They say that being famous can help you get in trouble, especially with the law, and this is just what happened to Joseph Quinn, who plays the beloved Eddie Munson in the fourth season of stranger things.
Since Quinn brought everyone’s favorite metalhead to life, the 29-year-old British performer has risen to an unimaginable level of popularity, so much so that his celebrated performance as Hawkins’ new hero saved him from prolonged detention at a US airport.
Jimmy Fallon’s guest on The Tonight Show, the actor born in London said that he had had problems in one of the immigration controls to enter the country, so he was about to not make it to the interview with the famous presenter. He himself explained the situation:
They took me to a kind of dungeon. I had to wait like twenty minutes and then they called me into an office to ask me: ‘Sir, what are you doing in the United States?’ And I said, ‘I’m here to meet Jimmy Fallon.’ And he didn’t believe me!
A story that could have ended badly, because the immigration authorities of the United States take things seriously. However, if Quinn got away with it, it was precisely because of his character as Eddie Munson and all because an agent recognized him!
One of his teammates looked at him, looked at me and said, ‘Leave Eddie alone! It’s Eddie from ‘Stranger Things’!’ So he asked me, ‘Are you Eddie Munson?’
Fortunately, once his identity and the reason for his visit to the country had been clarified, Joseph Quinn felt relieved, but it did not end there, as the agent tried to get him spoilers from the fifth season of stranger things and asked what we all want to know:
He asked me if I was going to come back next season. I replied that I didn’t know and before giving me back my passport, he told me: ‘You’d better.’
