If you’ve ever heard of the spooky Netflix series Stranger Things, if you’ve watched the new horror movie It, or if you don’t live under a rock, you’ve heard of Finn Wolfhard.
Ah yes, the mildly nerdy, wildly hilarious, mop-headed teenage all-star. Finn Wolfhard is truly a legend. He is a super talented actor who can make you laugh, cry, or shudder in matters of minutes…at only fourteen years old! Even though the teenage actor is mostly known for his roles in TV and movies, Finn is also very well-versed in music and comedy. He uses his talents to make the rest of the world smile, a true gift that is hard to find nowadays. So, without further ado, here are 24 things you probably didn’t know about him and 24 of the best reasons to appreciate Finn Wolfhard a bit more today and every day:
