Finn said that he’s used to getting recognized since he’s been in fan-favorite projects like Stranger Things, It, and Ghostbusters, but this turned out to be a different sort of fan experience.
“I thought, ‘Oh no, he’s gonna recognize me from the show,’” Finn continued. “And he said, ‘Oh, my God. You’re Timothée Chalamet!’ And then I just started laughing with my friends, like, ‘Oh my God, that’s crazy that that just happened.’”
“It was very funny,” he added. “I was relieved. I was like, ‘Yes I am!’ It was really funny.”
In another recent interview, Finn revealed what he hopes to steal from the Stranger Things set once filming wraps.
