Meet Joseph Quinn, Doja Cat’s rumoured boyfriend: the Stranger Things star is taking on Hollywood with new roles in Gladiator II and the MCU – but will his character Eddie Munson return in Season 5?

The unanticipated revelation of her crush may have come as a nasty shock to Doja Cat, 28, who called Schnapp, now 19, a “weasel s***” on her TikTok live in retaliation. However, she since apologised and, two years later, it seems to have all worked out for her as she cuddles her new man in public.

So what do we know about the 30-year-old Quinn – and will his beloved Stranger Things character Eddie Munson be making a comeback in the next season? Here’s what we know.

Joseph Quinn is originally from London

According to L’Officiel, Quinn was raised in South London and attended a private school with a strong drama programme. Soon after, he pursued drama at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, graduating in 2015.

As the only child of separated parents, he says he had a pathological need for attention. “I was never a stage kid being taken to auditions from an early age, but I’d always been curious,” he told The Guardian. “It was the only thing I had any natural aptitude for.”

After graduating, he was cast in various smaller roles

According to L’Officiel, Quinn’s acting career took off when he landed a lead role in the 2015, BBC One series Dickensian, marking his professional debut.

Stranger Things brought him worldwide fame

Stranger Things changed his professional life in ways Quinn didn’t and couldn’t have imagined. In an interview with British GQ in 2022, he shared how, when he got the life-changing call from his agent in November 2019, he couldn’t believe it.

“He called me, like, ‘Who’s that?’ And I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ So he goes, ‘I’m sorry, is that Eddie from Stranger Things?’” Quinn recounted of how his agent broke the news. “I literally fell to my knees. ‘Like, What? Are you sure?’ It felt like it’d just fallen out of the f***ing sky.”

Will Eddie Munson return in season five of Stranger Things?

Quinn, who brought the beloved character to life in season four, hinted at a potential return during a chat with Entertainment Tonight. When a journalist said they had a feeling Munson may show up in the last season, Quinn playfully replied, “I might have that feeling, too. Or maybe I don’t. Who knows? I don’t know! Who knows? Maybe I do.”

He had an awkward interaction with Taylor Swift

Although he’s an up-and-coming Hollywood star, Quinn recently admitted he still feels awkward around other celebrities sometimes.
