Does Kedar Williams-Stirling wear contacts?

Yes, Kedar Williams-Striling wore contact lenses during the filming of Sex Education.

Just as actors like Asa Butterfield, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, and Aimee Lou Wood found fame after the success of Netflix’s Sex Education, English actor Kedar Williams-Stirling found his breakthrough by starring as Jackson Theodore Marchetti in the same British teen sex comedy drama TV series.

Sex Education first began streaming on Netflix on January 11, 2019. After the great response to the first season, the makers then released the second season in January 2020, and the third season in September 2021. The fans of the show were left heartbroken after the makers of the show decided that the fourth season of Sex Education would be the final season. The fourth season was released on 21 September 2023.

What is Kedar Williams-Stirling’s natural eye color?

Kedar Williams Stirling's natural eye color is dark brown to almost black. Whereas in Sex Education, Stirling’s character Jackson Theodore Marchetti was shown as having light hazel brown eyes. While the character was absolutely loved in the series and was considered to be one of the swoon-worthy characters with much depth to the character’s story, what always caught the fans’ attention was Marchetti’s dreamy eyes.

However, many fans were a bit surprised to know that hazel brown was not the natural eye color of the actor. During an Interview VODzilla.co, Kedar William-Stirling along with other Sex Education stars was asked, “The show has this unique British/US, not-quite-1980s vibe. Did you have any input into that, through dialogue or costumes? Kedar, you’ve got this very American sports jacket…”

Answering this, Stirling said, “That was all Rosie [Stoward], the costume designer. The way that I wore it was my style, but in terms of the colours and everything… you know what? The chinos were their idea too. There were going to be these Reeboks that I wore… We didn’t initially have any idea it was going to look like it did until we walked in and saw the costumes ourselves. The only indication of it being quite 80s and stuff was the music, and that was written in the script, but I didn’t get anything personally prior to the fittings.”

Stirling then spoke about the contact lens and revealed that those helped him to not be himself during the shoot. The actor said, “For Jackson, like, wearing the contacts and everything like that helped me massively to not be me.”
