Everything we learned from Connor Storrie’s decidedly tame late-night show appearance

Last week, we tracked the biggest and spiciest reveals from Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams’s appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, which included groin stretches and plenty of cock sock talk. Since then, the world’s favourite rink-crossed lovers have presented at the Golden Globes, where their whole schtick was based on—you know. By comparison, Connor Storrie’s debut on Late Night With Seth Meyers was pretty SFW. Below, the best revelations.

Learning hockey was harder than learning Russian

Neither was a walk in the park, but it was the journey from non-skater to NHL-level superstar that Storrie described as the biggest challenge: “Everyone always wants to talk about the Russian—but the jockness of it all…” Storrie explained that he got about two weeks of skating training before being expected to play Ilya Rozanov, a global hockey sensation, whereas his Russian lessons were more intensive.

He basically came to Late Night straight from the Chateau Marmont

If you’ve been following Storrie on social media, you know that his Golden Globe experience involved a hang with Parker Posey. Turns out it was a super brief one. “I went to the Chateau Marmont for about 30 minutes, said hello to Parker Posey and got on a plane,” he told Meyers of his post-awards revelry.

He had another restaurant gig lined up in case Heated Rivalry didn’t hit

Being a working actor means giving everything you’ve got to an artistic project and then returning to your minimum-wage job. “I was working in restaurants right up until I booked Heated Rivalry,” Storrie said, explaining that he was planning to book his next waiter gig when his show became the most popular thing on the planet.

His dad made him watch The Shining when he was seven

One of the pros of having a divorced dad, Storrie said, is that he got to watch films that were deeply age inappropriate. He told Meyers that he managed to watch Blades of Glory far too early thanks to his permissive father, who also insisted that he watch The Shining at age seven so that he would understand cultural references to the film.

There was a joke about a sex swing

And while that may seem spicy, it was actually part of a weird bit that didn’t really land. (Judge for yourself.) The Cut posited that this was an attempt to reference the show’s racy sex scenes in a way that would fly on broadcast TV. But that doesn’t really track given Hudson Williams’s aforementioned sexy references on The Tonight Show. So maybe it’s more that Meyers is a prude and Fallon is a freak. Or maybe Storrie is just sick of talking about the obvious. Or maybe the poor guy was just a little hungover.
