Joe Keery Dresses as Steve Harrington for Friend's Wedding and Shares Behind-the-Scenes Details
Joe Keery, the actor best known for his role as Steve Harrington in Stranger Things, recently made headlines by dressing in his original Scoops Ahoy costume to officiate a friend's wedding. The wedding, between his bandmate Matt Williams and Veronica Capaldi, was a costume-themed event, with Keery encouraged to wear the iconic outfit by the bride. Keery explained on The Tonight Show that the costume was lent to him by the show's costume designer, Amy Parris, and that there are multiple costumes used on set. Despite having worn the outfit for over a year during filming, he noted it was tighter and less comfortable at the wedding. Keery also revealed that he had initially petitioned the show's creators, the Duffer Brothers, to alter his costume, but they insisted he keep the full look as part of his character's signature style. Keery's appearance in costume at the wedding went viral, with photos showing him marrying the couple alongside others in costumes, including Wes Toledo as the Riddler and a Shrek character. He emphasized that the wedding was a genuine celebration among friends, not a publicity stunt. Additionally, Keery discussed his ongoing role as Steve Harrington, which will return in Stranger Things Season 5, with episodes released in late 2025. The actor shared that the costume, which he wore for a significant part of his life during filming, was more uncomfortable during the wedding due to its tighter fit.
