“Stranger Things’ Gaten Matarazzo Calls Living with Co-Star ‘Disgusting'”
Gaten Matarazzo, known for his role as Dustin Henderson in Netflix’s hit series “Stranger Things,” recently discussed his time living with co-star Finn Wolfhard. Speaking on the podcast “Dinner’s on Me” hosted by Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Matarazzo described the experience as a “college experience.” The duo shared an apartment while filming the show’s final season, which Matarazzo joined when he was just 12 years old.
Life with Finn Wolfhard
During the podcast, Matarazzo candidly noted how their living situation evolved. He recalled looking around their shared space after three months and commenting, “This place is disgusting.” Over time, personal clutter in their bedrooms spilled over into common areas, leading to a chaotic home environment. Dirty dishes piled up, and laundry became a challenge.
A Messy Living Arrangement
- Initial mess was contained to bedrooms.
- Over time, shared areas became cluttered.
- Friends often discouraged from visiting due to the untidiness.
Both actors admitted they did not hold each other accountable for cleanliness. Matarazzo humorously stated, “Both of us would be like, ‘No. Do not come 10 feet to our home.'” Despite this, he cherished the experience of rooming with one of his closest friends, saying it was “so much fun.” By the end of their lease, they managed to tidy up their living space.
The Final Season of Stranger Things
As “Stranger Things” enters its final chapter, the cast is set to bid farewell to Hawkins, Indiana. The highly anticipated fifth season premiered its first four episodes on November 26. Fans can look forward to three additional episodes premiering on December 25.

Viewing Experience
The Duffer Brothers emphasized the unique experience of watching the finale on the big screen, stating it would be a fitting way to conclude the series. They expressed enthusiasm for the combination of impressive visuals and the shared experience with fans.
Matarazzo’s reflections provide an engaging glimpse into both his personal and professional journey on the show. The combination of friendship and shared experiences has no doubt left a lasting impact as they prepare to conclude this memorable series.
