Finn Wolfhard once suffered a panic attack on the set of Stranger Things

The actor - who stars on Stranger Things alongside the likes of Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp - told Time magazine: "It was incredible and subconsciously terrifying to be 13 and all of the sudden everyone knows who you are.

"I was having normal first-relationship struggles and juggling COVID and the show. Halfway through a scene I started hyperventilating. It was kind of like a fishbowl because a lot of the extras are fans. It culminated in sort of a panic attack."

Netflix has plans to build the Stranger Things universe, and Finn acknowledges that the show's final season could go a long way towards determining the future of the franchise.

He said: "I think everyone was pretty worried, honestly. The way that Game of Thrones got torn to shreds in that final season, we're all walking into this going, 'We hope to not have that kind of thing happen.'

"But then we read the scripts. We knew that it was something special."

Meanwhile, Finn previously confessed to being in a state of "shock" after he wrapped filming Stranger Things.

The actor made his debut as Mike Wheeler on the Netflix series back in 2016, and Finn revealed via social media that he was still adjusting to his new reality.

The actor wrote on Instagram: "We just wrapped Stranger things Season 5. I'm still in shock. We shot it for a year and I'll miss all of my friends and our characters terribly. (sic)"

Finn observed that he's grown up alongside some of his co-stars, and the actor hopes fans will love the fifth and final season of Stranger Things.

The TV star - who also has a passion for music, starring in the bands Calpurnia and The Aubreys - said: "I feel like we're still those people and I'm lucky to still stand beside them today. I hope you'll love this season as much as I do. See you all next year."
