"Not to be too dramatic, but it's unlikely that Finn Wolfhard would be where he is today without the work of George Harrison. "I wouldn't have pursued performing at a young age in the same way," he says. First introduced to Harrison's music at the age of 6 by his mother, Wolfhard was encouraged to dig deeper beyond the constant loops of Help! from his family's CD player - his favorite song is "I Need You" - and discovered that the Beatles also dabbled as actors."
"Wolfhard is now finding himself at a similar divergent point, but instead of Let It Be,it's the conclusion of his popular Netflix series, Stranger Things.(Which he's thrilled not to talk about for a change. "This is a relief," he quips at one point. "I'd rather talk about George all day.") As his first project released amid a hailstorm of theories about the show's impending finale, Wolfhard directed the official music video for Harrison's 1973 song "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)"."
Finn Wolfhard credits George Harrison with inspiring his early pursuit of performing after his mother introduced him to Harrison's music at age six. Wolfhard favored "I Need You" and explored beyond repeated plays of Help!, discovering that the Beatles also acted and imagining a combined path of acting and music. Wolfhard cites Harrison as an example of expanding artistic identity, achieving much as a solo artist and after the Beatles. Amid Stranger Things' conclusion, Wolfhard directed the official video for Harrison's 1973 song "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" after meeting Dhani Harrison on the Ghostbusters set and visiting Friar Park.
