Heartstopper star Joe Locke has been spotted donning an iconic “Straight 4 Pay” baseball cap while at a Sabrina Carpenter show with his friend, transgender actress Dylan Mulvaney.
The navy cap, which simply reads “Straight 4 Pay $”, was reportedly gifted to the Agatha All Along actor by a fan at a recent comic con event.
Locke was also spotted holding the cap in a photo taken at Pride in London on Saturday (5 July), in which he posed with Paper Doll author Dylan Mulvaney and RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Trixie Mattell.

The actor, who is gay, wore the brilliantly witty cap while watching Sabrina Carpenter perform at BST Hyde Park yesterday (6 July), with Mulvaney by his side once again.
Mulvaney and Locke have been close friends for some time, attending Glastonbury together last month, and recently joking about “hard launching” their relationship on social media.
Earlier this month, the pair shared a joint instagram post in which they joked about celebrating their “first couples shoot”.
The pair posed together in the sunny shoot, Locke in a plain white t-shirt and black denim shorts, and Mulvaney donning a sheer white dress.
“Hard launch,” Locke teasingly wrote in the comments, with fans celebrating them as an “iconic duo”.
In an Instagram Stories post ahead of Carpenter’s show, Mulvaney referred to Locke as “my gay”.
Joe Locke appeared on the debut episode of Mulvaney’s podcast The Dylan Hour with Dylan Mulvaney earlier this year, and shared his career hope to one day play a “really macho straight man” – hence the “Straight 4 Pay” cap.

“I want to play a really macho straight man in an action film,” he said.
“My dream would be to get paid a sh*t tonne of money to get really ripped. I can’t be bothered to organise it.”
In Locke’s two major TV roles – Charlie Spring in Heartstopper and Wiccan in Agatha All Along – the 21-year-old plays a gay teenager.
Elsewhere at Carpenter’s two-night residency at BST Hyde Park, The Bear actress and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Clairo performed Charli XCX’s “Apple” dance, in a moment which has since gone viral on social media.
