Hanging out with Caleb, aka Lucas from Stranger Things. Yes. How's it going?
I'm great. How are you?
I'm great. You look amazing. Look at this outfit. You guys are all styling as a crew. You know what's up.
Yes, I I guess we do. Yeah.
All right. So, I believe you are at the Kids Choice Awards.
Yes, we were. We all were. Well, not all of us, it was Sadie and Millie and I.
Did you have so much fun?
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.
When I saw you were also hanging out with the Biebs during NBA Weekend. Is that
Oh, yeah, that was my first time meeting him and we were teammates.
He got to meet you.
I mean, sure. Yeah, he got to meet me.
We're on the blue carpet with Sadie Sink, aka Max. How's it going?
Good.
It's great to see you. You look amazing.
Thank you so much.
So feminine.
Oh, yeah. Yep, a little bit.
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?
Yeah, that was one of the things that I thought was interesting is that she's the new girl on and off this
Real life and onset.
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.
What do you think is going to happen with the romance for season three?
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?
Whole season two was building to that moment.
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.
Think Dustin's going to be sad?
You never know, maybe Dustin's over it. Maybe he doesn't like Max anymore. Maybe he still likes her. I don't know.
And we think that the name is Mucus. Is that accurate?
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.
You could describe your hopes for season three in three words. What would your words be?
Drama. Some love. Love. Yeah. Romance.
