Stranger Things’ Charlie Heaton Spotted at Fremantle Markets
Over the weekend, Fremantle markets saw a surprising visitor that left one stall feeling starstruck. Charlie Heaton, the British actor known for his role in Stranger Things , was spotted queuing up at Viet Kites, a local favourite famous for its viral banh mi croissant. The store, which has been serving up delicious Vietnamese sandwiches for six years, got an unexpected dose of excitement when Heaton casually joined the line.

Thuong Vu, one of the owners, described the moment as a bit of a “heart attack.” She recalled being stunned when the actor approached the counter and ordered a chicken banh mi. “We started asking him, ‘Are you from Stranger Things ?’ and he said yes,” she shared. The surprise quickly turned into delight, as the team realized someone of his fame was standing right in front of them, patiently waiting for a sandwich like any other customer.
The encounter didn’t end with just an order. Thuong and her husband, Duy Bao, asked if they could snap a photo with Heaton outside the store. Friendly and approachable, he happily agreed—even posing for a second shot after a minor mishap with eyes closed in the first photo. The owners were thrilled, capturing a memorable moment with a Hollywood star in their humble market stall.
Fans quickly speculated on social media why Heaton was in Western Australia, and it turns out the visit wasn’t purely for leisure. Heaton is in the area working on a new film project, the romantic comedy Twice Over , alongside Mia Wasikowska. Set in Fremantle, the film explores an unexpected reunion between two people that stirs long-buried emotions and questions of love, time, and reinvention. The production also features a strong local cast, including Jennah Bannear, Georgia Wilkinson-Derums, Clarence Ryan, and Austen Wilmot.
For locals and tourists alike, the sighting added a touch of glamour to the weekend markets. It was a rare and delightful reminder that even big stars enjoy the simple pleasures of life—like queuing for a favourite sandwich. Viet Kites, already beloved for its innovative banh mi creations, now has a story that will likely be retold for years: the day Charlie Heaton stopped by for a chicken banh mi and proved that even Stranger Things stars appreciate good food and good company.
This charming encounter has left both fans and market-goers buzzing, blending the worlds of Hollywood and local life in a moment that felt delightfully ordinary yet unforgettable.
