Stranger Things actor Noah Schnapp has come out as gay. On Thursday, he shared a video on TikTok to inform his fans. For the unversed, Noah plays the role of Will Byers, a closeted gay teenager, in Netflix's highly-acclaimed series. 

In the video, Noah said, "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'. You know what it never was? That serious. It was never that serious. Quite frankly, will never be that serious."
