"That was gross."

She has since apologised for her remarks.

Finn Wolfhard, better known to many as Mike from Stranger Things, had his say on the 27-year-old model who asked him to get in touch when he turns 18.

Speaking to TMZ, the 14-year-old had no time whatsoever for the offer, saying “That was nuts, that was gross. That’s good that she apologised. That was weird… but it’s fine.”

As for whether or not any of the girls at his school like him, Wolfhard said: “I don’t know because I’m hardly at school.”

27-year-old model Ali Michael posted a photograph of 14-year-old Finn Wolfhard to her Instagram story with the caption “Not to be weird but hit me up in 4 years.”

She has since apologised for her remarks.

In a statement to Teen Vogue, she wrote “The nature of my posts in response to television and media are always tongue-in-cheek and never intended to mislead or upset anyone. In the past, I have asked fictitious characters of films to call me (namely Edward Scissorhands and Simba from the Lion King).”

“In this instance, it has become clear to me that asking a character “to call in four years” and inappropriately tagging the underage actor who plays the character (Mike) was upsetting, suggestive and concerning for my audience.”
