Now, if you haven’t watched Stranger Things yet, what on earth have you been doing? Because you’ll fall in love with the characters and the actors who play them, too. Especially when you see Joe Keery, who plays Steve, the babysitter of the group, sticking up for his younger co-star Finn Wolfhard during the San Diego Comic-Con.
Now, the youngsters of the Stranger Things series on Netflix shot to stardom at a very young age.
Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven, was just twelve, Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin, and Caleb McLaughlin, who plays Lucas were fourteen, and Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike, was thirteen.
There’s been a lot of controversy surrounding how the actors are treated, including Millie Bobby Brown, who has in the past vented her frustration with being sexualized. But, this time, when Finn Wolfhard’s name was sexualized, Joe Keery, who was twenty-four when he first appeared in the series, defended him.
And for that, Caleb McLaughlin praised the incredible move…
In a video that has gone viral on TikTok, Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike, was welcomed to the panel and was announced as: “Finn Wolfhard ladies and gentleman. Yeah, Finn Wolfhard, an actor born with the greatest p*rn name ever.”
Patton Oswalt was commentating the event, and when Finn, who was fourteen at the time, said “dude, stop,” Joe was seen giving heartwarming words of reassurance.
“Don’t do that, don’t do that, ignore him,” Joe was seen saying to Finn.
David Harbour, who plays Hopper, then said “it’s ok, ignore him,” too.
And as the camera focused back on Joe, he could be seen glaring at Oswalt.
Caleb McLaughlin commented on the viral video saying: “Joe’s really Mom bro. Truly an inspiration.”
Many people also commented on the matter underneath the video.
One person wrote: “That’s actually so sad like he was a kid.”
Another wrote: “So Joe is a mom outside of the character as well.”
