FAQS
Are Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard still friends?
Yes! Although the Stranger Things series is coming to a conclusion, they are still having fun together. Almost the entire cast has indeed lived their childhood on the set for nearly ten years, and thus their friendship can already be compared to that between siblings.
In their latest interviews, Finn mentioned that despite Millie having a busy schedule with her new roles of wife and mother, they still manage to meet pretty often.
Who was Finn Wolfhard’s first kiss?
It was Millie Bobby Brown that Finn had his first-ever kiss. It was a moment of shooting the Season 1 finale of Stranger Things. He was about 12 or 13 years old.

What condition does Finn Wolfhard have?
Finn has usually kept very quiet about his anxiety and panic attacks, but he has now revealed the problem. When he was around 15 or 16 years old, due to the sudden fame and its accompanying pressure, he started to have panic attacks more frequently and more severely.

How did Finn Wolfhard start acting?
Finn’s coming into Hollywood was very much an odd beginning, to say the least. Though he was very much interested in directing rather than acting, the little boy wouldn’t give up. He found an ad on Craigslist for a music video and answered it when he was probably 11 years old. That first gig opened the door for him to get small roles in The 100 and Supernatural before finally making it big with Stranger Things.
