Over the weekend, a surprising encounter took place at Fremantle Markets, leaving the owners of a local eatery momentarily speechless. The team behind Viet Kites, known for their popular bahn mi croissant, experienced a thrilling “heart attack” moment when Charlie Heaton, a star of the widely acclaimed series Stranger Things, queued up to place an order.
Owner Thuong Vu recounted the unexpected event, explaining how the bustling market atmosphere quickly shifted when they recognized the British actor. “He just queued up at my store and bought the chicken banh mi, and then we started asking him if he was the one from Stranger Things. And he said yes!” she revealed. Vu’s excitement was palpable as she shared how surreal it felt to have someone of Heaton’s fame visit their shop.
Despite the initial shock, the encounter was warm and friendly. Vu and her husband, Duy Bao, seized the opportunity to snap a photo with Heaton. After a minor hiccup with an eye-closed mishap in the first photo, Heaton graciously obliged for a second take, highlighting his approachable nature.
In addition to the delightful interaction, Vu took the chance to inquire about Heaton’s visit to Perth. He disclosed that he was in Western Australia for a filming project, sparking curiosity about his upcoming work. One of their customers speculated online that Heaton was involved in a new film titled Twice Over, which is currently in production in Perth. This romantic comedy features Australian actress Mia Wasikowska and revolves around a heartfelt reunion that unearths past emotions and uncertainties surrounding love and personal growth.
