HUGE Netflix drama star joins Hinge with shirtless pics as he looks for first boyfriend online

HEARTSTOPPER star Joe Locke has joined dating app Hinge in his quest to find love.

Actor Joe, 19, may have swarms of fans thanks to his lead role as Charlie Spring in the LGBT Netflix series - but he's never publicly had a boyfriend.

The Manx star, who is openly gay, looks set to impress suitors with some very dapper-looking snaps and a shirtless selfie.

In screenshots exclusively shared with The Sun, he reveals his hatred of wasps and metal tape measures while making a joke about not being able to do the splits with his fingers.

Joe also admits he's a sucker for spoiling movie plots by doing some detective work online.

He gives potential admirers an insight into his childhood with a Disneyland throwback while listing his height at 5' 10" and location as Soho, London.

Aside from photos of himself, the self-proclaimed atheist shared a road sign reading, "Shackled by LUST? JESUS Sets Free," along with the caption, "Dating me will look like..."

Joe might be a world famous actor but he's certainly remained modest, having listed his occupation as simply 'film' and his political views as liberal.

While he likes to drink, he's not a smoker and included this in his verified profile too.

Heartstopper gained a legion of fans last year and Netflix has confirmed its second series will be released in August.

Joe's character Charlie is a high school student who falls in love with his best friend, rugby player Nick Nelson, played by Kit Connor.

The show is one of the streamer's highest-rated and earned a rare 100% score via  while the Heartstopper hashtag has over 4.3billion views on TikTok.

The Sun has contacted Joe's representatives for comment.
