OlderFinn Wolfhard Gets Support from Co-Stars After Fans Call Him 'Rude'
Finn Wolfhard is receiving support from his celeb friends after he was criticized by fans for not stopping to sign autographs outside of his New York City hotel.
The 14-year-old Stranger Things actor was in the Big Apple to do press and fans lined up outside his hotel to try and meet the young star.
A fan tweeted out a video of Finn walking by the fans along with the caption, “Imagine being 14 and heartless that you can’t even stop for your fans who made you famous in the first place! WOW.”
Shannon Purser (Barb) and Noah Schnapp (Will) are among the stars from Stranger Things who have spoken out to defend Finn from people calling him “rude.”
Millie Bobby Brown recently spoke about when she will and will not take photos with fans.

Okay, no. No actor is under any obligation to stop for anyone. Finn is an incredibly kind human. But he's human and he needs breaks too. https://t.co/b4Lfrl1wU3

I experience this on a significantly smaller scale, obviously, but I've had people waiting for me in hotel lobbies, at my airport gate, etc.

And I'm an adult. I can't imagine being inundated with all this attention at his age. It's intimidating.

So, from one big sister to the world, don't you DARE make young actors feel guilty or indebted to you because they couldn't say hi.

They give you their art. They love their fans. Don't take advantage of that. And if you can't handle them needing space, stay away.
