Stranger Things actor Gaten Matarazzo recalled an incident in which a middle-aged woman confessed to having a crush on him since he was 13. “[I thought] like, ‘I’m sure she just meant, like, “Aw this kid’s cute,’” he said on Michael Rosenbaum’s podcast. “But then she doubled down. Like, ‘I’m aware of the age difference,’ and then I was like, ‘Alright.’” The presence of the woman’s teenage daughter added to the discomfort. “And her daughter goes, ‘Mom, what the f—?’ I swear to God, this girl must have been like 13, and she goes, ‘Mom, what the f—?’” Matarazzo also mentioned experiencing inappropriate touching from fans, saying “I’ve had a few butt grabs for sure.” (EW)
