Hockey romance Heated Rivalry has been renewed for Season 2. The Onion sat down with breakout stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams to discuss the hit series.
The Onion: How did you prepare for your roles?
Storrie: I worked with a kissing coach eight hours a day for weeks to make it look believable.
Williams: I went on PornHub and searched “gay.”
The Onion: Did you work with an intimacy coordinator?
Williams: No. We just did all the sex scenes while both of our parents watched over FaceTime and gave us thumbs-up or thumbs-down.
The Onion: What did filming Heated Rivalry teach you about hockey?
Williams: The players don’t really interact with the mascots. The mascots are basically only there for the fans.
The Onion: What’s it like to become an overnight success?
Storrie: I no longer eat DoorDash customers’ food before delivering it.
Williams: It’s scary, Google has images of me.
The Onion: How close is your character to your real life?
Storrie: I’m scared of ice.
Williams: I once kissed my mailman on the cheek.
The Onion: What’s something that might surprise fans about Season 2?
Storrie: The show is revealed to be set in the same universe as Lincoln.
The Onion: Has there been any backlash?
Storrie: Sure, not everyone is ready to see hockey players on screen.
Williams: But we hope this show is helping to shift the narrative. They deserve love just like anyone else.
