Finn Wolfhard is dishing out some juicy details about his love life—or more accurately, the absolute lack thereof. The 22-year-old Stranger Things star recently opened up about why dating as a celebrity is like trying to connect to Wi-Fi in the Upside Down.
In a chat with IconicHipster.com, Finn basically said: dating when you’re famous is a minefield filled with clout chasers, awkward vibes, and people who just want to say they’ve touched a famous elbow.
“As someone people kinda-sorta know,” Finn said in the most humble-brag way possible, “randomly meeting new people is risky. Like, are they into me or just into the idea of me? Do they want Finn the person or Finn the pop culture cryptid?”
He continued, “It’s not paranoia. I’m not rocking a tinfoil hat or anything. But sometimes, you meet people who want the image, not the actual human inside the image. And lemme tell you—that does not make me feel like a whole snack. More like a vending machine burrito.”
Instead, Finn says he’s all about meeting someone he can actually talk to without them asking, “So, like, what’s Millie Bobby Brown really like?” every five minutes.
And before you start mentally swiping right on him, chill. He’s not exactly out here writing rom-coms about his life. “I’ve never been a super romantic dude,” he said. “I don’t do flings. I like actual connections. Like, talk-for-hours, share-Spotify-playlists, cry-at-the-same-movie connections.”
And in case that wasn’t already your green flag, he added, “Right now, I’m chasing stability. Like, full-on, socks-that-don’t-have-holes stability.”
So basically, Finn’s not looking for love in the DMs or the wild streets of L.A.—he’s looking for peace, quiet, and maybe someone who can quote The Princess Bride while folding laundry.
Until then, he’s keeping his heart (and his group chats) private.
And to those hoping to casually bump into him at a coffee shop and spark a whirlwind romance? Sorry. Unless your opening line is “Let’s talk about emotional maturity and tax brackets,” you’re gonna have to wait in line.
