‘[His connections do help him] a lot. I’m not about to say that’s not the case. I’m very grateful. I just hope I can bring to the table what is expected.’
In spite of his family connections, Hero admitted entering into the acting industry ‘didn’t really cross my mind’.
He added: ‘It’s definitely more of a gradual love for it that formed, rather than I suddenly woke up one day and thought, “This is what I want to do”.’
Hero has won a legion of fans thanks to his role of college badboy Hardin Scott in the Netflix flick, alongside Josephine Langford, who plays his love-interest Tessa Young.
In the film, the pair enter into a steamy toxic relationship, which sees Tessa question what she wants out of life.

He said: ‘We definitely express our creativity as a family. Though actually I don’t talk to them too much about acting, because they’re quite busy and spread out.
‘When I do see them, what’s more interesting is speaking about family, their kids, my little cousins who I have’t seen in ages.
