Netflix fans can't get over Wednesday star Hunter Doohan's age after risqué scenes

Netflix fans are in awe after learning Wednesday star Hunter Doohan’s age following risqué scenes in the second season which see him mostly shirtless. The first half of the latest instalment of the phenomenally popular horror comedy series landed on the streaming platform on August 6, with many fans having already binged it.

The second half is expected to hit Netflix on September 3 and, much to many fans’ delight, the show has already been renewed for a third season. Fronted by the perfectly cast Jenna Ortega in the titular role, the series follows Wednesday Addams’ adventures at the gothic Nevermore Academy alongside a host of magical and mythical outcasts, each boasting quirky or fantastical powers.

This sees Wednesday in a setting with peers more likely to understand and accept her morbid and macabre nature, instead of her being the odd one out like past iterations of the character.

The first series followed a string of grisly murders, with Wednesday keen to identify the killer before learning her love interest, barista Tyler Galpin - played by Hunter Doohan - is behind them.

Tyler has returned in the second season and, though it’s assumed he’s around the same age as schoolgirl Wednesday, many fans have been stunned to learn the actor is in his thirties.

Hunter Doohan was born in 1994 and had a string of jobs while trying to make it as an actor in Los Angeles.

The star’s breakthrough role came in 2019, where he played the younger version of Aaron Paul’s character in the first season of Apple TV+’s Truth Be Told. In 2020, he starred opposite Paul’s Breaking Bad co-star and friend, Bryan Cranston, in the drama series, Your Honor.

His youthful appearance - and his muscular physique - in the second series of Wednesday has gained attention on social media.

On Reddit, one person shared a shirtless picture of the actor and simply penned: “Can we please talk about Hunter Doohan in the new season of Wednesday?”

In the comments section, one Netflix fan asked: “How old is he?”

Another replied: “I know he looks so young, but is 31 years old and he is married to his husband for 3 years!!”

A third said: “I genuinely looked up his age before I allowed myself to thirst! He looks AMAZING in this season of Wednesday.”

In another post about his age, one person said: “Thirty?! Never would have guessed,” while another agreed: “I never would have imagined him being 30."

In response to the shirtless photo of him, another Reddit user said: “I wasn’t interested in the new season until now lol."

And another said: “Just watched this scene and whistled out loud when I saw him shirtless."

Someone else confessed: “I was waiting for the whole season to be out to binge it... now not sure I [can] wait.”

Another added: “This one scene made me lose focus in my work.”

Wednesday is available to stream on Netflix.
