    Finn Wolfhard wishes he would've put himself into "therapy" after finding fame on 'Stranger Things'

    The 22-year-old actor was only 13 when he burst into the spotlight on the hit Netflix series in 2016 and admits that he would take better care of his mental health if he was able to go through the experience again


    In an interview with People, Finn said: "I don't think I'd ever go back and do something over, but maybe I would go back to when the first show came out and blew up, and I would directly put myself into therapy.

    "But it was so crazy and overnight, that there was not really any time to think about that."

    However, the 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' acknowledges that making errors is simply a part of life.

    He explained: "I would end up probably making a mistake in a different way anyways. I think childhood, and life in general, is about trial and error."

    Finn previously expressed regret at bottling up the impact that his "crazy whirlwind career" had on his mental health and admitted that he started having panic attacks at one point.

    He told GQ in 2023: "Everyone was like, 'Look at him, he's fine. He's having the best time.'

    "But in reality, I was probably also developing, and things were happening in my brain, and anxieties were forming, and (there were) things that I didn't realise that I had to bury because of how I had to feel at work."

    The fifth and final season of 'Stranger Things' will air later this year and Finn admits that his last day on set was "incredibly emotional" - likening it to the plot of the film 'Toy Story 3' where the character Andy realises he has outgrown his toys and bids farewell to his childhood companions.

    He said: "It was incredibly emotional, obviously.

    "It's the last 10 years of my life. Also for the creators, the Duffer Bros. started when they were 30 and now they are 40.

    "Everyone had a long journey and shared it together. My whole childhood was there.

    "It was sort of the 'Toy Story 3' moment of leaving your toys behind. It was really special."
