Aegon II made his debut in this week’s episode of House of the Dragon, and everybody’s saying the same thing: he really looks like Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard.
In House of the Dragon Episode 6, we meet Aegon II and Aemond Targaryen for the first time, the sons of King Viserys I and Alicent, along with their sister, Helaena.
Aegon II is the first-born son of the ruling couple, and could be in line for the throne if Rhaenyra’s succession doesn’t go to plan. She also has children with Laenor Velaryon, so there’s competition when it comes to the next heir.
While there’s been several reactions to Episode 6, whether it’s the recast or everything that happens to Harwin Strong, fans are all making the same comparison with Aegon II: he’s the spitting image of Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike Wheeler in Stranger Things.
Aegon II compared to Finn Wolfhard by House of the Dragon fans
Firstly, Finn Wolfhard doesn’t play Aegon II – in Episode 6, he’s portrayed by Ty Tennant, the son of David Tennant. In later episodes, the character will be played by Tom Glynn-Carney.
Still, the young actors share an undeniable likeness, as pointed out by several viewers on Twitter.
