Sophie Turner defends 'Stranger Things' star Finn Wolfhard against irate fans
Game of Thrones and Stranger Things have collided in an unexpected way. When fans outside Finn Wolfhard's hotel room were upset that the actor didn't stop to meet them, one posted a video to social media (which is now private) calling the actor "rude and heartless."
Big sister Sansa (in spirit) was having none of it. Sophie Turner took to Twitter on Tuesday and posted a series of tweets defending Wolfhard and criticizing those who posted the video.
"What adult in their right mind waits for a CHILD outside their hotel and B is then is offended when the CHILD doesn’t stop" she posted.

It's worth noting that Turner has been in the public eye since she was 15 – Wolfhard is now 14 and experienced his breakout success over a year ago. Turner is now 21 and grew up watched by millions on one of the most successful television shows in history. She can relate pretty well to Wolfhard's experience with fans – certainly more than most.

Over the weekend, when the video first surfaced on Twitter, actress Shannon Purser (you know, Barb from Stranger Things) defended Wolfhard immediately, saying that "No actor is under any obligation to stop for anyone."
