All of the child actors in Stranger Things were terrific but if we were pressed to pick our favourite it would be Gaten Matarazzo (AKA Dustin) every single time.
Dustin could so easily just have been the 'funny' one in the group of friends but Matarazzo injected him with so much of himself that he charmed the audiences with his unique quirks. He's even become a role model for people with Cleidocranial Dysplasia.
Thanks to the success of the show, the 13 year old is finding that he gets recognised by fans on the street a lot and has decided to share his fan encounters on social media because "they mean as much to me as I mean to them."
He'll go far.
Even Mike (Finn Wolfhard) was getting in on the action.
If you don't already follow Gaten on Instagram you really should. It gives you access to gems like this.
