When making its highly anticipated return to Netflix on Oct. 27, Stranger Things introduced quite a few new faces into the fold of its Season 2 comeback. It seems that fans were notably engaged by the entrance of the Billy, the hot-headed neighborhood bully. Although the character's personality makes him quite difficult to like, seeing what Billy from Stranger Things looks like IRL could certainly prove to change your mind.

On screen, the character, portrayed by actor Dacre Montgomery, is a mean-spirited, speed demon who often viciously lashes out at whomever gets in his way. With his mullet-rocking, '80s-centric looks, Billy (though a tad bit appealing in a throwback Rob Lowe-ish kind of way) remains a stark contrast from real-life hotness that is Montgomery. Before his stint on Stranger Things, the Australian 22-year-old entertainer was most notably known as Jason, aka the Red Ranger from this year's Power Rangers reboot, a role which earned him a Teen Choice Awards nomination in 2017.

Whether you're familiar with the actor or not, a quick glimpse at some of his snapshots will give you a million reasons to keep your fingers crossed that Billy will return as the guy you love to hate for Stranger Things for Season 3 — and beyond.

Billy The Badass

Doubled down in denim, Montgomery in the role of Billy is something that may have worked in the '80s, but in this decade... not so much. It's, of course, hard to deny that there is some somewhat of an underlying handsome quality to Billy's look. However the hair, the mustache — and just about everything else needs to go, so that fans have the opportunity to capture the authentic essence of Montgomery and his true potential as a Hollywood heartthrob.
