HEARTSTOPPER star Joe Locke sent pulses racing for an entirely different reason this week, trading the gentle halls of Truham Grammar for the treacherous cliffs of the Welsh coast.
The rising young actor, known for his heartfelt role as Charlie Spring, was spotted filming a breathtaking stunt for the BBC's upcoming thriller, 'Wolf'. Eyewitnesses watched in awe as Locke braved the elements to leap from a rocky outcrop into the churning waters of Black Church Bay in Pembrokeshire.
Dressed in character for the intense scene, the 19-year-old appeared focused and determined as production crews meticulously set up the dangerous shot. The dramatic location, known for its rugged beauty and powerful waves, provided a stark contrast to the cozy world of Netflix's hit teen drama.
This marks a significant and gritty departure for Locke, showcasing his range as he takes on a more mature role in the adaptation of Mo Hayder's acclaimed novel. The series also stars a host of renowned actors, including Ukweli Roach and Iwan Rheon.
Fans on social media have been buzzing with excitement and concern, praising the actor's dedication while expressing relief that professional safety crews were on hand. This daring feat is sure to be a talking point when 'Wolf' finally hits our screens, proving Locke is far more than just a teen idol.
