Connor Storrie has shared his family’s reaction to his hit steamy hockey show, Heated Rivalry.
The 25-year-old actor made a guest appearance on the Today show on Wednesday, where he discussed his family’s reaction to its explosive popularity.
“My mom is my Number One supporter,” began Connor. “My family’s crazy.”
“From a young age, when I was like, ‘I wanna be in movies’ and stuff, they were like, ‘Yeah, go do it!’ They’ve always believed in me, and I think it’s probably pretty surreal to watch things like this happen,” he added.
However, the actor revealed that his father has not watched the show yet, which features tons of nude scenes.
“My dad hasn’t seen it, and I’m not asking him to see it,” said Connor. “I don’t think he needs to see it if he doesn’t want to.”
“I think for him specifically, I mean you know with streaming and the way television and movies work now is so different then it did even when I was little. Even me sometimes I’m like ‘Oh this isn’t real because I don’t see it on commercials necessarily and I don’t see like billboards for it,” he explained.
“You know when I was little, we all had specific channels and it was like you only see the movie stars and all these things and now that streaming is a thing it’s not the same. We don’t take media the same way so it doesn’t always you know feel ‘real,'” concluded the Riley star.
Heated Rivalry is available to watch on HBO Max.
