"Hey everybody! I do not want to be a fan of my friends, or co-workers, "he wrote on Twitter Wednesday.
" Ya'll know who you are. Why I even have to tweet that, I do not know. Anyone who calls themselves a 'fan' and actively goes after someone for literally acting and doing their job is ridiculous, "he added. "Think b4 ya type boiiii."
The replies were full of praise for Wolfhard, with many followers left wondering why people would harass the stars of a show they claim to love in the first place.
You're doing ur job and making us happy by filming all of these shows / movies, and what do some people do back? harrass / attack you guys. not okay! people need to understand that you guys are jet-lagged and have hours of press. Nora (@ughwheeler) November 9, 2017
I have so much respect for you especially right now. Young actors or any actor should never deal with the harassment y'all have dealt with. True fan here to stay
