Fresh off a weekend of meeting fans at Rhode Island Comic Con, Brooklyn Davey Norstedt celebrated the only way that really made sense: with a takeout box of cheese fries and her own voice coming back at her. Norstedt voices Eleven in Netflix’s animated series Stranger Things: Tales from ’85, and on Monday she posted a short TikTok of herself eating cheese fries while lip-syncing one of her own scenes.
The video runs just eight seconds. Norstedt mouths along to the show’s official audio, credited on TikTok as “original sound – Stranger Things,” working her way through the box as the scene plays out. In her caption, she thanked everyone who came to see her at the convention, then admitted the real motivation behind the snack: “Mostly got cheese fries to make this Tiktok but they genuinely were delicious.”
Here is Norstedt taking on her own scene, fries in hand:
The audio comes from Season 1, Episode 3, “Evolution,” an arcade scene where Lucas buys cheese fries for Eleven to try. She is an instant convert. “These are so delicious,” Eleven decides, before turning the tables on Dustin: “Hey, dude, if you like those, wait until you try chili cheese fries.” Netflix released the scene as an official clip titled “Cheese Fries” when the series arrived in April, and the audio has since taken on a life of its own as a sound fans use on TikTok. This week, the voice of Eleven used it herself.
It is the kind of thing Norstedt does often. She is a constant, cheerful presence on TikTok, where she embraces being the voice of Eleven and is fantastic with the fans who find her there, and the Comic Con weekend that produced the video is more of the same. None of it is an act for her. Norstedt was a lifelong Stranger Things superfan long before she was part of it, landing the role of Eleven in May 2023 ahead of the series premiere on April 23, 2026. Tales from ’85 is set between Seasons 2 and 3 of the main series, and readers can meet her in our introduction to her casting from April. She is already set to return, too, with Season 2 on the way, so there should be plenty more moments like this one, cheese fries very much included.
