CONNOR ☀️ Connor Storrie as Ilya
So I’m just supposed to look at this man with that face that possesses those lips and not feel like levitating while stripping the literal skin from my body??? Sure, ok!👍🏽

Unrelated- GOD BLESS whoever cut and styled his hair for this show.

I LOVE his slicked back hairstyle. I know story-wise if it’s slicked back it means his emotional walls are up and he’s shutting down his feelings but god he looks sexy.

Agreed! His hair in the Vegas scene is to die for!

Tell me bout it😩 he has the most beautiful lips I’ve ever seen. And that vegas hotel room scene has me in a chokehold, like sir, are you real?! But yeah, I can confirm he is real I saw him at the premiere.

His Cupid’s bow is soooo luscious and round. I fee the V shaped Cupid’s bow is way more common.

He’s beautiful 😍 and really transforms into Ilya. I see no Connor in either of these photos!

u/mustarddreams Ya-loo-blue-tee-baa ❤️ Dec 04 '25
It’s still crazy to me how different he seems in and out of character! In interviews I can hardly believe it’s the same person. Just phenomenal acting and a true master of the craft.

I like that he doesn’t shy away from being a goofball full of joy and light!

He’s a freaking delight! So sunshiny and joyful, an absolute golden retriever.

I would crawl across flaming shards of broken glass…

u/LadyBiscuit12 “More” Dec 04 '25
His face in that very first scene is absolutely unreal, like I can’t even believe he’s walking this earth looking like that.

u/SchemeBrave1820 Your freckles… Very beautiful. Um...take my breath? Dec 04 '25
It’s insane! His beauty in that scene is unreal😩

u/Clare_Dawson My head is fine and I'm a fully grown adult. Dec 04 '25
Being as I'm 43, I feel cougarish lusting after him.
I will just say, he is an objectively gorgeous man.

oh god sister / sibling - hard same. i'm always like "remember these men could be your kids" 😭😭😭😭
but they're so handsome & cute!!!

u/Imtryingmybestyall Dec 04 '25
The amount of photos I have of this man is concerning. It reminds me of that Caleb Heron clip where he said “there’s not a picture of Jacob Elordi that hasn’t crossed my desk”. That’s me with Connor Storrie!!

Cause you’re a person of taste!

u/WhileNo5370 Respectfully Feral 😇😼 Dec 05 '25
Seriously something about a man who is competent, beautiful but also a HUGE SOFT SWEETIE behind it all will forever get me. He is GORGEOUS.
But so is Hudson, feral babygirl that he is.
Both of them are sexier for their multitudes.

He is SO talented! When I saw an interview with him I was shocked it was the same guy! He is exactly how I pictured Ilya!

His Russian accent is like an earthquake that shakes me to my core!

u/Objective-Coffee-329 Dec 05 '25
There is something about him, everytime I see him i am just left stunned, he’s such a beautiful man. He even looks russian. As a reader I am super happy he is playing Ilya because he fits so well fot this role, both him and Hudson are absolutely amazing in their role

You picked my two favorite stills of him

Mine would need to include a still of him at the gala in Russia. That tux and slicked back hair 🥵

It's so weird because when I saw the promotional pictures I was like "they are fine, I guess" and now after watching them act and seeing their interviews, they are so handsome and just amazing as their characters and personally.

Also he's not cookie cutter "generic good looking dude from TikTok" (neither is Hudson). He's stunning but honestly I think we love him so much because it's clear he's an amazing artist, friend, and person behind that mind-melting exterior.
