of dating advice, in between giving each other mall makeovers and lusting overRalph Macchiocenterfolds during sleepovers.
(RIP Billy.)
How does it feel to have inspired countless women with your dump his ass!
But before we talk about that, were you bummed you didnt get to do a lot of skateboarding?
You trained so much for it!I think I hadtoomany skateboarding scenes last season.
My skills were way rusty.
How did your actual friendship with Millie inspire your characters dynamic?
I did, too, but she was much more vocal about it.
That wasexactlywhat she wanted.
Im so glad the Duffers did the opposite and had us become this iconic, powerful duo.
Because we have that genuine bond, it helps with the chemistry in the show.
But with Max, shes unapologetically herself and shes so comfortable with who she is.
I think Eleven saw that in Max and thats why she reached out to her.
They can both learn from each other, too.
Shes becoming her own person.
She had trouble being accepted by the group and El at first.
I bet shes used to people not liking her at first.
What was it like to explore that massive set and pop into all of the stores?
Was it as fun to shoot as it looked?There were a lot of revisions for that montage!
It took two days to film that montage.
It was really great to let loose and not be fighting back tears or being terrified for once.
you should probably be silly sometimes.
Were you two able to get your ears pierced anyway?We didnt shoot that, unfortunately.
And it was the one big activity we were excited to shoot!
I still dont have my ears pierced!
When I first stepped onto that set I truly couldnt believe it.
At the end of shooting, a few people went on some shopping sprees.
Millie grabbed a shopping bag and went around the Gap and got a bunch of stuff.
Every single store was decked out with things that would actually be in that store in 1985.
Wicks N Sticks had about 1,000 old-school candles.
My favorite place was the shoe store, where El tried to walk in heels and fell.
It had all of these crazy vintage shoes, like sneakers that are worth thousands of dollars now.
We were given strict instructions,Do not touch the Nikes!
These are on loan!
What did you and Millie like to do together when you werent filming?
I imagine eight months in Atlanta gives you lots of time to kill.Wed always have sleepovers.
Wed alternate between houses, but sometimes Id drag her over to my house when I was being lazy.
In Atlanta, theres a place called Ponce City Market, which is kind of like Chelsea Market.
I brought her there once, and we did those Bird scooters.
Theyre very dangerous but fun!
We only did them on the BeltLine, so there were no cars, thankfully.
I feel like shes very conflicted and had been the entire season.
But you might tell shes affected by it.
Shes tough and puts up walls.
Shes trying not to show that with others, I think.
Im interested in seeing how that progresses.
From that moment on, you dont see Billy ever again, really, until his final sacrifice.
Thats what I watched when I watched him die.
It was a massive beach ball!
One of our assistant directors was shaking it back and forth.
I truly had no idea what I was doing, I just knew I had to be traumatized.
What do you think will come next for Max in season four?
Will sheeverdump Lucass ass?She already dumped his ass five times!
I should sayofficiallydump his ass.I dont know if shes ever gonna follow through with that.
Id love to see where Max is at, mentally and emotionally, after Billys death.
They didnt have the best relationship, but his passing dramatically changes the dynamic within her family.
I want to see how she copes with that.
If theres another season, the group will also be in high school at that point.
Itll be interesting to see what trouble theyll get into while growing up.
If theres anything worse than middle school, its high school.Oh, dont even get me started.
Its a whole other beast.
