It’s notoriously tough out there for child stars in Hollywood, especially those that skyrocket to fame overnight after being a part of something iconic like Stranger Things. Millie Bobby Brown has been open about the effect the media has had on her life, and Finn Wolfhard is now revealing that it’s affected him as well.
Finn, who you might also recognize from ‘The Goldfinch’ and the ‘IT’ franchise, is now 17 years old.
However, when Stranger Things first began, Finn was only 13 years old, so when the show became a sensation overnight, he had to learn how to deal with fame and all the things that come with it quickly.

In a new interview with Mastermind Magazine, Finn discussed an incredibly scary experience he had when the show first came out.
“When I was 13, some adults followed me back to my condo when I was shooting It ,” Finn revealed . ” Stranger Things had just come out, and I was by myself.”
“As I walked faster, they walked faster.”
“I was getting a bit antsy by the time I got to the door,” Finn continued. “Suddenly, they were like, ‘Hey dude, can we get a selfie?'”
“And I was like, ‘No, you can’t have a selfie!'”
“How about don’t follow children?” the actor exclaimed.
I think it’s pretty solid advice to not follow any celebrity you’re a fan of to their homes, but especially those who are still just children!
