The Stranger Things’ actor Charlie Heaton was was denied access to the US and missed the second season premiere because traces of cocaine were found in his luggage. The 23-year-old, who plays Jonathan Byers on the hit Netflix show, was not arrested, but was reportedly permitted to withdraw his application to enter the country and was sent back to London, reports DailyMail.co.uk.
It is also now feared that Charlie could be barred from entering the US in future, meaning he could struggle to take part in filming for Stranger Things. A source claimed, “He was not arrested. He was held at the airport for a while and then put back on a plane to London that night. If you are a foreign national and it is a large amount of drugs you may be charged. But if it is personal use, the consequences are that you will not be allowed into the country. US law is very strict on this.”
