- He already played the guitar before the scene of his character Eddie Munson playing Metallica's "Master of Puppets" in Chapter Nine: The Piggyback (2022), but he still bought a guitar and practiced on it for months before filming the scene.
- Attended drama school at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, where he graduated in 2015.
- Speaks Italian.
- He does most of the part on his guitar solo in Stranger Things, but the close up of Eddie's fingers is played by Aiden Fisher.
- Attended and graduated from the Emanuel School (2012).
- [On an Interview with The Liverpool Echo. Telling the story about how his mom told her sisters he got the Stranger Things role] When my mum called them and told them I've got this Stranger Things job, my auntie went mental and my mum went 'oh, so it's a big deal then, is it?' and she was like 'are you messing?
- I spent my childhood going up to West Derby and I still see them whenever I can. I've got some lovely history up in Liverpool and it's an amazing city.
- [about his secret skill] Secret skill... I feel I'm a pretty decent chef. Nothing crazy, but I could surprise someone with a good meal.
- [about his guitar solo in Stranger Things] Well, I've been playing guitars since I was a kid, fortunately, but by no means have I kept it up the whole time. But it meant that I had the foundations there, but yeah, I went away and learned it. I'm an actor. I'm not a heavy metal guitarist. So I let this brilliant guitarist, Aiden (Fisher), take care of the more complex fingering. And then yes, I did the rest of it.
- [about family] I was an only child of separated parents, which breeds a pathological need for attention.
