Caleb McLaughlin Doesn’t Want to Jinx it, But He Might Just Be a Musician

It’s Fourth of July week and Caleb McLaughlin, along with the rest of the “Stranger Things” cast, is headed to Italy. Not the most patriotic of celebrations, sure, but as the Netflix show continues on — season three is released Thursday — the fan base only continues to swell, with international viewers multiplying. “It definitely is surreal,” McLaughlin, a New York native, says. “Each season it gets even more intense. I’m just glad I have the kids to experience this with.” This summer, in addition to the attention that comes with each new season of “Stranger Things,” the actor hopes to surprise his fans — and earn some new ones — with the release of his music, a first for him. McLaughlin, who is now 17, auditioned for the show back in 2015. “I was just really excited to be a part of a TV show. I was just happy that landed a series regular,” he says. “I felt that my life would change a little bit, I felt that I would gain fans from the show. But it’s just different now, just being in it and just going to award shows, being nominated and people calling me a legend and an icon.
