I love to relax.

I love using TikTok for comic relief.

I go to Montreal a lot - maybe twice a year.

I love filming at night. I'm like a night owl.

I'll be Spider-Man. I'm just kidding, I love Tom Holland.

Adam Sandler would always be cracking jokes; he's really great.

I love having new cast members; it just really changes things up.

But, I feel like I grew up in the '80s now from 'Stranger Things.'

It's really exciting to get to be the main character of something.

I've done enough running from monsters. It's time to do some chasing.

It's nice that I can do what I want with my hair when I'm not filming.

I go to camp every summer for seven weeks and it's like sleepaway camp.

I was working with Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg when I was nine years old.

You really disconnect yourself from the world being in the middle of nowhere.

I go on YouTube just for fun when I have nothing to do. I love watching Lilly Singh.

It's very corny, 'never give up' - but it's just a great quote that I always follow.

A good book, or a good show leaves a lot of unanswered questions but makes you think.

Being with Winona Ryder, she's so good at what she does that she makes my job easier.

I always say what makes acting so much easier is when you get to act off of good actors.

I love being online because I feel like you can just be yourself and it's so easy to open up.

After I saw 'Annie' on Broadway, I came out of the show crying, because I wanted to be on that stage.

I was so excited to play Will. He goes into the Upside Down, and he has some pretty crazy experiences.

One time, I went to a Bruins game and I had to pretend that I was a Bruins fan, but I'm truly a Habs fan.

If I'm trying to get into character and it's an emotional scene, I'll listen to depressing or really sad music.

With a movie you just film for a few months and when you say goodbye, sometimes you never see the people again.

Emotional scenes can be especially difficult because I'm such a hyper, excited person, so sometimes that can be hard.

I've never been stuck in the Upside Down, and no one else I know has, so it was kind of something new to just create.

It's pretty cool to watch a film where the character barely says anything but you can see exactly what he's thinking.

I thought it would be really cool to play a role where I go missing and people look for me and I'm in this other world.

It's definitely pretty overwhelming sometimes. But I'm really lucky and grateful to have all these fans. I know I'm lucky.

I think Facebook is more for old people and, like, adults. My parents use Facebook. I honestly have never been on Facebook.

I try to make sure that I still get a normal life and go to school - do all the normal things. I still want to have a childhood.

I always wonder if Apple iPhones and all these electronics that we use today are still going to be a thing in like 10, 20 years.

I am still a normal kid, but when I'm walking on the street, there will be people who ask me to sign a poster or take a picture with them.

My parents always told me about VHS tapes. And the Walkman, everyone had those. I had never even seen one until I got onto 'Stranger Things.'

Like, from my middle school dance... the boys were on one side, and the girls were on the other side, and we never interacted with each other.

There's always so many opportunities and different movies that I can do, but it depends on what interests me and what I think is a fit for me.

I do school on set and then when I come home I go back to school and kind of balance it out. One day I'll be 18 and then I won't have to do it.

Usually there will be a funny trend that I put my own twist on or something hilarious happens to me and I think - 'This would be a perfect TikTok.'

I found this book that had every 'Peanuts' strip from 1952 to 1955 and read every one. Amazing. So now I can say I have become a big 'Peanuts' fan.

I mainly use Instagram and Twitter to be able to interact with fans and talk to them, and then Snapchat is the app I use to interact with my friends.

I am a big fan of 'E.T.,' of course. And I remember watching 'Jurassic Park' - I was so into it. Oh, and 'Schindler's List.' That one was amazing, too.

My dad is a huge Habs fan. He'd always be yelling at the TV and screaming at the players. I just started watching with him once, and I became a big fan.

I was very excited, but I didn't really think I could get the work in 'Peanuts.' Still, I really, really wanted it, because I knew I could do it. And I got it.

Being in the public eye, especially, can be hard sometimes. It's kind of like anything you do is... if you make any mistake... It can definitely be overwhelming sometimes.

I've tried watching shows before while I'm filming and it doesn't go good because I binge-watch all night and then I wake up with like one hour of sleep on my filming day.

I have made a few 'Stranger Things' related TikToks because my fans love that and I definitely plan on making some while on set of 'Stranger Things' when production starts up again.

Not everyone stops me on the streets, but when you're at airports or public places like that. It's kind of weird for me. I don't know how they recognize me. It just happens when people see me.

For me, Will being gay or not is besides the point. 'Stranger Things' is a show about a bunch of kids who are outsiders and find each other because they have been bullied in some way or are different.

When I had to have a little seizure, I looked up videos of people having seizures. I remember looking up symptoms and what happens to your body. You kind of just lock up and I had to prepare for that. A lot.
