The American actor Noah Schnapp, the interpreter of Will Byers in the series Strange things, It’s coming out. The 18-year-old artist reveals his homosexuality through a humorous TikTok posted on Thursday night.
The young actor films himself there in full playback to the sound of another voice, saying, “It was never as important as that. Honestly, it’s never going to be as important as that.”
“I look more like Will than I thought”
In the title of the video, the text says that it is necessary to specify the context: “When I finally told my friends and my family that I was gay after I passed 18 years of age in the closet and what I simply replied to ‘we know'”,
And to evoke, in the legend, the character who made him famous: “Obviously, I look more like Will than I thought.” For several seasons, fans of Strange things speculated about Will Byers’ sexual orientation. After several years of rumors and timid script clues, Noah Schnapp confirmed what many had understood in the columns of variety Last July:
“It was suggested from season 1: it’s always been there but it was never safe (…) Now that he’s older (the writers) have made it very true and safe. Now he’s 100% clear that he’s gay and in love with Mike (played by Finn Wolfhard, editor’s note)”.
Noah Schnapp was 11 years old when he was filming the first season of Strange things. The series is a phenomenal hit on Netflix that has never been denied. The show’s fourth season, released last May, got off to the best start in the platform’s history for an English-language series (but has since been dethroned by Wednesday). A fifth and final season has been announced.
