Over the years, the cast of one of the most beloved OTT shows in recent years grew up together and ended up developing a close bond. Since the show’s inception, they have all kept on good terms, which still holds months after the show has officially ended.
What advice did the ‘Stranger Things’ cast have for Joe Keery for his theatre debut?
‘Other Desert Cities’ is Keery’s debut role in a theatre production. During the interview, when talking about whether fellow castmates from ‘Stranger Things’ gave him advice, Keery quickly pointed out that he did, in fact, get some quick pointers from Sadie Sink, who recently appeared in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’.He revealed, “Yeah, Sadie did. I saw her before Romeo & Juliet opened when I was across the pond, and she had some good words of advice and really kind of urged me to do [theater too]. She thought I would have a nice time. And then I’ve been texting Gaten as Rent has opened, and yeah, he’s killing it over there.”
About Joe Keery and Finn Wolfhard’s bond
In December last year, while attending a panel session held at The Paley Museum in New York City, the show’s co-creator, Matt Duffer, shared insight into the bond the ‘Stranger Things’ cast has developed over the years, especially between Wolfhard and Keery.He shared at the time, “That’s exactly how Finn was with Joe back in the day. I mean, Finn followed Joe around like a little puppy dog. It was so cute.” At the time, he had been talking about how the pair were in the early days of filming for the show. Wolfhard, who was also present for the panel, weighed in on the matter and joked, “And then Joe would follow me around.”Since his rise to popularity with ‘Stranger Things,’ Keery has starred in multiple films and other projects, including ‘Free Guy,’ ‘Cold Storage,’ and ‘Fargo,’ to name a few.
