FANS GUSH ABOUT THE UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN A HOUSE OF THE DRAGON CHARACTER
AND A STRANGER THINGS CAST

Twitter has been flooded with fans talking about two of the most important
characters of the shows who share a striking resemblance. The entire ballyhoo is
around Finn Wolfhard’s Mike Wheeler from Stranger Things and Tom Glynn-Carney,
the Dunkirk [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5013056/characters/nm6077951] star who
plays Aegon II Targaryen in House of the Dragon. According to some snaps
released on social media, Finn looked uncannily similar to Aegon but just with a
wig.

When The House of Dragon’s first episode was first aired on 22nd August 2022,
fans even mistook Glynn for Mike until it was confirmed otherwise by the
officials. The chisel-cut face, the long and the overall physique are some of
the attributes that they follow. The thread on Twitter states, “Is it me, or
does Finn Wolfhard look like Aegon.”
