”OK BOOMER” IS A CATCHPHRASE often used by Gen Zs to mock attitudes typically associated with baby boomers, or those born in the two decades following World War II. For a long time now, the cross-generational if the highly fraught dialogue was built atop Boomer complaints leveraged on Gen Zs for their perceived lack of ambition or overspending on frivolous things like avocados; conversely these young adults blamed the older generation for “mortgaging their futures” while driving up property prices. Every now and again, an outlier arises that defies any categorisation or labels, other than the one he was given ‒ Finn Wolfhard.
Actor, director, face for Saint Laurent, and musician, Wolfhard is best known for his starring roles in Netflix’s global hit Stranger Things as well as 2017’s It. He was last seen in Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, an acclaimed new chapter in the “Ghostbusters” universe. Wolfhard not only defies every Gen Z stereotype, he isn’t fame-hungry like his Instagram and TikTok peers. After Stranger Things premiered on Netflix in 2016, then 13-year-old Finn Wolfhard logged on to their Insta-account to find he was rapidly going from an unknown Canadian kid to one of the world’s most recognisable young actors. Five years on, Stranger Things remains one of Netflix’s most popular shows, with its second and third seasons racking up more than 1 billion combined viewing hours, and on the eve of its 4th and penultimate season, the gifted Zoomer shows no sign of stopping.
