Finn Wolfhard Reflects on Therapy Regrets From Stranger Things Fame

Finn Wolfhard, known for his role as Mike Wheeler in Netflix's 'Stranger Things,' recently reflected on his sudden rise to fame at the age of 13, expressing a desire to have sought therapy earlier during the show's explosive success. In interviews, he admitted that the overwhelming nature of the fame left him little time to process the experience, contributing to later mental health challenges, including panic attacks. Wolfhard stated, 'It was so crazy and overnight that there was not really any time to think about that,' highlighting the pressures faced by child actors in Hollywood. Despite acknowledging his regrets, he noted that mistakes are part of growing up, emphasizing that life is about trial and error. His comments resonate with his co-star Millie Bobby Brown, who has also discussed the difficulties of growing up in the public eye. As 'Stranger Things' prepares for its fifth and final season, Wolfhard's reflections offer insight into the personal toll of fame in the entertainment industry.
