[@magdieljmc]

They look so lovely together, and Rachel staring at Kit has me 🥰 I really wish I could see the play myself, but I bet they are doing a great job together.

[@jaelynn6087]

[@--------287]

Rachel is like a big sis for Kit😭

[@ashleelynasmr8072]

OBSESSED WITH THEM

[@MsCloudnumber9]

i need to see this show

[@TomLeatham]

Well done kit Connor from Australia 🇦🇺

[@BecciBex]

He looks so much like a young Matt LeBlanc in this interview

[@GP71_OO]

2:25 Kit is truly an amazing young man, some were born to be that way, to have that alpha energy, and is so amazing couse in this period of time, masculinity tends to be seen as more of a negative thing and he's a perfect example of what positive masculinity is

[@adolfopena7358]

Two GOATs

[@TheAlexgallardo2000]

They got my girls working omg

[@thinishyawaduge1365]

I just love how Rachel bounced back from all the hatred. Everyone hopping on the ' I hate this woman , i hate that woman ' trend soon as they see criticism aimed at anyone and magnifying it out of proportion is really getting old.

[@jasminedobbins3353]

@@thinishyawaduge1365 people were definitely reaching trying to hate her. She literally is the embodiment of sunshine. The way she carries herself with such elegance and grace….like she truly seems like the most genuinely kind human being

[@ahmedhathoutt]

Gosh rachel is soooo adorable

[@kathleenweinberg5991]

Very talented celebrities

[@ashleelynasmr8072]

HEARTSTOPPER MENTION 🥹🫶🏻🍂

THE SWEETEST HUMANS EVER 🥹❤️

[@stephaniethomas2223]

WHY IS HODA LEAVING PUT HISPANIC IN HER PLACE

[@selamatdatangbujank9305]

Bruhh

[@anupamakushwaha5503]

Don't zegler think romeo juliet is outdated ? 😅 like it's not 1600s any more. She is not gonna die for a man. 😂😂

[@chibi_rabbit]

They're still hiring her after the disaster of Snow White? Lololol

[@mananimal3644]

chilbi_rabbit, Jealousy is not a good look for you.😒

[@Fandomonium456]

Yes?? She’s crazy talented and has a huge fan base

[@thinishyawaduge1365]

Aw . Pity . You must be a very sad human

[@APNI348]

After the disaster of Snow White? The film hasn't even been released yet. It has the potential to be incredible, unless you are the sort of person to hate something based on the colour of an actor's skin.

[@charlotted1321]

Film isn't even out yet lol
