In every season of Stranger Things, Noah Schnapp’s Will Byers always goes through a lot. In Season 4, his story centered primarily around his friendship with Mike, and there was speculation that Will was gay, and later it was confirmed. Following those episodes being released, the 18-year-old actor also came out as gay, and after announcing it on TikTok, Schnapp spoke about the sweet responses he recived from fans.
On January 5, Noah Schnapp posted a TikTok of himself lying on his pillow with a textbox above him saying, “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.’” He also lip-synced in the clip to a popular sound saying, “You know what it never was? That serious.” While speaking to Variety six months after coming out, he admitted he posted that video during the long drive home to New York after dropping his sister off at college in Boston, and he never looked at his phone for responses.
