Stranger Things cast members - how old are they now?

Usually July 4th is when we celebrate America's Independence with a nice red, white and blue themed bash inspired by Taylor Swift's ~aesthetic~. However, this year, there's more to celebrate because on July 4, 2019, season 3 of Stranger Things premieres!  

That's right, we're going back to Hawkins (and possibly the upside down world) once again. Did you know it's already been TWO years since the last season premiered. You might be asking yourselves, how old are these kids now anyway? 

So here's the deal: The show's stars are (obvi) still kids, but they're growing up. As Finn Wolfhard's character says in the trailer, "We're not kids anymore." Keep scrolling to find out how old these kids actually are! 

Millie Bobby Brown

At the beginning of the show, Millie Bobby Brown was just a 12-year-old girl. Now, she's a full on teenager with a driver's license and all. Millie is 15 years old!

Caleb McLaughlin

Caleb, who plays Lucas on the show, is one of the older kids in the group at 17. The actor is getting ready to begin a new chapter in college soon. "I just finished high school, I graduated. So I’m done, but I’m going to college this fall. Just take some courses, online courses," he revealed at the premiere. “I’m pretty excited.”

Gaten Matarazzo

The young actor is 16 years old. Besides starring in the Netflix hit show, he also has his own band Work in Progress, which are gearing up for a 9-city tour this fall. The star is also working on another Netflix project called Prank Encounters, which is facing some backlash.

Noah Schnapp

The youngest of the castmates is Noah Schnapp who is 14. He has a retro style, killer hair and (obvi) a crush on fellow actress Zendaya. Fun fact: Noah has a twin sister, Chloe Schnapp!

Sadie Sink

Sadie Sink, who joined the cast on season 2, is one of the older kids at age 17. Like her character on the show (Max) Sadie is ultra cool and has a social media feed that anyone will appreciate.

Joe Keery

The oldest from the younger castmates is Joe Keery who is 27 years young. According to the actor, they were all in a group chat, but got kicked out because they were too "old." "I’m not in any big group chat now. I’m too old for that. We got booted," he said.

Natalia Dyer

Natalia Dyer plays a high-school student on the show, but she's actually a 22-year-old. But enough about age, can we take a second to appreciate her tousled fringe?! Oh and Natalia has been dating her on-screen love interest in real life: Charlie Heaton!

Charlie Heaton

Charlie Heaton also plays a high school student on the show but is actually 25. Hilariously, the stars recently confused their characters' relationship timeline with their own!

Dacre Montgomery

The 24-year-old actor plays 18-year-old Billy on the show. Like Billy, Dacre also has Hollywood good looks. Are we all in agreement that there is a certain young Robe Lowe-esqueness circa St. Elmo's Fire to him?
