However, some fans have taken things a bit too far, and Finn has opened up about the dark side of fame.

Speaking to Mastermind Magazine, he said: "When I was 13, some adults followed me back to my condo when I was shooting It.

"Stranger Things had just come out, and I was by myself. As I walked faster, they walked faster, and I was getting a bit antsy by the time I got to the door.

"Suddenly, they were like, ‘Hey, dude, can we get a selfie?’ And I was like, ‘No you can’t have a selfie! How about don’t follow children?'”

Sadly for Finn that wasn't the only incident involving obsessed Stranger Things fans.

He added: "I also had my taxi followed and, out of the taxi, the person continued to be pretty relentless.”

As well as his acting work, Finn also performs in a band called Calpurnia, but over-zealous fans have caused problems at concerts too.

Finn told the publication he had had to "stop shows because people were getting crushed".
