Finn Wolfhard
I never knew anyone who have growing up who had a clown at their birthday party. They are something I think of as being from the past. So I never had strong feelings about them. I do think that they can be creepy, I guess it depends on the clown.Collection: Birthday
My dad is a screenwriter, so he always used to watch movies for inspiration when I was a baby. I would watch movies with him, I guess, in the background.Collection: Dad
I get recognized on the street and stuff, which is cool but it's also weird.Collection: Cool
I love retro culture. I love retro games; I love retro music.Collection: Music
The biggest thing for me, I hate going to concerts where no-one's moving. Everyone should be dancing and having a good time.
I love '80s and '90s music.
People deal with death differently; some even laugh at funerals.
I don't want to get typecast and I've been doing a lot of stuff to make that happen and not be the case.
I'm good at reading people. If I wasn't an actor, I would be a psychologist.
I read 'Carrie' when I was younger and that's one of my favourite books.
Jason Reitman is an amazing director; he's really amazing with his actors and crew.
When I was younger, I acted in some Shakespeare stuff; I did one Shakespeare camp.
Okay, I like the Clash. I like Tears for Fears. I like A-ha.
I think growing up in Vancouver is a different lifestyle than growing up in most other places.
My parents were in high school and college in the '80s, so let's just say I've heard some stuff, man. We listen to a lot of music and watch lots of great films, but the real context they provide from that era is about politics.
I love being Canadian.
I've been asked to school dances.
I love Nirvana, Joy Division, and New Order - older alternative, I guess.
I mean if anyone's comfortable being famous, they're a psychopath.
If I lounge around for too long, I get really bored. I have to be doing something.
I have lots of friends who are musicians and it is such a huge victory to survive in music, period - but if you get sick or injured and don't have the kind of coverage we get in Canada, you are doomed.
I need time to do whatever I want to do. What happens to an actor that has no life experience? They don't know how to act as a different role. So, that's really important to do.
Well, I kind of did the math in my head when I was like, 9. I was like, 'Well, if I want to make films' - because I want to be a director - 'I could just go on a film set and learn there.' And then I ended up falling in love with acting and the set and making friends all the time. And so I've just been doing that ever since.
My dad, who is a screenwriter, showed me all these great movies. He showed me 'E.T.' when I was 2-years-old, and I just kind of progressed from there. It was also my brother. We'd always watch movies together, and he'd do these voices and he'd always want to do skits and he'd come up with stuff with me.
I don't want to be mean to people. I try to be as nice as possible to everyone.
I'd recommend anyone watch 'Harold and Maude,' 'cause it helps a lot with fear of death.
I probably saw 'Jaws' when I was 10.
It's going to sound cheesy, but if I have family and friends I don't really care where I am.
Well, we shoot for so long on 'Stranger Things' that I know Atlanta really well.
Honestly, if acting never worked out, I would have done music.
I never liked horror up until I was like 10 years old.
I'd love to make a horror movie, that's definitely where I want to be one day.
I think I'm really bad at voice acting.
I think if I'm with a friend group, I try to be as funny as possible, and I don't always succeed, obviously.
Everyone wants to be funny. Maybe not everyone, but to an extent.
If I hadn't done the PUP video, I probably wouldn't be playing music right now.
PUP introduced me to so much more amazing music. They really shaped my sound.
It's really cool when the thing you are working on as a small team gets embraced by millions, but in the end, it's about your character and the script and your director and the rest of the cast and crew.
I'd seen all of John Hughes's movies. All the Spielberg stuff. A bunch of '80s horror, like 'Evil Dead.'
It was cool when the Duffers assigned a list of movies to watch.
If you don't realize that there are great rock bands out there, you should look for them.
Pup, who's like the most amazing, they're keeping rock 'n' roll and punk alive.
I guess with a Netflix show, if you're a kid, it's all dependent on how you're raised and if you have access to it.
I mainly use Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. Those are my three.
I usually just watch YouTube videos or reruns on Netflix of older TV shows like 'Family Guy' and stuff. But I still really want to start watching more TV.
I watch a lot of YouTube videos. I like game play channels like the Game Grumps. But I mostly watch sketch comedy.
I really used to like TVMaxwell, which is a classic, amazing, super-underrated comedy channel. And Cyndago was great.
I'm always interested in horror and the supernatural.
It's intriguing to me, when I see a horror script, or something like that, that's actually original. I think that's why I love 'Stranger Things,' because it's not just horror, it's everything, and when they use horror it's right.
It's my given, full name. Finn's not short for anything; it's just Finn Wolfhard. And then Wolfhard means, I think, heart of the wolf in German.
