Actor Noah Schnapp joked he's more like his "Stranger Things" character Will Byers than he thought after posting a TikTok sharing he is gay.

In the fourth season, Will feels left out when Mike visits Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and primarily focuses on his romantic relationship with her. Will's sexuality has been a topic of discussion with fans since "Stranger Things" premiered in 2016. They are writing this real character and this real journey and real struggle and they’re doing it so well," Schnapp said. Speaking to Variety in an interview published last July, Schnapp said that producers Matt and Ross Duffers have implied that Will is gay since the first season. That is exactly who I was when I was a kid.' That just made me so happy to hear. "Oh my God," he yells while clutching the sides of his head in fake shock.

La scène où il déclare, dans un double discours, son amour à son ami Will pendant un road-trip a marqué les spectateurs et rendu clair les sentiments et le tiraillement intérieur du personnage de Will. En effet, le personnage de Stranger Things qu'il incarne désormais depuis des années est, lui aussi, homosexuel. Noah Schnapp semble confier par ce montage qu'il s'était peut-être inquiété de révéler son orientation sexuelle alors qu'elle ne représentait plus une surprise (et encore moins un problème) pour son entourage.
