"I wish I could 'like' this a million times."

Even Lin-Manuel Miranda is a fan of Netflix's Stranger Things.

The Hamilton creator showed love for the buzzy series on his Twitter account early Thursday when he tweeted an uplifting message for his followers, accompanied by a GIF of a beaming Gaten Matarazzo: "Good morning. Your smile is worth a fortune, and yours to spend as you wish."

The 14-year-old Stranger Things star couldn't contain his excitement over Miranda's shout-out, tweeting back, "OMG, I just died! Thanks man." The Twitter exchange continued as Miranda showered the child actor with compliments, "No, you LIVED! YOU'RE SO GOOD!" to which Matarazzo replied, "I wish I could 'like' this a million times."

Miranda, who posts a message of encouragement for his Twitter followers at the start and end of each day, also signed off for Thursday with another Stranger Things GIF, featuring an ecstatic Matarazzo.
