“He’s got a foul mouth,” said Matt Duffer as he was interviewed by VarietyOpens in a new tab on the Emmy Awards red carpet. “After [Wolfhard] came back from shooting It–he did it before we shot season two–he was saying ‘f-bomb-ing’ everywhere. And I was like, ‘What happened to my innocent Finn Wolfhard?'”
Matt’s brother Ross agreed (jokingly) that “It totally corrupted him,” though the pair did concede that Wolfhard is “still a great kid” whom they’re proud to see hit the big time, especially in a Stephen King movie.

All kidding aside, we’re still very impressed by Wolfhard and his fellow Stranger Things cast members. And we’re definitely looking forward to the second season of the show, which is set to premiere on Friday, October 27.What do you think about Wolfhard’s new R-rated lingo?
