I was honestly very stressed about it at first because when Mindy had asked me if they could include my heritage, I was down but I was also like, I really hope I don’t piss people off because I know looking at me, that’s not the first thing you see. Have you been surprised that people have resonated with this so much? Much has been made about including your own mixed heritage in “Never Have I Ever.” Mindy and all of them, I’m sure they saw people better looking than me, in better shape than me, all that, but they took us all aside, saying, “We chose you for this role because of you and what you bring as a person.” That was an honor to know because they wanted Paxton to be more than just abs. It got to the point where I got so close and so close and so close and just kept being denied denied denied, I was like, “I guess I’m just not hitting the mark on this one.” It has been the number one thing I’ve seen on breakdowns for auditions since I started this career. Story continues But you’ve been up for heartthrob roles in the past? I’m honored that they feel I accomplished that. So, that’s been some pressure, but I’m blown away because a lot of people are saying, “You went past being a heartthrob, and you did things with the character that I think only you could do.” And that was making him human, making him likable. I did not expect my character to be such a focal point. You’ve pretty much cemented your status as a “teen heartthrob.” How does that feel? I wouldn’t say I’m in as great of shape as I was on-camera but, thankfully, if I have to get ready for something, it’s a pretty quick process for me to get it back. I’m trying to work out and be ready at any point to take my shirt off ‘cause people keep asking me that. It’s nice to just have some things to do every day and get me up. Doing publicity is one of the only things keeping me with a schedule. I try to stick to a routine as much as possible but certain days, sleeping in until 1 in the afternoon. So, it’s been quite the inner journey, having me, myself and I. I’m in L.A., day fifty-something of being totally alone. Where are you self-isolating right now and how is that going? The 29-year-old tells Variety why he was initially nervous about incorporating his multiethnic background, how his high school experience had little in common with Paxton’s and why he is also Team Devi.
