Yes, I I guess we do. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

All right. So, I believe you are at the Kids Choice Awards.

Caleb McLaughlin

Yes, we were. We all were. Well, not all of us, it was Sadie and Millie and I.

Young Hollywood

Did you have so much fun?

Caleb McLaughlin

I had a great time. I we didn't get to stay long. Uh we had to go to another panel. And uh yeah, but we had a great time.

Young Hollywood

When I saw you were also hanging out with the Biebs during NBA Weekend. Is that

Caleb McLaughlin

Oh, yeah, that was my first time meeting him and we were teammates.

Young Hollywood

He got to meet you.

Caleb McLaughlin

I mean, sure. Yeah, he got to meet me.

Young Hollywood

We're on the blue carpet with Sadie Sink, aka Max. How's it going?

It's great to see you. You look amazing.

Sadie Sink

Thank you so much.

Young Hollywood

So feminine.

Sadie Sink

Oh, yeah. Yep, a little bit.

Young Hollywood

I love it. You look amazing. Okay. Well, tell me a little bit about this is your this was your first season on Stranger Things, season two. So, Max is kind of the new girl in school. She kind of comes in from the outside. How would you how were you feeling coming in onto the cast in season two and being a part of season two as kind of the new girl also on the show personally?

Sadie Sink

Yeah, that was one of the things that I thought was interesting is that she's the new girl on and off this

Young Hollywood

Real life and onset.

Sadie Sink

Exactly. I think we had a little bit different experience like as far as like um being accepted goes, like Max wasn't really accepted by everyone in their group. She had to prove herself. Like for Mike, I'm just going to But um uh for me, like everyone was very welcoming. So, I think that's where it differs a bit.

Young Hollywood

What do you think is going to happen with the romance for season three?

Sadie Sink

Well, it's got to continue, right? And like, well, it has to, you know? You can't just end it on a kissing note like we just kiss and that's it. It ends with, you know, like the big kiss. Yeah. I think it's got they've got to like give us a little something, you know?

Young Hollywood

Whole season two was building to that moment.

Sadie Sink

Yeah, exactly. So, they can't just like start season three and like, "Oh no, we're not together." Like, no. It's got to go somewhere.

Young Hollywood

Think Dustin's going to be sad?

Sadie Sink

You never know, maybe Dustin's over it. Maybe he doesn't like Max anymore. Maybe he still likes her. I don't know.

Young Hollywood

And we think that the name is Mucus. Is that accurate?

Sadie Sink

Yes. It is. There it is. Mucus. #Mucus Or Lex. Some people have said like, "Oh, well, oh, it's Lumax." No, but like it's Mucus. Like that's that's kind of Mucus. I think it's like funnier. Caleb and I have agreed like, "No, we should call it that." I mean, like Lumax like I guess like sounds better, but Mucus is funnier. It's really fun. I feel like we need just like we just need to embrace it. It's Mucus, guys. Come on.

Young Hollywood

You could describe your hopes for season three in three words. What would your words be?

Sadie Sink

Drama. Some love. Love. Yeah. Romance.
