When Netflix dropped the Heartstopper trailer<\/a> earlier this month, the internet erupted into excited chatter about the upcoming LGBTQ+ teen drama \u2013 but it appears many fans missed one major celebrity cameo.<\/p>\n It is revealed early in the teaser that legendary comedian Stephen Fry has a role in the much-anticipated series, as he can be heard making an announcement as the headmaster of Truham Grammar School for Boys.<\/p>\n The fictional school is where Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) and Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) first meet each other, before embarking on a whirlwind romance together.<\/p>\n In an interview with RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press, Locke revealed that he used to fall asleep listening to Harry Potter audio books, narrated by Fry, and so his voice is always instantly familiar to him.<\/p>\n However, he was surprised to see that so few people picked up on the BAFTA nominee\u2019s moment in the trailer when it was first released, with social media conversation dominated by other aspects of the show.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cThe trailer came out yesterday and I\u2019ve not seen anything on Twitter \u2013 like his voice is right at the start and no one\u2019s picked up on it. How can you not? I recognise that voice like that<\/em>.\u201d<\/p> Quizzed on how Fry was approached for the gig, Locke said: \u201cThey wanted a really legendary gay actor to be the headmaster\u2019s voice and they were trying to figure out people and they asked Stephen Fry, and he was like, \u2018Yeah, of course, I\u2019ll do it\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n As the headmaster is a voice role only, Fry was never actually present on the Heartstopper<\/a> set, instead recording his audio remotely while spending time out in Los Angeles (according to co-star William Gao).<\/p>\n The Heartstopper cast<\/a> finally crossed paths with Fry in-person at the Attitude Awards earlier this month and all expressed their enthusiasm at the prospect of a scene with him in a potential second season (not yet confirmed by Netflix<\/a>).<\/p>\n Rewatch the Heartstopper trailer below and keep an ear out for Fry in the first five seconds.<\/p>\n
