Stranger Things Cast Then And Now

Stranger things have been a hit from the start and we can’t believe we’re already on season 3 with season 4 to come? Those kids are growing up so fast and they just keep getting cuter with every episode. By season 4 we might just die of cuteness overload if it wasn’t for the scary creatures that seem to follow them all the time. The cast of this amazing show also keeps growing with every season so today we thought we’d take a look at the main characters and actors who play them and how they’ve changed throughout the years or how different they look in real life. We do have to warn you (in case you haven’t seen the show) – there are spoilers ahead.

1. Eleven – Millie Bobby Brown

Eleven started out as this scarred little girl with superpowers that knew nothing about life apart from horrible science facilities that made her go through painful tests. But then she found herself surrounded by friends, gained a family and even a boyfriend. Her style went from whatever is given to her, to bitchin’ to very colorful 80s look. Millie herself has grown into a beautiful girl who’s quite a fashionista herself.

2. Mike – Finn Wolfhard

Mike is kind of the default leader of his friendship group. He went from this little geek to Eleven’s saviour and then her boyfriend. His attitude might’ve gone a bit icky and teenage-y last season but you can tell that his heart is in the right place and Eleven is what he cares about the most. Finn, who plays Mike, seems way cooler looking in real life and who would’ve known his hair is that curly in real life.

3. Will – Noah Schnapp

Will’s storyline is possibly the most tragic one and that’s saying a lot considering Eleven is in the mix. But he’s just this super geeky boy who gets possessed and basically loses an entire year of his life and no one even notices at first. So he spends a lot of season 3 trying to get things back to how they were but his friends have moved on from Dungeons and Dragons and are into their girlfriends instead. Noah, however, seems to be a real stunner in real life.

4. Lucas – Caleb McLaughlin

Lucas is always the one who’s focused on the problem at hand and he doesn’t get distracted like his other friends do. By season 3 he’s dating Max and while he admits he’s not the best boyfriend ever he never stops winning her back. Caleb is 17 in real life and it’s a bit crazy to see how different he looks to his character on screen.

5. Dustin – Gaten Matarazzo

Most will probably agree that Dustin is the most adorable character on Stranger Things. He’s usually the one to come up with D&D names for monsters they encounter, he’s really smart, he’s really into radios and he goes to science camps too. His curls and his adorable smile is what drew us in but he’s really the brains of the group. Gaten shares a lot of qualities with Dustin, but it looks like he doesn’t love hats as much as Dustin.
