The blind ‘Stranger Things’ fan who moved actor Joseph Quinn to tears speaks out

Joseph Quinn has seen a meteoric rise in celebrity since starring as Eddie Munson on “Stranger Things.” Coming face-to-face with his fans at a meet-and-greet in London, though, he was overwhelmed by seeing firsthand just how much they all loved him. “Joseph Quinn was so sweet with every visitor even though showmasters overbooked his photo sessions and the organization was poor overall,” one person wrote on Twitter. “I just hope he won’t go home feeling bad about this day, he tried to engage fans but security stopped him, sometimes very harshly.” During a Q&A the next day, one fan named Kimberley Burrows was moved to thank the British actor for how he handled the incident. “I think we’ve all really connected with Eddie for one reason or another.” Quinn could be seen visibly tearing up throughout Burrows’ speech, while the crowd sniffled at his visible emotion. Although they didn’t get much time to speak, the 33-year-old said Quinn was “extremely gracious and attentive,” even taking a photo with her and the dog.
