Even if you don’t know his name, you know his hair. Eduardo Franco is the man whose long, dark, shiny, healthy, and gorgeous hair women feel envious of when they see it. He’s also the actor from Stranger Things who is doing big things. If you haven’t seen his recent work, here’s everything you need to know about the actor with the great hair.
1. He is a 90s Kid
He was born and raised in the 90s, meaning his childhood was a little different to those born after him. He didn’t have a cellphone or access to social media growing up, and we imagine he – like the rest of us – is grateful for that. He is a man who has much to be proud of, and it shows. He was born on August 29th, 1994.
2. He’s from Arizona
His childhood was spent in the west. He grew up in Yuma, Arizona, which is not the most obvious choice for someone hoping to pursue a career in acting, but he made it work despite not being in a city renowned for the industry.
3. He’s Been in Everything
While he is most famous for his role in Stranger Things in 2022, he’s had a wide range of roles. From Queenpins in 2021 to American Vandal to Gabby’s Dollhouse, he’s been everywhere. His name isn’t quite household yet, but it will be soon.
4. He is Funny
People seem to love him most for his humor. He is funny and has a lot to offer, making big things happen. People take notice of him because he is able to make them laugh, and many of his roles so far have been comedic.
5. His Parents Worked Hard
Growing up, he was from a secure middle-class family. His mother was a homemaker who stayed home to raise the kids and take care of their home, and his father was a businessman. He observed his family work hard and make things happen, and he always knew that dedication was essential to success.
6. He Respects His Parents
One thing that he did as a kid was to show respect for his parents and the effort they put into his life. He recalls being a young person who got a job at a movie theater; his first job, and he was extremely excited about it. His plan was to save up his money and use it to purchase a car for himself, however this did not come to fruition. He remembers that his parents provided him with everything and that he wanted to give the money to them to help pay their bills, instead of buying a car.
7. His Parents Supported His Dream
He wanted to be an actor, and his parents wholeheartedly supported that. Although they were unable to provide financial support when he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream, they did support him in all the ways that mattered. He was aware that he had their love and respect, and he also knew it would be difficult without the financial aspect of being able to go. But he did it.
8. His Aunt Does His Hair
Growing up, his hair was always kept in immaculate condition by his aunt who owns a salon in Mexico just over the Arizona border. He would go to her for his stylish haircuts and regular maintenance. He is renowned for having long, dark locks, and we can say with certainty that we are all envious of his stunning hair.
9. He’s a Private Man
He grew up understanding that privacy is of the utmost importance. Even as an established actor, he is happy to share details about his life, his family, his history, and his jobs, but he prefers to keep his personal life to himself. There is something admirable about someone who is famous yet chooses to maintain certain aspects of their life as private.
10. He’s So Close to His Family
He often talks about the strong support and love his family gives him, and he is incredibly close with his mother and father. He says the most meaningful thing in his life is when he picks up the phone and his mom and dad are on the other end, telling him they love him and wishing him luck on his auditions and endeavors. They are so close.
