The Cast Of ‘Stranger Things’ Have Been Changed So Much Since Season 1
God, we’re so old.
It’s so unbelievable to see ‘Stranger Things’ season 4 announced, and it’s so bizarre to read about how Millie Bobby Brown is dating and just turned 18 a few weeks ago. Not long after the filming for season 4 began, the pandemic caused the filming to halt. And it has been two years since.
And now we kinda need to go back and see just how much our cute little actors and actresses have grown up. Some of us probably grow together with them as part of our childhood, and it’s time to go down memory lane.

Millie Bobby Brown has even started her own beauty line and turned 18 recently! We absolutely love her Barbie makeup with a bit of a renaissance twist there.
Noah Schnapp as Will Byers.

Everyone wonders if season 4 will be another variation of ‘Finding Will’ but we’ll see. Also, he’s grown into a handsome lad and was modeling at the Paris Fashion Week in 2021. He’s 17 and also a close friend to co-star Millie Bobby Brown!
Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler.

From the very first episode of season 1 to the latest premiere show Finn attended for ‘Jackass Forever’ this year. He’s 19 years old now. Pictured below was a photoshoot Finn did for an interview with Washington Post in 2021.
Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair.

The Sinclair duo was always a major comedy relief for us, especially when he’s reminded that he’s a real nerd! Pictured on the right is his appearance at the 2022 SCAD Savannah Film Festival.
Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson.

Six years later, Gaten chubby cheeks are still adorable as ever. Pictured above was at the ‘The Shrink Next Door’ premiere in 2021. Gaten has turned 19!
Sadie Sink as Max Mayfield.

Sadie joined the family in season 2 as Max Mayfield with her brother, Billy Hargrove. Pictured above was her red carpet look for ‘Fear Street’ premiere in 2021 and did you know that our MadMax is 19 years old already?!
Joe Keery as Steve Harrington.

He’s the cool guy stock character dragged into a world with not-your-typical stock plot. Joe Keery turned 29 and did you know that he also acted in ‘Free Guy’?
Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers.

We’re loving the look of a reclused, quiet character changing into one that walks for Dior for their Men’s Fall 2022 show in 2021. Charlie is now 28. And did you guys also know that he is dating Nancy Wheeler even off-screen?!
Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler.

Natalia Dyer was 21 when she first worked with ‘Stranger Things’ and she’s now 27! The picture was taken from her video call for the 2020 SCAD Savannah Film Festival. Oh, and did we tell you that we absolutely love seeing her modeling?
Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers.

Will she be looking for her son again? At 50 years old, we absolutely cannot believe that this woman is the real monster because she’s aging backwards at this point. This doesn’t make sense.
David Harbour as Jim Hopper.

Best dad ever has turned 46 years old this year. He still loves gaming, acting, and making hilarious posts like this one below. Guess what it is about!
