Gaten Matarazzo Says Rooming With Finn Wolfhard During Final Season Was “Like College” — and “Disgusting”

He shared the messy roommate story on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s podcast during the staggered rollout of Stranger Things’ final season.

Overview

  • Matarazzo said he and Wolfhard lived together for about a year while filming the fifth and final season of the Netflix series.
  • He recalled the apartment becoming “disgusting” as clutter spread from their bedrooms to shared spaces, with laundry and dishes piling up.
  • The pair “matched each other’s energy” on cleaning, he said, adding that they eventually learned to tidy up and improved by the end of their lease.
  • Volume One of season five debuted Nov. 26 with four episodes, three more arrive Dec. 25, and a two-hour finale lands Dec. 31 with a limited run in 350 U.S. and Canadian theaters.
  • Matarazzo’s remarks were made on the Dinner’s on Me podcast, as outlets also note minor discrepancies over whether he was 12 or 13 when first cast.
