Finn Wolfhard, the charismatic star of "Stranger Things," has recently opened up about his personal life in a rare interview with Variety, ahead of the Netflix series' highly anticipated fifth and final season premiere on August 5. When asked about his romantic status, Wolfhard candidly admitted, "I'm single." He further elaborated, "At this point in my life, where I'm putting in the most effort into my work, I find myself contemplating this aspect. It's a time of intense dedication."
However, with his portrayal of the beloved protagonist Mike Wheeler in the supernatural thriller soon coming to a close, Wolfhard is contemplating taking his dating life more seriously. Reflecting on his past decisions, he pondered, "Perhaps it was subconsciously deliberate—not to have a committed partner. Being 22, I didn't want to prioritize it, especially considering my relentless travel schedule and demanding work commitments. It just didn't feel like the right time."
As Wolfhard gears up for a hectic few months promoting the November 26 premiere of "Stranger Things," he hinted at the exhilarating final scene that left the entire cast in a state of pure joy. Sharing a glimpse into his last day on set without revealing any spoilers, he enthused, "There was an electrifying moment that brought genuine happiness to everyone. Stepping away from that scene was one of the most profound moments of my life. It was so overwhelming that I couldn't fully process it at the time. The celebration that followed, with champagne flowing freely, was unforgettable."
Echoing the profound sentiments echoed by Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, his co-star who brought the character of Will Byers to vibrant life, recently reminisced about the poignant final day on set in an interview with E! News. The 20-year-old actor unveiled, "While the very first day on set seemed but a mundane chapter in an unremarkable routine, the final day transformed into a tempest of wild, overwhelming emotions. It was a day indelibly carved into my heart, akin to a tapestry intricately woven with delicate threads of heart-wrenching sorrow intertwined with an enthralling allure that knew no bounds."
When asked who among the talented ensemble—which also boasts Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder, and David Harbour—shed the most tears during their poignant farewells, Schnapp joked, "Probably me. I'm such a softie. But let's be honest, everyone was crying. We have a bond that transcends words, so saying goodbye was incredibly difficult."
