Sophie Turner Defends Finn Wolfhard, Slams People Expecting Young Actors to Always Greet Fans
Sophie Turner is speaking out to let people know that they shouldn’t expect actors to always stop to sign autographs whenever they are asked.
There has been a bit of controversy on social media the past couple days after Finn Wolfhard didn’t stop for fans outside of his New York City hotel and one of them called him out on Twitter. The stars of Stranger Things already spoke out to defend their friend.
“Damn… seeing fully grown adults wait outside the ‘Stranger Things’ kids’ hotels etc , and then abuse them when they don’t stop for them… Is super weird A. What adult in their right mind waits for a CHILD outside their hotel and B is then is offended when the CHILD doesn’t stop,” Sophie began her 11 tweet rant.
“It doesn’t matter if they are an actor… they are kids first. Give them the space they need in order to grow without feeling like they owe,” she continued.
