Caleb McLaughlin

While other celebrities waited long for their big break, Caleb McLaughlin got his pretty early on. Still, he wasn’t exempt from the awkward prom photos normal teens like him experience. Here he was looking adorably awkward in a blue tux and a white flower boutonniere in 2019.

Now 19, McLaughlin has matured some more in the years that followed. The Stranger Things star, who is returning as Lucas in the show’s fourth season in 2022, has also gotten more acting credits. He starred in the 2020 film Concrete Cowboy, his big-screen debut, and got to show off his skills alongside the likes of Idris Elba.
