* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Despite playing ''TheBully'' Billy Hargrove, Dacre is known to be incredibly nice in real life. In interviews he's frequently spoken about his love for writing poetry, interior design, and lighting, the complete opposite of his Stranger Things character. He's also said Billy is the furthest character from him personality wise.
* MrFanservice: Partly why Billy Hargrove is so popular.
* NiceGuy: Dacre has said multiple times that whilst filming difficult scenes during Stranger Things (especially in Season 3), he always explained what he was going to do to his co-stars, to ensure they were both aware of and comfortable with what he was doing. He also took time to calm Millie down after their scenes together, promising he wasn't going to hurt her and that it wasn't real.

* ActorInspiredElement: The addition of [[spoiler: Billy's abusive father and his mother leaving him]] was Dacre's request, in an attempt to humanise him and add depth to him. Dacre has been very open about being bullied when he was at school for being FormerlyFat, but has stated that as he got older, he realised those who bullied him probably didn't have good, stable home lives, causing them to lash out against others. This inspired him to add this to Billy's background.
