Gaten Matarazzo is getting real about life after Stranger Things.
The hit Netflix show is about to pick up filming on the final season this summer, and the 20-year-old actor is worried that he will be out of a job as soon as the series wraps.
During his recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Gaten opened up about the fear he feels about the show ending. When asked about the show nearing its end, he said:
“It’s interesting to constantly just be reminded how much people have resonated with it.
I mean, it’s something that’s so important to all of us and has just been essential to the growth that I’ve had over all of my teenage years into my 20s.”
He added:
“It’s the defining aspect of the past 10 years of my life, practically the past decade.”
Gaten shared that goodbye will be bittersweet, saying:
“There’s kind of an excitement there because you always want to wrap it up and see how these characters are going to finally develop one last time, and how they’re going to finish their journeys.
But also there’s like a deep fear. Not only has it been amazing, but it’s been pretty great job security for a while. Back to freelance.”
