Behind the Scenes with the Stranger Things Stars
As fans in India and around the world prepare for the massive conclusion, let's pull back the curtain on the talented ensemble that brings the chaotic world of Hawkins to life. Here are some incredible and lesser-known facts about the cast members.
Noah Schnapp (Will Byers)
Noah Schnapp, who portrays Will Byers, has a unique bond with his twin sister, Chloe. He was born just four minutes before her. Before his iconic role, he was the voice behind Charlie Brown in The Peanuts Movie in 2015. In a fun twist of fate, he had even forgotten the details of the initial casting call for the show, which was then titled 'Montauk'.
Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven)
Millie Bobby Brown, the actress behind the powerful Eleven, has navigated a significant personal challenge. She has progressively lost all hearing in one ear. Despite this, her star power is undeniable. She became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador at the age of 14 and has also authored a novel titled Nineteen Steps.
Amybeth McNulty (Vickie)
Irish-Canadian actress Amybeth McNulty, who plays Vickie, is a passionate animal welfare advocate. Her principles are so strong that she once turned down a role in Game of Thrones because it required wearing real fur, which conflicted with her vegetarian lifestyle. Off-screen, she enjoys playing the ukulele.
Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers)
The celebrated veteran Winona Ryder, who embodies Joyce Byers, boasts an impressive career with two Oscar nominations for her work in 1990s period dramas. She even received a Grammy nomination for her book narration work. Despite her many accolades, she has a personal fear to conquer: aquaphobia, an intense fear of water.
Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield)
Sadie Sink, the star who plays the resilient Max Mayfield, had her life changed by a co-star. After working with Woody Harrelson, she adopted a vegan diet. Her talent caught the eye of pop superstar Taylor Swift, who personally selected her to star in the acclaimed All Too Well short film. Sadie's career began on the musical theatre stage.
Jamie Campbell Bower (Vecna)
Jamie Campbell Bower, the man who terrifies audiences as Vecna, is no stranger to major fantasy franchises. He previously appeared as a young dark wizard in the Harry Potter series and a vampire in The Twilight Saga. To prepare for his chilling role in Stranger Things, he went to extreme lengths, creating a detailed map to understand the villain's twisted psychology.
With the final chapters of Stranger Things now unfolding, these fascinating insights into the cast make the journey to the end all the more engaging for its massive Indian fanbase.
