Netflix’s biggest hit series, Stranger Things
, is loaded with many beautiful young ladies, from Sadie Sink to Millie Bobby Brown
, who are just as admired for their looks as they are for their talent. However, the male leads of the show are no less charismatic. Fan favorite Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike Wheeler, has been praised for his long and shiny curls, which he proudly wears like a crown. But the 22-year-old recently did something that left the whole fandom in shock.
Finn Wolfhard recently walked on the red carpet of the 9th Crunchyroll Anime Awards, looking dapper in a black suit. But what shocked everyone was his new look of a bald head. Saying goodbye to his luscious curls, Wolfhard has shaved off his head and debuted a new bald look. This new look is a big blow to the fans who are already waiting for the last puzzle piece of Stranger Things
