Noah Schnapp Opened Up About Being A Gay On A TikTok Video – Bio, Net Worth, Age, Weight, Height, Relationships

On Thursday, January 5, 2023, a teenage celebrity named Noah Schnapp appeared in a TikTok video with the message:

“After 18 years of hiding in the closet, when I finally told my friends and family I was gay, all they said was ‘we know.’”

Schnapp is best known as Will Byers in the Netflix sci-fi horror thriller Stranger Things. In the video, the actor admits that he looks more like Will than he thought. Fans frequently assumed that Will’s character was gay and had feelings for his best friend Mike.

The actor and creators, the Duffer brothers, validated this notion subtextually in the most recent season and in separate interviews in July 2022.

As soon as the news broke, people took to Twitter to express their shock and joy, with the hashtags #NoahSchnappCameOut and #NoahSchnapp quickly trending. @llandrykonan commented:

“It wasn’t on my 2023 bingo card, but what a win,” said Noah Schnapp’s followers on Twitter.

Twitterati were thrilled with Noah Schnapp’s TikTok video and congratulated him. Many others praised Noah for “feeling confident enough to share” the news with everyone and expressed relief that he was able to do so “on his own terms.”

Others mentioned Noah’s fondness for Will Byers, as well as his delight that Noah was playing a gay character and highlighting the subtleties required for the role. Others were encouraged that someone from “the biggest show on television” was able to attend.

However, some replies resurfaced a bad joke among Stranger Things fans that Noah Schnapp’s Stranger Things co-star Millie Bobby Brown is homophobic. These people, however, were quickly rebuked, claiming that “the joke was never funny.”

What did Noah feel about Will Byers?

Following the release of the final two episodes of the season, Schnapp revealed to Variety that Will’s character is gay and in love with his best friend, Mike, played by Finn Wolfhard. He stated, “

“It was always there, but you never knew if it was just him maturing more slowly than his peers. Now that he’s older, they’ve made it very real and visible. He’s undeniably gay now and he adores Mike.”

Since the first season, fans have been questioning Will’s sexuality, but Noah and the filmmakers have avoided answering directly. Prior to his interview with Variety and the release of Season 4 Part One, the actor stated that the interpretation was up to the audience.

Noah stated that he did not want to reveal anything about the previous two episodes. According to the producers and Netflix, Stranger Things will end after season 5, which will focus on Will Byers. However, production has not yet begun.
