Connor Storrie opted for a Saint Laurent tuxedo in black and white, wearing a black tux with a white button-down and black silk tie. He accessorized with Tiffany & Co. jewels and donned black sunglasses, his curly hair styled in a more relaxed retro style.
Viral Interviews and Photo Shoots
Williams and Storrie have been at the forefront of online buzz since Heated Rivalry’s premiere on HBO Max. The show is based on Rachel Reid’s novel series, and its success has seen both actors become internet sensations. They’ve participated in viral interviews where they’ve shared intimate details about their roles and even demonstrated some of the more physical scenes from the show.
Their candidness and charm have endeared them to fans across multiple platforms.
In an interview on E! Williams gushed over his Armani look, feeling great in it despite the grand scale of the event. He also joked that he’s not overwhelmed by how much attention they’ve received but admits he gets inundated with emails now. Storrie, meanwhile, shared a personal story about making a conscious decision to leave up some of his cringeworthy childhood YouTube videos on social media as his star continues to rise.
A Decision to Accept
Storrie spoke candidly about the process of accepting his earlier self. “It’s weird to see them going viral,” he said, “but actually, it was a choice to leave them up. I didn’t have access to them; a fan reached out and helped get them down. But honestly, it felt like the end of a sort of self-acceptance ritual.”
He added, “I think when you’re like 12 years old, you kind of look at that and go, ‘Oh, cringe, I don’t want to see it,’ but I don’t know.
It felt cool to be like, ‘Yep, that was me, and this is me now.’ And it feels cool to accept that.” His openness and authenticity have resonated with fans, contributing significantly to the show’s success.
The 83rd annual Golden Globes took place at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 11, 2026. The event was broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+, providing viewers with a front-row seat to the star-studded evening.

Their debut at the Golden Globes marked not just a milestone in their careers but also highlighted the power of streaming content in today’s entertainment landscape. As they continue to dominate screens and red carpets alike, Williams and Storrie are poised to become household names in both television and film industries.
