"Remember my little Heartstopper mini-comic about Charlie getting a crush on a celebrity historian? Well we are bringing Mr Maddox to the big screen! And he's being played by none other than JONATHAN BAILEY (@jbayleaf)!!!!!
In the writer's room for season 3 of @heartstopper, we simply could not resist the sweetness of Charlie and Nick meeting a celeb crush. And this casting is so perfect that it's like he stepped right off the page. Jonathan Bailey!!!!! My life goals have officially been smashed out of the park!!!! Could not have picked a better person to play the first of my characters to appear on-screen!! I got to visit set to watch him bring Mr Maddox to life, and you're in for a treat. (We've changed his name to Jack, for dog-related reasons - Henry the pug got there first!) You can read the comic about Mr Maddox here: https://tapas.io/episode/2391361 "
Added this to the season 3 sources doc.
