Joe Keery thinks obsession over his Stranger Things hair is “ridiculous”

Joe Keery is one of many breakout stars from Stranger Things, having earned plaudits for playing Steve Harrington these last six years. Apparently the character is pretty close to his own personality, so it’s not hard to get into the zone. “[I]t feels like a shade of me,” Keery told The Daily Beast.

That said, Keery and Steve have drifted apart in some key ways. The timeline on Stranger Things advances only slowly — the upcoming fifth and final season will pick up right after the end of the fourth — but in real life, Keery has just turned 30 while Steve is a recent high school graduate. “I feel kind of disconnected from being that age, because I am 10 years older,” Keery said. “So that’s a little weird.”

But there’s one thing that never changes: questions about Steve’s hair. “It’s really ridiculous. It’s not something I have control over,” Keery said. “It’s just internet fodder that’s carried over and is now attached to me. I can’t really knock it. I have a career, so I have to be like, ‘Who cares?’ I’ll take it. But it’s also not something I care about at all. Still, people seem to really care about it and fixate on it, for whatever reason. It’s so stupid, honestly.”

Megan Thee Stallion has questions about the Steve-Nancy-Jonathan love triangle

So far as season 5 goes, Steve is currently embroiled in something of a love triangle with Nancy (Natalia Dyer) and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton). Nancy has a choice to make, and rapper Megan Thee Stallion knows who she should choose.

Let’s back up a bit: Dyer appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. Megan Thee Stallion was also there, and she had questions. “At first, you liked Steve. You were into Steve, and then you just kind of like dumped him,” the rapper said. “No caution, he didn’t know what was happening.”

"So then, in this last season, you was flirting with Steve. So like, what’s it really giving, Nancy?…I feel like you like Steve still."

Megan clearly knows her stuff! Dyer revealed what little she could. “I do feel bad,” she said. “Honestly, I just think the way Jonathan and Nancy happened, I was like…she doesn’t always make the most morally right decisions all the time. But that’s human…You know, I have options, I guess.”

We’ll see which one she picks when the final season of Stranger Things drops on Netflix, hopefully sometime next year.
