is the surname of my very Jewish aunt.

Is R37 who knew Sebastian’s father still posting here?

He’s pretty good-looking:

That's not Scott Gill, is it?

His big green eyes are quite striking

DL fave Connor Jessup is in London hanging out with Bash and Joe - they even picked him up from the airport.

Is Alexander his Locke & Key character?

They need “an” Onlyfans.

All the kids are doing it (If not, they should.)

Onlyfans is tacky at best.

^^^ It is, but what the hell. A WEHO, with these crazy rents, a girl needs to be creative…especially at the end of the month.

Weho? Bash is a Brit. He probably still lives at home.

Both Connor and Bash come from money, while Joe’s background seems super working class. I bet Joe is trying to keep Connor from fucking Bash - Joe and Bash have only known each other for less than a year while Connor and Bash have been openly flirty since around Connor’s coming out. If Connor hadn’t been with Miles back then you know he would’ve been all over Bash, he has a Ben Whishaw-like quality and look to him that Connor is into.

Joe is playing the lead in the upcoming show. Bash is just supporting. I doubt he's worried about Connor fucking his boyfriend.

R156 Seems like Joe won't be speaking in his Northern accent in Heartstopper:

Adorable. Gay men being friends. They're like the antiDLers.

Happy boys 🇨🇦🇬🇧

Is that a well known clothing store?

Joe wearing Sebastian's clothes:

I'm surprised that neither has come out. The closet is wide open

r164

They're probably saving it for when the "Heartstopper" promo starts.

R164 I think the whole "coming out" thing is kinda redundant for them at this stage.

I think Helen Keller would have worked out that they're gay by this stage

R166 You'd be surprised. People thought Miles was straight for years. Some still do.

Pretty sure Joe is openly gay. He followed Best of Grindr on IG long before he turned 18.

Ben Hardy follows Best of Grindr. It's not exclusively gay.

Bash will come out when he gets a rainbow ad campagin.

What is Joe having? A Bucks Fizz?

R134 R135 He even wears a "Bash" ring

I fail to find these two sexy. Maybe in a few years.

Does sex always need to be an interest?

The checkered shirt Joe wore on Halloween..

R180 Seems like Joe likes wearing Sebastian's clothes pretty often. Sebastian even liked this tweet about it:

Ew. Who cares about these two fug twinks?

R182 if you don't care you can easily skip this thread

R185 It's from some charity thing for Choose Love:

R181 Joe wearing Bash's jacket-

Is Choose Love the new No H8?

Isn't Connor a fan of that book? I bet he recommended it to him.

R190 Yeah Connor loves The Song of Achilles, it's also Russell Tovey's favorite book.

Sebastian likes another gay book, Red, White & Royal Blue:

Yes, i remember Tovey saying it's his favourite book (curiously for me is not even my favourite Miller's book, i prefer Circe).

I think it's great watching a young actor at the beginning of his career being so open

Is the book very butch, then?

Eww. Looks like a photo lifted from an edition of Der Stürmer.

R193 The book is a different take to the Iliad so yes, it's about a hero and it's butch enough for Russell

r192 Sebastian and Joe saw Russell's gay West End play Constellations a while back, I wonder if they met.

God, this OP is repulsive.

They both seriously need haircuts. I hate Zoomer style.

Connor's sweet comments about Bash and Joe:

[Quote] I’ve made a lot of new friends in the last little bit. So I’ve been enjoying remembering that friendship can be a great source of energy and inspiration.

He'll probably write something for the three of them to make together.

R202 I know just the platform for it:

For some reason, I think Connor is the "lights out" type during sex.

Hanging out with Connor in a rural English cottage

Yes, they’re an item. Can we move on now?

You could just grab ahold of those ears and take a wild ride.

Connor can be a wee bit obsessive, methinks.

Connor seems to develop intense and highly-focused interests/obsessions. Someone on DL labeled him an Aspie years ago and I'm starting to see it.

I wonder how long Connor managed in the Cotswolds before telephoning (with a pencil) Bash & Co. for a visit.

After the "worst year" of his life, Connor probably sees Bash & Joe as an ideal.

At this rate he's going to end up directing a documentary about them like he did about Apichatpong.

Will they come out before the end of the year?

Well, they are pretty out, but it'll be totally public by the time their show airs

Sebastian is half Greek (on his mother's side) but doesn't really look it unlike his brother and sister:

With the family. They're apparently quite wealthy.

He is lighter than his mom and siblings, but he has those gorgeous, thick brows.

R227 Sebastian is very obviously a rich kid 💸

His father couldn't look more English.

Bash and big brother Nick:

Who keeps posting pictures of these pasty little guys, and why? What’s the appeal? This thread is constantly appearing on the DL feed and I can’t figure out why.

You can block threads, no?

R234 Why are you even here?

It's nice to see that his parents support what is probably his first serious romantic relationship.

Sebastian “Bash” Croft comes from a working class Zoroastrian family in Sweden. His mother is a Fijian heiress and his father a Mauritanian count descended from Uruguayan immigrants. The whole family are practicing Daoists except for at Chanukah when they like to swop Easter Eggs.

The name Croft is widely thought to be a diminution of the Irish MacCroftMacGaughan which fell into disuse in the 17th century. Bash is an old family nickname on his grandmother’s Polish side.

There, fixed it for y’all.

Someone has broken into the liquor cabinet...

Is the joke that his brother is channeling Freddie Mercury? I think that’s the joke. I’m going to assume that’s the joke.

I believe his brother is from before his mom and dad married. The mom also is a breast cancer survivor.

Bash and his brother could make their own "Passing" movie.

Sebastian and Connor at an art exhibition yesterday. No Joe?

Sebastian's got very lush hair. I feel like he'll grow into his looks more with age.

Joey Lawrence once had very lush hair.

Do you think the other main actor in the show (I don't know who it is) feels left out?

Kit Connor? He gives me straight vibes, so I mostly ignore him.

Nothing cute about this Sebastian character's Semitic face

R251 Joe and Kit play the sympathetic lead characters while Sebastian plays the antagonist. Joe makes out with both of them on the show, which is probably how Joe and Sebastian got together in the first place.

They all seem very friendly though. From when they all first met:

Bash, Joe and Kit hanging out a while back. Joe is wearing Bash's shirt..

Sebastian is a sweetheart

That interviewer is handsome.

Bash and Joe at Bash's sister's wedding a while back.

Joe is a pretty little thing.

Something is an attractive and self-confident yet sweet little guy.

If this what twinks look like these days, I truly weep for the future of gay men.

Sebastian’s full name is Sebastian Theodore Kemble Croft.

He is a descendant of the actor John Philip Kemble, who managed the Theatre Royal Drury Lane with his sister Sarah Siddons from 1788 to 1817. Sebastian is referred to on the Wiki page:

The brother must be from his mother's previous marriage, no way he has an English father.

Too cute. So he definitely knows Connor through Emilia Jones.

This obsession with ethnicity is borderline racist…

Is Russell Tovey stil engaged to the porn guy?

Why don't you post new content. I never knew him before and now have fallen in love with him. I don't care so much for Chalamet anymore, this guy has more charm and is way cooler than him.

He has a very pleasant speaking voice:

I've never seen someone grow into their eyes before.

I love Sebastian's big green eyes. I reckon he'll grow into his looks even more, R276.

R277 He will be a handsome man, surely.

So Ben will be as awful in the Netflix series as he is in the Heartstopper graphic novels. I was hoping they’d make him a bit more sympathetic.

Bash plays the (closeted) antagonist Ben who hooks up with Charlie (played by Joe) in secret. The first novel begins with them making out in the school library so maybe that was their first scene together.

R282 It's going to be 8 episodes at about 30 minutes each.

Ah, like "Queer as Folk."

Bash's mom works in diversity for FB.

Sebastian and Joe at their friend’s surprise birthday party. I love Sebastian’s look.

R286 Connor thinks he dresses like Oscar Wilde

Getting drunk with Connor last night:

Bash today with his family for his sister's birthday

When is the series being released? It feels like this thread was started ages ago.

Bash's dad kind of looks like a hot Daddy in that video.

R290 They haven't announced a date yet, still sometime in 2022

R291 Sebastian's dad is definitely a daddy:

Tiresome obsession with white gay guys

[Quote] Tiresome obsession with white gay guys

DL is mostly white and gay, dear.

R294 Who is preventing you to be obsessed with bisexual black guys. No one does. Be democratic and let me like white gay guys without your nagging.

Bash posted:

[quote]The last few weeks have been dreamy 💕

Are these boys examples of British inbreeding? They have such funny features... Seb comes off better relatively speaking.

You are an ignorant idiot. Sebastian has an English father and a Greek mother, how the hell can he be inbred?

R301 So that's why Seb is less funny looking... because of the Greek mother.

R303 Wonder what Joe thinks of Sebastian's big hands..

R304 He likes to hold them!

Sebastian visited his old prep school Dragon School in Oxford yesterday.

R307 Bash looks a bit like Justin Trudeau there with that fake-ish smile. lol

He has no fakeish smile, you fool. Justin is so plain compared to him.

I ve fallen in love with his eyes. And everything else.

Whoever keeps resurrecting this thread needs to be committed to a psych ward. If you're going to be pathologically obsessed with a guy, at least choose one who isn't so ugly.

R311 Bash is not ugly (his bf is).

R312 How is posting in an active thread 'resurrecting' it? Just unwatch it

Shit that should've been for R311

"We have to photograph a gay... Oh, I know! Let's photograph them with FLOWERS!"

R317 So that's why Connor was so eager to visit!

Connor wearing Bash's hoodie:

Happy 20th birthday Sebastian!

That's birthday book of best wishes from fans? These Gen Zs really know how to work social media.

This has to be the longest, dullest thread on DL . Why why are you recycling your Instagram/Tumblr content here?

R328 What posts are recycled? Most of the imgbb links here show content of Sebastian from that day or week on Instagram/Twitter etc. It's a thread about Sebastian.

Sebastian looks exactly like Lady Di.

So ugly they hurt my feelings.

R331 Please, these kids are MUCH better looking than now leather-faced Luke Evans has ever looked….

Cute rainbow trainers 🏳️‍🌈

So did so-and-so have him yet?

R330 Sebastian even has the same Warm & Wonderful black sheep sweater

R340 No. Maybe one day 🤞

Aww

They come across as such a sweet and wholesome couple. Did Sebastian have a boyfriend before Joe?

R324 Both kids were probably virgin when they met.

Joe was a minor when Bash and him started dating earlier this year and Bash was probably Joe’s first boyfriend.

Bash is three years older, very extroverted and comfortable in his sexuality - I doubt he went 19 years without experimenting with other guys.

Bash was singing about girls until fairly recently.

r345 Were they his own lyrics?

Bash as a gayling in his musical theatre days:

R347 Lyrics please! If Bash is bi DL will turn on him.

"We could be King and Queen."

R349 Which one will be the queen?

R349 Queens are not always female

Bash is always giving Joe piggyback rides- R2, R299

"I smell your perfume in the air."

That’s pretty vague though, has he used female pronouns or names in any songs?

He could’ve written those from personal experience but he seems to have written a lot of songs as fiction:

[quote]Lil something I’ve been messing around with. It’s crazy to me how two people smiling at each other could be the beginning of a whole romantic story, or just literally a smile with a stranger you’ll never see again. Anyway I wrote this song about it - enjoy :)

Bash, Joe and their friends are all sick with Covid over Christmas. Connor is back in Canada.

From Sebastian's birthday last week, they added a fourth twink.

We know. He's Rufus Sewell's son.

[Quote] is he gay, too?

He's a white supremacist, so probably.

R360 Well, it is a bit of diversity, since most of these kids are woke.

Horrible Histories: The Movie (starring Bash) was on BBC 1 over Christmas and his family were teasing him over it lol

Has Bash lost his anal virginity?

Why do dataloungers keep evcery day bumping up this thread with this hideous photo of these two freaks? One of them has ridiculous outsized jug-ears, and the other has a grotesque ski slope nose.

For Christ's sake, please stop bumping up this thread. I cannot stand that photo.

When you were young, people used to got to a surgeon precisely to get a ski slope nose.

Lies. The ski slope nose was the standard when you dreamed of MAME.

R369 One simple advice to your simple mind, skid the thread. It's easy

Connor, Billy, Bash and Joe:

Billy looks like he'd take to the casual cruelty of Dickie Greenleaf like a duck to water... Is Connor still in the UK or are these old pics?

R376 It's old, from Sebastian's birthday.

Joe went to London to be with Sebastian for New Year's:

R367 Maybe it was a double headed dildo….

It's like there were trying to create their own Timmy and these are the botches.

Connor posted a London throwback:

Will Connor ever leave boyish behind? That posture alone...

R381 "leave boyish behind"? What does this even mean lol

Embrace adulthood. Quit giving "broken model" pose.

^^^ He's such a sweetheart!

Bash and his brother today:

Why are they telling us to fuck off?

Heartstopper coming soon:

(Taken from Joe's family's photo album)

R390 Rude! Joe just looks very English..

Joe looks better in motion

They both have interesting faces, which is great for an actor.

I find both of them very attractive (especially Bash), but seeing them together it's hard not to be reminded of this Lucky Luke comic about two feuding families:

I fear we have the Aryan Brotherhood among us.

Wtf are you on about, r395? I'm Jewish. So was Rene Goscinny, who wrote that comic. Sebastian isn't, as far as we know. (And the characters in the comic are Irish-American).

You posted a cartoon lampooning ethnic features.

Whose ethnic features? The Irish?

Greeks then? Funnily enough I've been mistaken for a Greek by strangers - but I'm not aware of any tradition of dehumanizing caricatures of large-nosed Greeks, so I still don't get what your problem is.

Bash and Connor with their flirty banter:

sebastiancroft: ‘Child star fired after trying to cut his own bangs and breaking his contract’

connorwjessup: @sebastiancroft why did you copy and paste your bio into my comments?

sebastiancroft: @connorwjessup No no, my bio is just ‘Child Star’, the rest was added 😘

connorwjessup: @sebastiancroft really stretching the definition of ‘star’ to its limits there huh

sebastiancroft: @connorwjessup now ur quoting your bio surely?

R391 I think they both could be hot if they boosted their testosterone by working out.

How long until he comes out?

From his IG story today:

He has come out. He posted some text referencing "our community."

R403

He's probably just holding back so it can become part of the Heartstopper PR.

Sebastian (and Connor) liked:

Well, at least Gage has moved on from that Brit director story...

Sebastian last night. His "Bash" ring is funny to me, it's such a fuckboy thing to wear.

On their first date, "Bash" and Connor can get nose jobs.

R410 lol, I kinda want Bash to transition to become Lady Di‘s visual successor.

People should embrace their natural noses.

Sebastian is adorable. I love his accent.

Does Joe still live up 't'North?

R415 Yes. He's down in London with Sebastian now, though. They both posted about seeing the Moulin Rouge musical:

Connor posted some old negatives

Jessup is getting a little Mama Rose over these two.

Joe liked this tweet by Alice about Sebastian playing Ben in Heartstopper.

Interesting to see Joe with the unibrow obscured. Cute pic.

Sebastian and Joe with Alice last night.

Did she write the show as well?
