In 2025, Gaten Matarazzo, the actor who plays Dustin Henderson on the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, has shared an intriguing revelation about his early ambitions. Prior to landing his breakout role, Matarazzo was eager to audition for the reality singing competition show The Voice, but was unable to do so because he was too young at the time.
"I remember when that show first came out, I was like, 'Oh my gosh, how do I get on?' when I was, like, 9," Matarazzo said in a recent interview. He had already been working on Broadway, so he likely would have been able to handle the demands of The Voice. When asked which song he would have auditioned with, Matarazzo revealed his top pick: the 1954 jazz standard "Fly Me to the Moon."
