Character

Connor

Connor in Chewing Gum (2015), played by Robert Lonsdale.

Connor is the nice, slightly odd young man who becomes Tracey's boyfriend as she tries to figure out sex and life outside her strict religious upbringing on a rough London estate. He's sweet, a bit sheltered himself, and utterly unprepared for how chaotic Tracey's world is about to get.

Robert Lonsdale plays him with a gentle, guileless energy that makes him the calm center of a show built on chaos. He's funny precisely because he isn't trying to be — his earnestness collides with Tracey's frantic scheming, and the mismatch generates some of the show's warmest, most awkward comedy.
