The blind 'Stranger Things' fan who moved actor Joseph Quinn to tears speaks out

Joseph Quinn has seen a meteoric rise in celebrity since starring as Eddie Munson on "Stranger Things." Coming face-to-face with his fans at a meet-and-greet in London, though, he was overwhelmed by seeing firsthand just how much they all loved him.

Quinn appeared Saturday at the London Film and Comic Con, intending to shake his fans' hands and speak with them for a while. Due to an overwhelming number of attendees, though, security reportedly yelled at the 29-year-old for spending too much time with each fan, instructing him to shut up and move on so they could get through the line quicker.

"Joseph Quinn was so sweet with every visitor even though showmasters overbooked his photo sessions and the organization was poor overall," one person wrote on Twitter. "I just hope he won't go home feeling bad about this day, he tried to engage fans but security stopped him, sometimes very harshly."
