Stranger Things actors Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard and Gaten Matarazzo vividly remember the moment when the show turned their lives &ldquo;upside down&rdquo; by making them overnight stars.
Stranger Things, created by Matt and Ross Duffer, is set in the 1980s and takes a look at the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, where a secret government lab accidentally opens a door to a parallel dimension referred to as the &lsquo;upside down&rsquo;.&nbsp;
A group of friends try to make sense of the strange &nbsp;disappearances and the evil things haunting their town while also struggling to hide a new and mysterious friend. The fourth season of the show is currently streaming on Netflix.
Brown, who became a global star courtesy her role of Eleven, a girl with psychokinetic and telepathic abilities, still remembers waking up to see her &ldquo;tennis ball-shaped&rdquo; face everywhere after the first season. &ldquo;I think the moment I knew the show had taken off was when I woke up from a nap in my car and looked at my phone and my tennis ball-shaped face was everywhere. I was like, &lsquo;Oh, this is really it&rsquo;. I remember thinking to myself, &lsquo;This is legit, people love this&rsquo;,&rdquo; Brown told in an interview during a virtual set visit of the show.
But the most surreal moment for her was during the premiere of season two when people were chanting her and co-star Wolfhard&rsquo;s name. &ldquo;I was like &lsquo;this moment will last forever&rsquo;. The show has immortalised itself. I feel it&rsquo;s gonna last forever. I am so grateful that I got to be a part of that. I do remember that season two premiere was surreal for me,&rdquo; she added. The 18-year-old actor, who was just 12 when she starred on the first season of the show in 2016, has since gone on to play major roles in Hollywood films Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), its sequel and Netflix period mystery drama Enola Holmes (2020) that she also produced.
Wolfhard, 19, had a similar trajectory and has featured in horror film It (2017) and its sequel, The Goldfinch and Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021). He described the experience of working on the show like being part of a camp . &ldquo;We kind of grew up with the characters because we come back every year. It&rsquo;s an interesting thing and something like a camp. Like the way I&rsquo;m coming back every year and seeing the same people and seeing what everyone has been up to in real life and on the show,&rdquo; Wolfhard said.
The actor said the show&rsquo;s success has &ldquo;changed and impacted our lives completely and for the better.&rdquo; &ldquo;Millie and I are just happy to be back every season,&rdquo; he added. The actor hopes Stranger Things, which is currently in its fourth chapter, would &ldquo;go on for more seasons&rdquo;. The fourth season is already streaming on Netflix, the second half of the series will arrive on July 1. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
