Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp has come out as gay in a new TikTok video.

The 18-year-old actor has shared his coming out experience with followers on TikTok and the comments section is full of support.

In the video Noah wrote, “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,” while the caption read, “I guess I’m more similar to Will than I thought.” Noah also mouthed the words, “You know what it never was, that serious, it was never that serious, quite frankly, it will never be that serious.”

“Will” is Noah’s character on the hit Netflix show Stranger Things, who he has played since 2016. Although it has not been stated in the show that Will is gay, Noah has previously shared his hopes that his character can have a coming out scene in the show’s final season.

The fifth and final season of the show has not yet started filming, so fans will have a bit to wait before they find out what will happen to the cast in the end of the show. Netflix has released a teaser image of the script for next season with the title of episode one being called “Chapter one: The Crawl”.

It’s likely that the show won’t be airing until 2024 as according to Seventeen.com they haven’t started filming it yet!
