It's been over 30 years [1] since the beloved classic The Princess Bride hit cinemas, but if you're still dreaming about Cary Elwes, you're not the only one. Lucky for us, he has a new role lined up, and we're happy to report that he is looking fine as ever. Along with Maya Hawke and Jake Busey, Elwes is joining the cast of Stranger Things [2] for its third season [3]. He's playing Mayor Kline, who, according to Netflix, we can expect to be "handsome, slick, and sleazy . . . your classic '80s politician. [4]" Not terribly heroic-sounding, but we'll take it! While we await the July 4 premiere of season three, let's reminisce about how dreamy Elwes was back in the actual '80s.
