Joe Keery, best known for his role as Steve Harrington in Netflix's Stranger Things, has been the subject of a persistent online rumour claiming he was once a member of pop band Maroon 5. The claim continues to resurface across social media platforms including TikTok, Reddit and X, often presented as a surprising or little-known detail about the actor's past.
Despite its popularity online, the suggestion has no factual basis. Keery has never been affiliated with Maroon 5, and there is no record of him appearing in the band's line-up, recordings or touring history. Music journalists and official band records have repeatedly contradicted the claim.
