Billy Hargrove is the newest bully on the block that appears in the second season of Netflix’s Stranger Things. He moved to Hawkins from California along with his sister Max Hargrove, but he’s not too happy about it. He’s the new guy with the long hair that all the guys want to be like and girls want to date.

To recreate Billy's facial features, consider using makeup or temporary tattoos to mimic his distinctive mustache and a hint of a beard. Apply bronzer or contour to achieve a sun-kissed, chiseled look. For the hair, you can use hair gel or mousse to create a messy, curly mullet-style.

Billy is known for his aggressive and unpredictable behavior, with memorable quotes such as "You're dead, Sinclair. You're dead!" and "Stay away from him, Max.

About Billy Hargrove
Billy Hargrove is the step-sibling to Maxine Hargrove. While Max appears to be brave and loyal to her friends, Billy has the opposite appeal. He has a way about him that implies he has a darker side. There are even rumors going around Hawkins High School that he killed someone in California. Maybe that’s why he and his family had to move to Hawkins, Indiana in the second season of Netflix’s Stranger Things.
Billy is a bully, and his prey is usually the younger kids at school. Even though Max is technically his sibling, Billy hates it when anyone refers to her as his sister. He hates her and likes to control her. His violent personality pushes people away, but he also has a captivating side that makes people believe his lies and thinks he’s innocent when he’s the one up to no good.
