Joe Keery has made his way into the hearts of many as Stranger Things character Steve Harrington [1]. He's become a fan favourite on screen, but behind-the-scenes, the 27-year-old actor is just as sweet and charming as Mama Steve [2]. He might not give fans a super in-depth look into his life on social media [3], but his hilarious remarks and chemistry with some of his costars — notably Gaten Matarazzo [4] — during interviews suggest that he has a whole lot of personality (just like his hair [5]). Between perfectly mimicking the Australian accent of his costar Dacre Montgomery and making Gaten crack up while answering the web's most searched questions, Joe is a real gem to watch. Ahead, view some of his funniest interviews to date!
