Gaten Matarazzo Talks Stranger Things' Final Season and Joining the Cast of Sweeney Todd (Extended)

I think we can all agree that Gaten is one of the most down-to-earth actors out there 😭

The way gaten got excited after seeing his friend is so precious 🥹

Gaten is so precious I love him so much and I will definitely miss Stranger Things and how much it has impacted my life, all good things must come to an end as they say.

I saw Gaten in Sweeney Todd this past Thursday night, and when I say he was incredible I mean he was INCREDIBLE! He hit every note effortlessly and made me want to cry by the finale!

So happy for Gaten's success. I used to work with his dad at an Atlantic City casino many years ago
and he was just as cool as his son.

I hope Hollywood doesn't mess him up. He seems like a really good dude and an awesome friend.

Man, he is so well spoken! And so full of personality, he's the best! ❤

I saw Gaten in Sweeney Todd last Friday and all I can say is that he was a PERFECT Toby. He understood the assignment 1000%. I even got his autograph!

"hey buddy! i miss you!" that was so precious im dead

I love Gaten so much, such a amazing energy, soul and human❤️

Love how kind and interesting all of the Stranger Things kids are! Wonderful actors and people!

To say Gaten is wise beyond his years, is a complete understatement. Such a smart kid.

"I'm looking for a friend" not even the first second of the vid. AWWWEEE what a pure wholesome human

I respect how excited he was to see his friend and the gracious praise towards him as well

I’m so excited for season 5 of stranger things but I’m sad it’s coming to an end.

The charismatic energy Gaten has I love him ❣️❤💙

Love graten he's so charismatic funny ,and is a great actor ❤.

I could see him as a late night host one day. Great personality, funny, talented...fits the bill.

This guy is precious, we need to protect him at all cost. Love him since the first episode of stranger things❤ can't wait for the finale!!!!

I love Gaten, he is so talented, kind, I love whe he laughs, his laughter is always contagious and I risk a saying that he has the best 🙌🏻 signing voice of the entire family of Stranger Things but I love 🤩everyone's voices.

Such a sweet kid. Just a normal kid but very talented

I loved it when he sang with Susie the NeverEnding Story. It was so sweet first love of Dustin . Stranger things is a awesome. Saddened to see it come to a end.

I love gaten so much he’s the absolute sweetest

Love him. He will hopefully go far after Stranger Things, they are all awesome and deserve a great career. It helps that he can sing and do other prospects ❤

HE’S ADORABLEEEE AND SO HUMBLE.

I'm pushing 50 and I'm fan-girling this kid SO hard. Those pipes... Sweeney Todd is one of those stories I've been obsessed with since I was probably 10 so it already makes me a bit weepy, so when I heard his version of "Not While I'm Around", I freakin ugly-cried. Voice of an angel, I believe the saying goes.
TL:DR - Gaten and Joe need to get together and do a buddy road comedy. 😂❤

I know people tend to see him as younger than he actually is, but even for 20 he is surprisingly eloquent and incredibly down to earth.

Well done young man. Eloquent and sweet.
You'll go far!

Definitely the most charismatic member of the cast.

he’s like the most chill and best stranger things actor.

This kid is awesome as hell and has encouraged my confidence for acting

We need more of Gaten in EVERYTHING

I met him back in 2017 at Foxwood Resorts Casino for a Con. He’s a total sweetheart and this was before he filmed season 2 then. I wanna meet him again and can’t wait to see what more stuff he does! 😇

My son now 28) & I saw Gaten do Gavroche in Les Mis on 6/8/2014 at adorable 11 yrs old, he belted it out! Now we both love ST, def must see him in this!!!

I will say I always loved his character and found out later we are both libras. He's got the charm the good looks and the comedy, hope he prevails far!❤

I love Gatens twinkling eyes - he is so enchanting to listen to as well.

Love him 🥰 what a sweet person

if the 80s kids have goonies… my kids now have stranger things. 🖤 that’s crazy amazing!

Met Gaten in December at a Con and he’s such a genuine, down-to-go person and sweet person

As someone with CCD, it's so nice to hear Gaten talk about it. I can't wait to meet him next year at CCD Smiles!!!😊

omg I am seeing him in Sweeney Todd in like two weeks and I am so excited!!! he's incredible

What a lovely guy he's turned out to be ❤️

He is such a humble man

I love these ascending actors! It's going to be very interesting to see them grow and take on new roles

I'm so excited for season 5 of stranger things ,but I don't think iam ready to see it end.

Gaten was in Les Miserables on broadway with my brother. He is a cool, humble dude.

WE NEED MORE GATENS IN THE WORLD. Such an awesome, down to earth dude!

What a genuine and lovely guy.

We’ve got to protect Gaten at all cost.

Great interview

He can sing! I love watching Gaten in whatever show or movie he is in.

Met Gaten after Sweeney Todd and he is as genuine a soul as you will ever meet and find

Such a funny and talented young actor. Awesome to see him on.

Gaten is so kind hearted💗

Gaten Matarazzo is already a massive star,.... let's see what he goes on to do next. 🍿🍿🍿

Met Gatem briefly at the Steele city comiccon. We got a photo with him. He did seem very nice and down to earth. It’s my understanding he stayed there all night so many fans could get a photo with him. Great person.

I met him in November and he’s just so amazing xx

YESSSSS! Gaten is the best!!!💙

Galen: I love that guy
joe watching this:do you get deja vu

Love Stranger Things can’t wait to see season five but I am a huge musical lover and Sweeney. Todd is my absolute favorite. I have tickets to go see it in New York and I am just beyond excited. September can’t come fast enough.

He is such a gem

I met him yesterday, and he’s so sweet wholesome and sweet!!❤

Muy buena entrevista

Awww he is so sweet ❤❤

A solid, well-parented and genuine young man. PEACE 💜

His voice is changing so much!

Gaten is awesome. What a great young man!

Ah! Gaten is so amazing 😍 Love him

Would LOVE to see him in Sweeney Todd! such a good play

My whole choir is going to see Sweeney Todd in April, and we’re all super excited! I’m sure it’ll be great

Aww he’s such a genuine guy

He is such a wholesome person I love him🫶🫶

Gaten for the win! He's a fantastic actor, and such a force for good 👏👍

That why Dustin my favorite Stranger Things character

I loveee Gaten so much omg , his acting and the person he is !!!!!!!!

I'm really glad things are going so well for Gaten. All the best to him.

Gaten is an incredibly talented actor 😊

Bring it on! Cannot wait!!

I used to be obsessed with him wow he’s still so precious

Stranger Things is one of the best shows ever! Can't wait until the final season!

What a talented loveable soul 💖

Gaten is just fun and fabulous and talented 🤩

Stranger things 5 theories!
1. Max will for sure wake up from her coma. Now way she is getting paid 7 million dollars just to be asleep for the entire season
2. Will officially tells mike that he liked him, and develops a strong friendship with robin for it. Seems like a no-brains
3. No new characters will be introduced. The directors already added Eddie to season 4 who immediately was a fan favorite, just to be killed off. I highly doubt new characters will show in the last season of filming, especially of the time they have and budget. They anyway have said that the main 4 from season 1 will star.
4. We find out why Will was really taken to the upside down when he was younger, and how that might have created a “bond” between vecna and will. We know from season 4 that once vecnas victims are killed by him, they become a part of him. And since Joyce and hopper found will almost dead in the upside down, vecna might have taken a small part of him.
5. Will and Steve won’t die. After all that will has been through the last few seasons, he definitely hasn’t come this far to just die in the show. Same for Steve, he is one of our main fighters in the show and ties too many things together where if he dies, they’re pretty much screwed. My main predictions for who will die are vecna, robin, and eleven.
Pin this so people can see!

He is so nice and lovely 😍 and of course soooo talented!!!

I'm so excited for the final season. This show is so good, and it came out of nowhere and just took us by surprise! Gaten is an amazing actor,, as well as everyone else on the show! Winona?? a Hawke?? Sexy Santa?? What more could you ask for

I can’t wait any longer

Hahaha the description of the play was epic

Im so so stoked for st s5 man you cant believe

If you’re going to see Sweeney Todd, go in knowing nothing. It’s way more that it is described on paper ❤

Mateo being there just made my day

i love his smile

I love Gaten! He's so smart!

so sweet

i love how he says buddy

Him waving at his friend 🥹🥹

We love you gaten we really like to see you again on season 5 we miss you so much here in the philipines ❤

I just saw it last night, the best way to describe it would be that the show is hilarious; the plot is heartbreakingly dark.

Awesome ❤❤❤❤

The way he said “everyone loved it” ahah when he sang fly me to the moon and flipped his hat

I absolutely love getting in and his work he is so amazing but seeing stranger things and is so bittersweet.😛❤😭
