Yasmin Finney has arrived – and our screens aren’t likely to be the same again. In the December 2022 issue of British Vogue, Amel Mukhtar meets the teen queen of 'Heartstopper' as she verges on superstardom.
A dream for any young actor, not least one with a single screen credit, the role will turn the teen into a household name – and is set to reshape the TV landscape in the process. I mean, how many young trans actors can you name in long-running prime-time BBC dramas, not to mention a series as quintessentially middle England as? “It will change the world,” she says knowingly, eyes sparkling over high cheekbones.
“There are spies. If I talk about the Whoniverse, it’s over,” she deadpans. “All I can say is, I feel so honoured to be seen by Russell… I remember growing up idolising it.” In this “very inclusive” iteration, “I’m happy to be the representation on a show that means a lot to so many.” Finney has always felt a call to represent. It was on TikTok – where she currently has 1.8 million followers and counting – that she found her first audience creating videos about the trans experience, the most viral on a crush’s reaction on learning. – in which house mother Elektra snaps back at a transphobe without taking a breath – caught the eye of actor Billy Porter’s team, who asked her to send a self-tape for the lead role in his directorial debut.
