Finn Wolfhard, who stars in the popular Netflix series “Stranger Things” alongside Noah Schnapp, recently expressed his support for Schnapp’s coming out as gay in a recent interview with GQ magazine. Wolfhard said he was proud of Schnapp for being open about his sexual orientation and that it was important for people to be true to themselves.
The two actors have been with “Stranger Things” since the beginning and will soon be reuniting with the rest of the cast to film the fifth and final season of the show. Wolfhard spoke about the close-knit dynamic of the cast and how they are like family to each other. He also shared that the biggest texter among the cast is none other than Winona Ryder and that she is funny and insightful.
Schnapp came out as gay in a TikTok video posted on January 5th, where he shared that he had been scared in the closet for 18 years but that his friends and family were supportive. In the video, Schnapp said that he realized he was more similar to his character Will Byers, who is a closeted gay teenager in the show than he thought.
In conclusion, Wolfhard’s support for Schnapp’s coming out is a sign of increased acceptance and support for the LGBTQ+ community in society. The two actors have been a part of the successful “Stranger Things” franchise for years and it’s great to see that their bond extends beyond the screen.
