Has anyone considered this???

I think this child is both beautiful and adorable and in all honesty if anything were done for a continuation or to carry on the storyline of Goonies I think he would be so perfect in a part for that movie! As soon as I saw him in Stranger Things recently this was the very first thing that I thought of and if no one else can tell me in all honesty that this thought has never crossed their mind then I think that they would be lying! I loved the original movie Goonies and I would never in any way dishonor that movie by changing a single thing but with all of the talks of a sequel to that story with the children of the original Goonies couldn't anyone picture this as a possibility at all??? He reminds me so very much of the entire reason I fell in love with the movie and the story in the first place! And I mean nothing bad about him... In fact quite the opposite here... I adore his acting so very much! He is so sweet and genuine and I think he could pull off that part so well! Any thoughts???

OMG I was thinking the same having just watched the first episode of Stranger Things. The group have an amazing on screen chemistry reminding me of the friendship of the characters in Eerie Indiana. This character stands out along with the actress playing Eleven.

I thought the exact same thing, he reminded me so much of chunk, especially finding the chocolate pudding in the school. Just like chunk looking for ice cream.

I think he could play Corey Feldman's kid. He reminds
me of a more balanced/stable young Corey.
