Finn Wolfhard Declares 'Not a Kid Anymore'

Finn Wolfhard, now 23, has humorously declared his departure from his child star status. Appearing on Saturday Night Live, Wolfhard reflected on his adolescence on the set of Stranger Things, joking about experiencing puberty and his first kiss on camera. He even quipped about his first encounter with adult content occurring during filming, as he introduced a clip of a show monster.

Wolfhard, who began his acting career at 12 when Stranger Things premiered, emphasized his new adult identity. He celebrated having facial hair and even a taste for alcohol, though he demonstrated his aversion to its spiciness by spitting out a drink offered by a castmate. He declared, 'meet the new me. The man me. Because I'm not a kid anymore.'

Joining him, co-stars Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin echoed his sentiment, asserting their status as 'former child stars.' The trio then participated in a toast with the same alcoholic beverage, none of them appearing to enjoy the taste, further emphasizing their humorous, albeit perhaps performative, embrace of adulthood.
