How did Nell Fisher play Holly in Stranger Things season 5 and what did she learn from Finn Wolfhard?
Stranger Things
The final season of Netflix’s blockbuster show Stranger Things has aired, but did you notice that Mike and Nancy’s younger sister, Holly, looks a little different now?
Yes, the role is now being played by 14-year-old Nell Fisher. The story of how she assumed this responsibility from the old Holly, the Price twins (Tinsley and Annie), and how she got along with the new people on set is quite interesting.
Special Meeting at the Trampoline Park
Nell didn’t just step onto the set; instead, to delve into the role, she met with the Price twins, who played Holly in previous seasons.
This wasn’t a boring meeting; they spent two hours jumping around at a trampoline park.
Nell said the two girls are adorable and they openly discussed Holly’s character development, which helped her prepare.
Finn Wolfhard Gave a Big Lesson
Because Finn Wolfhard (who plays Mike) also started on the show when he was Nell’s age, he became a perfect mentor to Nell.
He taught Nell the most important lesson of the industry: “Learn to say no.”
Finn explained that as a child actor, one must be able to respect one’s personal time and politely refuse when necessary.
Live Demo at the Dinner Table
Not just talk, Finn demonstrated it by doing. Once, while Nell was having dinner with her mom, Sadie Sink, and Gaten Matarazzo, a fan came over to take a photo.
Coincidentally, Finn was just learning the importance of saying no. He politely dismissed the fan, which was a masterclass for Nell on how to be polite and still set boundaries.
Millie’s Dance Under Stress
Shooting isn’t always easy. Nell recalls that everyone was exhausted while filming Episode 8, and the atmosphere was quite tense.
\Then Millie Bobby Brown took it upon herself to lighten the mood.
She, along with Nell and the other kids, choreographed a dance to Sabrina Carpenter’s song “Please, Please, Please.” To this day, whenever Nell hears that song, she remembers those fun days.
