Fans gush about the uncanny resemblance between a House of the Dragon character and a Stranger Things cast

Twitter has been flooded with fans talking about two of the most important characters of the shows who share a striking resemblance. The entire ballyhoo is around Finn Wolfhard’s Mike Wheeler from Stranger Things and Tom Glynn-Carney, the Dunkirk star who plays Aegon II Targaryen in House of the Dragon. According to some snaps released on social media, Finn looked uncannily similar to Aegon but just with a wig.

When The House of Dragon’s first episode was first aired on 22nd August 2022, fans even mistook Glynn for Mike until it was confirmed otherwise by the officials. The chisel-cut face, the long and the overall physique are some of the attributes that they follow. The thread on Twitter states, “Is it me, or does Finn Wolfhard look like Aegon.”

Some even wrote that “Aegon Targaryen looks like Finn Wolfhard but with a rattly blonde stripper vig.”
