Kit Connor just named the actor he wants to work with most, and we can’t wait to see his dream become a reality.

Connor was named one of the 10 hottest young stars in Hollywood by The Hollywood Reporter, alongside actors like Katy O’Brian and Sophie Wilde. The honor came with a quick Q&A, including asking Connor to name the person he’s dying to work with.

“I would love to work with Josh O’Connor,” Connor said — and it’s not just because they have almost the same last name. “He and I are friendly, and every time I see him I think how I would love to see him at work.”

Fans noted that it’s far from the first time Connor has shouted out O’Connor, having previously dropped his name in response to questions like, “Who’s the hottest person on earth right now?” and, “Who would be your dream to collaborate with on stage?”

Connor also named the TV show he’s most obsessed with — The Sopranos — and the album he has on repeat — The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie.

What’s next for Connor? After completing his run of Romeo + Juliet on Broadway, he’ll be promoting his role in the A24 thriller Warfare. Then, Connor says he’d “like to take a little break.” 

“Then I’d like to do something completely different,” he added. “I want to try and spend the next couple years just doing quite hard stuff so that I can try and force myself to get better.”
