See how the actors of “Stranger Things” grew up and became fashion icons

Stranger Things is a TV series that conquered audiences from the very first episode. References to the 80s, horror, suspense and teen dramas drove the audience wild. But there’s another element that definitely worked: the young cast. The actors made all the difference, especially because with each new season we could see how they matured with the characters they were playing.

O awesome.club prepared a list that shows how these young people have grown since the beginning of the series. But don’t think that we’re only going to talk about the youngest, we’ve prepared a bonus at the end where we compare the before and now of two other wonderful protagonists of the series.

Millie Bobby Brown was born in 2004 and started working in 2013 on the series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. Everything changed in 2016, when she was chosen to play one of the leads of Stranger Things. At age 13, she was nominated for an Emmy and, at the same time, became the youngest person to be included in Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People list.

His role is one of the most remarkable in the series and will be fundamental in the new season, which premiered in 2022.

Finn Wolfhard was born in December 2002 and started his career in 2013 in an independent film called Aftermath. After a few years, Finn decided to switch to television and worked on shows like Supernatural and The 100. In 2016, he was nominated with the rest of the Stranger Things cast for SAG Awards and MTV Movie Awards. In 2019, he became the new face of the Yves Saint Laurent brand. It is worth noting that the actor participated in other great films, among them Ghostbusters — Beyond.

In 2022, he’s back as Eleven’s boyfriend in a more mature role.

Noah Schnapp was born in October 2004 and the role in Stranger Things was his show business debut. In 2015, Noah worked on the film Bridge of Spies, by award-winning director Steven Spielberg, and will soon be seen in other productions. Just like Finn, Noah has also entered the fashion world.

In the series, he is one of the first to know the “other side” of the world and its monsters.

Sadie Sink was born in 2002 in Texas, United States. Sadie has always shown a great passion for the art of acting, so her mother took her to acting classes that eventually paved the way for the musical Annie. In 2021, she starred in the trilogy Rua do Medo: 1994, and in 2022 she can be seen in the film Dear Zoe.

In the series, the actress has a relationship with Lucas Sinclair that has been developing over the seasons.

Gaten Matarazzo was born in 2002 in New Jersey, United States. The actor was born with cleidocranial dysostosis (a disease that affects several bones in the body), but that never stopped him from working and playing different characters.

Through his work on Stranger Things and other productions, including Angry Birds 2: The Movie, Gaten is able to talk about his illness and is able to raise funds for organizations that help people like him.

His character in the series is one of the funniest and most curious: he plays a nerd who manages to find an explanation for many mysteries, no matter how strange they may seem.

In the series, he is one of the young adults and, alongside Jonathan and Nancy, helps the children protect the city and the world from the great threat.

Winona Ryder’s career is longer and began in 1986 with the film The Innocence of First Love. During all these years she has worked in many films, some independent and some very popular, but her role in Stranger Things has put her back on top of fame. In 2022, she can be seen in the series and independent film The Cow.

David Harbor began his film and TV career in 2004. However, he was already a famous stage actor and was nominated for a Tony Award in 2005 for his performance in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
