Noah feels closer to Will’s character…

Noah Schnapp, 18, praised for his outstanding performance as Will Byers in ‘Stanger Things’, has made his sexual orientation completely clear. Noah Schnapp revealed his sexual orientation in a touching TikTok video to his 31.4 million fans on Thursday (Jan. 5). He stated on his egocentric tape, “When I finally told my friends and family I was gay after hiding out of fear for 18 years, all they said was ‘we know’.”

In the short video, which lasted just eight seconds, Noah Schnapp could be heard imitating a woman saying, “You know what it never was? That grave. It was never this serious. Frankly, it will never be that serious.

What makes this humorous video intriguing is the caption. “I think I’m more like Will than I imagined,” Noah said in the post.

If you recall, Noah sparked rumors in July 2022 when he revealed that his character Will Byers is part of the LGBTQIA+ group in an interview about the character. He adores Mike and is gay.

“Is it just that he’s growing up slower than his friends?” It was there all the time, but you never really knew it,” I asked. As mentioned by Schnapp in the interview. “Now that he’s older, they’ve made it seem very sincere and clear. The fact that he is gay and that he loves Mike is now undeniable. The way Noah said it reminded him of him. And here he is, honest and proud of who he really is.

How do fans react?

Noah Schnapp’s devoted following have accepted him regardless of his sexual orientation. “I’m very happy for you ‘We love you’,” ‘Slay’, ‘NOAH UR ICONIC’, ‘Don’t you come out for you AND Will’, ‘Welcome 3’, ‘SO HAPPY FOR YOU’, ‘THE SCREAM I JUST LET OUT,” “KILLED” and “Don’t you come out for you AND Will,” one ecstatic fan wrote.

“Can we all appreciate that Noah just came to the whole world and recognize how much courage it takes to do that when you’re a literal superstar,” said one complimentary. One admirer said, “I might have that courage one of these days,” to express how inspired by Noah’s courage he is. Well, some people are completely shocked by this news, while others have known about it from somewhere.

Schnapp discussed the development of his on-screen character Will Byers as he dealt with his own identity in an earlier interview. It seemed as if Noah was telling his own story. “In my opinion, it’s all just part of the challenges of acting. Yes, it was hard, but I think it was also fun to put myself in his position. Because this isn’t just a one-layer problem that he’s struggling to get out of, I really need to think about it,” Noah said.

The fifth and final season of the hit Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’ is going to be huge and dramatic. Fans can expect something major in the plot as the series nears its end. The release trailer and track of the final season are currently unavailable. Your opinion about Noah Schnapp is welcome. Millie Bobby Brown must be in excruciating pain right now.
