Tao has less hair, but more vulnerability this season on Heartstopper
season 2, as he tosses his imaginary locks back in midair — though he’s worn a wig to achieve that look this season. Yes, we said goodbye to Tao’s season 1 hair and cut deeper into his world.
Gao had this exciting thought in the back of his mind during season 1 that if the show came back for another go, they would be able to further explore Tao and Elle’s budding romance. It came to fruition, of course, with writer Alice Oseman’s “heartstopping script,” that sees a “more rounded and more vulnerable” Tao.
“He’s got all of his barriers up. He’s like this kind of frantic dog that’s defensive. And he’s all over the place. But in season 2, you kind of see why that is,” Gao says. “I think it speaks about loss and grief. It’s hinted at during the show about how grief has affected him in his family life, and how it’s influenced his actions. And him realizing that and his awareness of that is a beautiful thing.
At one point in our interview, Gao almost chokes on a piece of New Zealand gingerbread-flavored chocolate. “It’s really coated my throat,” he says. He’s offered water, but continues without it, unfazed. Gao’s co-star, who plays Charlie, weighs in later via Zoom: “Will is my favorite person in the world because he's very much a hypochondriac, in the best way,” Locke says. “He thinks he's going to die with everything and anything, so do not worry.
