[00:00:00]Have you ever wondered what the Stranger Things cast is really like behind the cameras?

[00:00:06]Sorry.

[00:00:07]I like I was just like, "Oh, there's a camera on me." Today, we're diving deep into the most shocking, emotional, and unbelievable real-life stories from the Stranger Things actors that will [music] completely change how you see the show.

[00:00:19]Starting with Millie Bobby Brown. At just 11 years old, she shaved her entire head for the role of Eleven. But, what most people don't know is that she was terrified. The Duffer brothers showed her pictures of Charlize Theron in Mad Max to convince her. Years later, in season 4, she actually wore a wig for the buzz cut look because her hair had grown back. Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike, had one of the most awkward moments in TV history.

[00:00:44]His very first on-screen kiss with Millie was so uncomfortable that he accidentally headbutted her.

[00:00:50]There's a scene where I think you have you have a kiss. It's a kiss in I know.

[00:00:57]Then, there's Noah Schnapp. Not only is he incredibly close with Millie, he's even the godfather to her daughter, but he also got genuinely injured on set when a skateboard hit him in the face during filming.

[00:01:16]The relationships in real life are even more interesting. Charlie Heaton and Natalia Dyer have been together since season 1, basically living their own Jonathan and Nancy love story.

[00:01:26]And Gaten Matarazzo has been with his girlfriend Lizzy Yu since 2018. But, it's not all serious. The cast had insane fun on set, too. They pulled crazy pranks on each other. From heartbreaking auditions to real injuries, secret talents, and beautiful friendships that lasted long after filming, the Stranger Things cast became a real family.
