And he didn’t believe me.”“One of his colleagues looked over at me, looked at him, and said, ‘Leave Eddie alone.’” -Joseph Quinn got stopped by Immigration on his way here. #StrangerThings #JosephOnFallon #FallonTonight pic.twitter.com/Shchphj7LN— The Tonight Show (@FallonTonight) July 26, 2022The actor went on to say another immigration officer recognised him from Stranger Things, explaining”: “And one of his colleagues looked over at him, looked at me and said: ‘Leave Eddie alone!’“And then he said ‘it’s Eddie from Stranger Things’ and he was like ‘You’re Eddie Munson?… Do you come back next season?’ I was like I don’t know… and he said ‘you better’ and gave me my passport.”Quinn’s Stranger Things co-star Maya Hawke recently reflected on the death of Eddie Munson in an interview with NME.“I totally sympathise with fans who want to see more of him,” Hawke told NME, though she did have a caveat.“I feel like we can’t keep killing people and bringing them back to life – the same fans would be so annoyed!
