NO SPOILERS ARE HERE THOUGH.

Dacre Montgomery plays bad boy heartbreaker, Billy Hargrove, on the show. He’s the one who made Season 2 so rollercoaster-y, and Season 3 even more so.
But, in a recent Instagram post, Montgomery shares a cute high school pic and a personal, touching story showing his teenage self doesn’t quite live up to his Stranger Things character, Hargrove.

Montgomery also posted his story to Twitter.
His fans responded big…
