Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp has come out as gay.

The 18 year old actor who rose to fame starring alongside Winona Ryder, Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour in the Netflix hit, confirmed the news on his TikTok account yesterday (January 5).

"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'", Schnapp wrote.

Schnapp who plays Will Byers in the show, had already revealed that his character was gay and in love with his best friend Mike, played by Finn Wolfhard.

"I guess I'm more similar to Will than I thought", he added.
