Stranger issues have occurred.
Horror hunk Dacre Montgomery has shared why he stepped back from the limelight after discovering stardom in Netflix’s mega-hit show “Stranger Things.”

The Australian-born actor, who rose to fame taking part in Billy Hargrove on the 12-time Emmy Award-winning collection, needed to navigate Tinseltown on his phrases.
“I’m not trying to compete with anyone else, I’m living my truth — and hopefully being able to pay the rent while I’m doing it,” Montgomery said.
Montgomery joined “Stranger Things” during the show’s second season and his character was killed off at the end of the third season, which aired in July 2019.
“I’ve given a piece of myself to every role I’ve played and that’s largely why I’ve taken time off,” Dacre added.
Montgomery has acted in almost a dozen tasks over the past decade.

“The connective tissue between all the films I’m trying to do at the moment is films that have something really important to say, and ‘Went Up the Hill’ is divisive,” Montgomery told People. “It’s not a movie that everyone will connect to, but the people that do connect to it, I hope, will find catharsis.”
Montgomery added, “And that’s why you make these movies, right? Because it only has to impact one person in the right way to work. And that’s really what I’m really trying to mine in my career, is being a part of projects like that.”
