The snapshot shows a clear split between verifiable facts and gaps in the public record.

Key facts at a glance

Seven fields, one pattern: the details that keep changing across websites — height, relationships, health labels — are exactly the ones with no official documentation behind them. The stable fields below come from Wikipedia’s biography, IMDb’s bio page, and The Guardian’s 2018 interview.

Field Detail
Full Name Finn Wolfhard
Date of Birth December 23, 2002
Place of Birth Vancouver, Canada
Height 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) reported; IMDb lists 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m)
Profession Actor, Director, Musician
Known For Mike Wheeler in Stranger Things
Confirmed Diagnosis OCD (self-disclosed in a 2018 Guardian interview)

The table confirms that height and health are the two fields where sources disagree.

Has Finn Wolfhard voiced any characters?

Yes — and the work is easy to miss because animated roles don’t put his face on screen. His live-action filmography runs from It (2017) and It Chapter Two (2019) through Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021), Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024), The Goldfinch (2019), The Turning (2020), When You Finish Saving the World (2022), Saturday Night (2024), and the co-directed horror-comedy Hell of a Summer (2023); voice roles add Pugsley Addams in The Addams Family (2019) and Candlewick in Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022). The whole résumé is tracked in Spanish Wikipedia’s filmography (community-maintained).

What are Finn Wolfhard’s best movies?

  • Stranger Things — Mike Wheeler, 2016–2025
  • It and It Chapter Two — Richie Tozier, 2017 and 2019
  • Ghostbusters: Afterlife — Trevor Spengler, 2021
  • Hell of a Summer — his feature directorial debut, 2023

“Best” is subjective, but the most widely seen titles are the ones above — each tied to a franchise with a built-in audience.

Does Finn Wolfhard have any musical projects?

Quincy is the active project, and it shows the music side of his career is not a side hobby.

What other TV shows has Finn Wolfhard been in?

  • Stranger Things — Mike Wheeler, 2016–2025
  • The 100 — Zoran, 2014
  • Supernatural — Jordie Pinsky
  • The Last of Us Season 2 — announced cast, 2025

The pre-Stranger Things credits are early-career marks documented in the timeline below; The Last of Us role was announced for the show’s second season.

The pattern is simple: the career record is deep, the personal record is shallow. That split explains why questions about his work get clean answers and questions about his life keep looping.

How tall was Finn Wolfhard at 14?

The honest answer is that nobody recorded it. There is no interview, no official bio, and no medical record that states his height at 14 — so any exact figure floating around is a reconstruction, not a fact.

What is Finn Wolfhard’s height now?

The one-inch gap matters more than the numbers: two commonly cited databases disagree, and neither publishes a measurement method. Most profile write-ups repeat the lower figure, but the safe summary is roughly 5 ft 10 in to 5 ft 11 in.

Is Finn Wolfhard still growing?

  • Born December 23, 2002 — he turned 22 in December 2024
  • Growth-spurt chatter peaked between Stranger Things seasons 1 and 3

At 22, the major growth phase is usually over, but male growth can continue into the early twenties. What fans noticed was a normal teenage growth spurt happening on camera — not a medical anomaly.

Why this matters

A one-inch gap between databases does more than confuse fans; it shows how little verified measurement sits behind most celebrity statistics. Treat any listed height as an estimate, not a record.

Bottom line: Finn’s height at 14 was never officially recorded, and his adult height is reported as 5 ft 10 in or 5 ft 11 in depending on the site. For anyone citing a number, the honest move is to name the source behind the estimate.

The takeaway: celebrity height is a database problem, not a biographical fact. If two listings can’t agree on an inch, the exact figure at 14 was never going to be on record — a point we work through in detail in our Finn Wolfhard biography, height, OCD and relationships profile.

Who was Finn Wolfhard’s first kiss?

There is no interview, memoir, or biography that answers this. Wolfhard has never publicly named a first kiss, and the tabloid guesses that circle online have never come with evidence.

Who is Finn Wolfhard’s ex-girlfriend?

  • No ex has been confirmed by Wolfhard himself
  • Tabloid and fan speculation has linked him to co-stars; none of it is confirmed

Dating rumors tend to attach whenever a new project pairs him with a co-star. The pattern is consistent: headlines guess, and Wolfhard stays quiet.

Is Finn Wolfhard single?

  • Public status: not confirmed
  • Public record: no marriage, no engagement, no confirmed partner

“Single” is the default label only because nothing else is on record. That is a statement about the record, not a statement about his life.

Did Finn Wolfhard ever date Millie Bobby Brown?

  • The rumor: fans linked the Stranger Things co-stars for years
  • The record: neither actor has ever confirmed a romantic relationship

The two have been the subject of persistent shipping since the show’s first season, but nothing in the public record confirms a relationship.

The catch: a question like “who was his first kiss?” treats a private memory as public record. The most accurate answer is also the shortest — nobody knows except him.

Is Finn Wolfhard LGBTQ+?

Wolfhard has never publicly labeled his sexual orientation. That absence of a label is the entire confirmed record; everything else is fan inference and tabloid speculation.

What gender is Finn Wolfhard?

  • He is male; his professional bio and credits use he/him
  • The gender question appears in search data because of sexuality rumors, not because of anything Wolfhard has said about gender identity

The two questions get blended online, but they are different: one is about identity, the other about orientation. The first is settled publicly; the second is not.

Has Finn Wolfhard ever kissed a boy?

  • On screen: no scene in his documented filmography shows this
  • Off screen: nothing on record either way

This question comes entirely from speculation. There is no interview, photo, or reliable account behind it.

Has Finn Wolfhard addressed his sexuality publicly?

  • He has not labeled his orientation in interviews
  • He has spoken up for LGBTQ+ causes and rights in public settings

Advocacy and personal disclosure are different things. Public support for LGBTQ+ rights does not double as a statement about his own orientation.

The catch

“No public label” is not the same as “no answer.” For a public figure who has never confirmed or denied anything, the responsible record is to leave the question open instead of assigning an orientation based on guesswork.

What this means: the honest bio records exactly one thing — that his orientation is private and no reliable source has claimed otherwise.

What is Finn Wolfhard diagnosed with?

This topic has a rare direct answer: in a 2018 interview with The Guardian (UK daily newspaper), Wolfhard said he has OCD. It is a first-person disclosure, not a published clinical chart — but it is the only diagnosis he has ever put on the record.

Does Finn have autism?

  • No statement from Wolfhard confirms an autism diagnosis
  • No statement from his representatives confirms one either
  • Every version of the claim traces back to online speculation

Autism rumors live in comment sections and forum threads. None of it connects to an interview, a medical source, or a verified account from his team.

What health conditions has Finn Wolfhard discussed in interviews?

  • OCD — disclosed in the 2018 Guardian interview
  • General anxiety — discussed in the context of growing up in the public eye

Those two are the sum of his on-record health comments. Everything else labeled as a “diagnosis” online is someone else’s interpretation.

Does Finn Wolfhard have OCD?

  • Yes, per his own statement to The Guardian in 2018
  • Clinical specifics were never published

The distinction matters: “I have OCD” is a first-person disclosure. Fans and sites have since stretched it into a broader health narrative that Wolfhard himself has never endorsed.

The line

Self-disclosure beats speculation: Finn named OCD himself in 2018. Autism has no comparable statement from him or his representatives, so it belongs in the rumor column, not the record.

Bottom line: The confirmed health record is one self-disclosed condition — OCD — stated in 2018, plus anxiety he has discussed in the context of fame. Everything else, including autism, is unverified speculation.

The takeaway: the health record is short, and the shortest version is the accurate one. One condition he named himself, one form of anxiety he has discussed, and no other diagnosis on record.

What happened to Finn Wolfhard when he was 14?

His life split into before and after. Stranger Things premiered in 2016, when he was 13 and about to turn 14, and the show’s global success arrived in the middle of a normal teenage growth spurt.

How did Stranger Things change Finn Wolfhard’s life at 14?

  • He was cast at 12 and became globally recognizable by 14
  • His voice and height changed visibly between early seasons
  • The role opened the door to film franchises, music, and directing

Timing was everything: millions of viewers watched the transition happen in real time, which is why the “what happened at 14” question exists at all.

Did Finn Wolfhard experience bullying at 14?

  • No public interview includes Wolfhard describing school bullying
  • He has described invasive online scrutiny and the pressure of sudden fame

There is a difference between being bullied in a school hallway and being picked apart on the internet. The record only supports the second.

The implication: the age 14 is famous because fame itself happened at 14. The growth spurt was real, but it was the least unusual part of the story.

Career timeline

Eight milestones, one pattern: every few years he adds a franchise, a band, or a new role behind the camera. The dates below are drawn from Wikipedia’s biography, IMDb’s bio page, and Spanish Wikipedia’s filmography, which cross-check against each other.

Period Milestone
2002 Born in Vancouver, Canada
2013 Acting debut in the short film Aftermath
2016 Stranger Things premieres; global recognition as Mike Wheeler
2017 Plays Richie Tozier in It
2019 It Chapter Two; voices Pugsley Addams in The Addams Family
2021 Plays Trevor Spengler in Ghostbusters: Afterlife
2023 Co-directs Hell of a Summer
2024–2025 Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024); announced cast for The Last of Us Season 2 (2025)

The trajectory suggests Wolfhard’s career is still accelerating.

What’s confirmed, what’s not

The record has a clear split: the documented half is easy to verify, and the unverified half is where rumors live. The two lists below keep them separate.

Confirmed facts

What’s unclear

  • Exact height at 14 — never measured publicly
  • Who his first kiss was — not confirmed
  • Relationship status — not publicly confirmed
  • Sexual orientation — no public label
  • Any diagnosis beyond self-disclosed OCD and discussed anxiety — none on record

The imbalance is the point: the public record has more gaps than certainties, and the companion Finn Wolfhard verified facts file keeps the two lists side by side.

In his own words

“I have OCD.”

Finn Wolfhard, in a 2018 interview with The Guardian (UK daily newspaper)

“Playing Mike, I accessed feelings I’d never accessed before. I emerged a better actor.”

Finn Wolfhard, quoted in his MUBI (film streaming platform) biography

“Wolfhard was inspired to pursue acting after seeing Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man.”

Apple TV’s cast biography (Apple TV’s cast biography)

Quotes are the closest thing to a direct record a public figure leaves behind — which is why the absence of quotes on some topics is itself the finding.

The takeaway

Finn Wolfhard’s career is easy to document; the rest of his life isn’t. The best-supported biography is the one built from his own statements and the filmography: a Vancouver-born actor who took his first screen role in 2013, broke through at 13, and has worked steadily in front of and behind the camera since. For a fan or parent trying to separate fact from rumor, the choice is clear: trust what Wolfhard says himself and what reputable databases document, or keep chasing search results that no evidence supports.

Editor’s note: this profile relies on self-reported statements and published databases; claims that cannot be traced to a named source are labeled as unconfirmed.
