As Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’&nbsp;comes to an end, Gaten Matarazzo, 23, is focused on soaking in the&nbsp;final moments. “I really want to take it in and enjoy it. I&nbsp;don’t&nbsp;think&nbsp;I’ll&nbsp;ever be in something that makes quite as much of an impact the way ‘Stranger Things’ has.” Matarazzo plays Dustin, who we see grappling with a loss. “I wanted to see a bit of a pessimism that I think [is how] a lot of children approach their grief.”&nbsp;He’s&nbsp;grateful to have understood the scale of the sci-fi series. “I spent a good chunk of my time trying to really recognize how special it was. And to live very much in the present.” But that last day on set was surreal. “It was a good day, but it was&nbsp;a very&nbsp;weird&nbsp;next&nbsp;morning. One of the most eerily quiet, melancholy kind of mornings that any of us had ever experienced.” But Hollywood did what Hollywood&nbsp;does,&nbsp;it moves on. “It&nbsp;kind of hurts&nbsp;your feelings how quickly everything starts getting turned over.&nbsp;It’s&nbsp;like, ‘Please don’t touch anything for a while.’”&nbsp;Subscribe to my newsletter:&nbsp;<a href="https://link.newsweek.com/join/for-the-culture" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://link.newsweek.com/join/for-the-culture</a>&nbsp;Follow me:&nbsp;<a href="https://linktr.ee/halanscott" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/halanscott</a>&nbsp;Subscribe to Newsweek’s YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/newsweek" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/newsweek</a>&nbsp;See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
