The character graph of Will Byers, played by Millie Bobby Brown, aka Eleven’s best friend, had been the talk of Stranger Things. Noah Schnapp, who plays the character, will eventually come out as gay in the Netflix series, it was recently reported. As the actor has come out of the closet, it appears that he is certainly extremely similar to his screen persona.
Noah first addressed the rumours around the sexual orientation of his Stranger Things character in July of last year. He later admitted that Will will eventually come out as gay but that he had been frightened of doing so for years. Furthermore, it was shown that he loves Mike.
In the most recent development, Noah Schnapp revealed his sexual orientation on his TikTok account. In a video he posted, he can be seen singing, “You know what it never was? That grave. Never was it that serious. In all honesty, it won’t ever be that serious.
The text on his video read, “When I finally told my friends and family I was gay after being scared in the closet for 18 years and all they said was ‘we know'”
In his announcement’s conclusion, Noah Schnapp drew a parallel between everything and his Will Byers character from Stranger Things. “I guess I’m more similar to Will than I imagined,” he wrote as the caption for his post.
It is widely known that Noah and Millie Bobby Brown, the show’s star, get along nicely. The two frequently exchange photos and videos. At first, there were rumours that the two were dating, but they later emphasised that they were just close friends.
Well, we’re happy for Noah Schnapp!
