‘[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.

In an interview with The Gentleman’s Journal in the same year, the actor expanded on his famous connections.

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.

‘We’d rather use up that time with family chat than work. But they’re always very supportive and check in and tell me they’re proud, which means a lot.’ 

When asked if he’s capitalised on his famous name, Hero replied: ‘Well it gets me to the table and then when I’m there I have big shoes to fill. 

‘But, really nothing but good comes from it. I’m very lucky to be in that position.’ 

His uncle Ralph was recently nominated for an Oscar in the Leading Actor category for his movie Conclave.
