Ready for Eddie

IT’S BEEN A STRANGE WEEK FOR JOSEPH QUINN – THE BREAKOUT STAR OF STRANGER THINGS

As well as returning Kate Bush to the top of worldwide music charts for the first time in decades, the latest season of Stranger Things has been responsible for the seemingly overnight success of Joseph Quinn. The breakout star of Season 4 of the Netflix horror series thanks to his portrayal of metal-loving Eddie Munson, Quinn has quickly become one of the series’ most-popular actors – with fans and celebrities alike.

At a recent appearance at London Film and Comic Con, Quinn was moved to tears after an audience member at a Q&A session expressed gratitude for the amount of time he was giving convention attendees.

“Thank you for signing our things, spending time with us and making our summer,” the woman in the auditorium told him. “I think we’ve all connected with Eddie for one reason or another.” As he wiped a tear from his eye, Quinn jokingly replied, “Ah, why did you do that?”
