Is noah scnapp gay

They just brought this childlike energy that reminded us that we were still kids too. The cast was so gracious.

You know that it’s coming. However, it’s not until Season 5, Episode 7, “The Bridge,” when Will finally admits to his friends— “I don’t like girls.”

The emotional monologue rounding out the series’ penultimate episode is a powerful, touching and poignant delivery on Will’s highly anticipated coming out.

They were supporting me on all these angles where they weren’t even caught on camera. I’m ready to go and I just want to do it.” And then it was like one of the first takes of the day, and that was most of the meat of the scene. The performance is further accented by Schapp’s real-world relationship to the topic, having publicly come out as gay in 2023.

Variety spoke with Schnapp to unpack the distinguished scene, how he shaped it with series creators Matt and Ross Duffer and director Shawn Levy and his feelings about closing the book on his decade-plus role in “Stranger Things.”

At what point did you find out that Will was going to come out in Season 5, Episode 7?

She’s one of my favorite scene partners and people, and it was so nice to be with her for most of this season. He said: "All these new girls were starting to hit on me, and I was like, 'I don’t like this. Noah said: "Being fully aware of it and just completely, blatantly hiding it, it was really hard.

I kind of had to because it was so nerve-racking to know that the entire cast was there watching me. How was collaborating with her? I was like, if he has all this support, then why should I worry about anything?"

He added: "Once I did fully embrace that Will was gay, it was just an exponential speed towards accepting it for myself.

We have to remember that its the 1980s. We’re not kids anymore.” They’re looking to us. I’m done. The coming out monologue is Schnapp’s most emotionally intense and verbose in the series. When Will is first coming to terms with it in front of his friends, he’s probably scared to use that word, but there’s nothing wrong with it.
