Noah Schnapps is currently topping the list of actors whose onscreen sexuality matches that of their real life. Since the actor became a well-known face in Stranger Things, his teeming fans have been eager about his love life and he has not disappointed. While he has not been forthcoming with details of whether or not he has a girlfriend, he openly declared his sexuality as gay when he came out in 2023.
The actor whose breakthrough role in Stranger Things started off as recurring in the first season became so beloved that he was soon promoted to a major role by the show’s second season in 2017.
What Is Noah Schnapp’s Sexuality?
When Noah was cast in a gay role, not many anticipated that he would fit the description so well in real life. He played the role so excellently that when he came out in 2023, he received massive support from his fans. In the show which premiered in 2016, Noah Schnapp’s character is portrayed as a shy and kind boy who enjoys playing video games like Dungeons and Dragons with his friends.
At first, Noah Schnapp’s sexuality was muted because he was a young and recurring character. But as he grew older and became a major character towards the fourth season of the series, the storyline gradually shifts to reflect his dawn of awareness for his sexuality. He then comes out as gay and declares his feelings for his good friend Mike. Schnapp particularly resonates with the progression of his character Will to the point of awareness and eventually declaration.
Is Noah Schnapp Gay?
To the best of our knowledge especially going by his coming out announcement in January of 2023, Noah Schnapp is definitely gay. He made his coming-out announcement via his TikTok account in a video post where he admitted to having more in common with Will than he thought. His millions of followers quickly caught the reference.
In the video, Noah shared his relief at being able to share the news of his sexual orientation with his family members and friends after 18 years of being in the closet. To his surprise, they already knew and were waiting for him to speak up. He went on to allude to the fact that coming out was never that serious and will not be a serious issue.
Schnapp’s revelation generated a massive show of love, support, and positive responses. The video quickly went viral with 14 million likes and thousands of comments. His fans praised his bravery and called him a positive example to other young people.
Who Is Noah Schnapp Dating?
Noah Schnapp is not seeing anyone romantically in real life just yet. His character Will might have declared his feelings for his good friend Mike, but in real life, Schnapp is taking his sweet time in declaring his hand. He is not dating anyone just yet or at least, he has not gone public with it. Even more interestingly, he is not known to have dated anyone in the past.
His limited dating history is not such a big surprise since he is still young and is just recently become a star. He seems more vested in building his career rather than a relationship. This notwithstanding, the rumor mill went agog in March 2023 after Schnapp shared a photo of himself and Tyler Levin relaxing on a boat while holidaying together on Catalina Island Dominican Republic.
The post received more than three million likes in a few hours and the comment section was on fire. Many people jumped to the conclusion that Schnapp and Levin must be dating while some pointed out that the fact that someone is gay does not mean he can’t be friends with fellow guys. The actor did not respond to the speculations.
Are Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp Dating?
Schnapp and his Stranger Things co-star may have become very close friends since they started on the project, but they are definitely not dating. The reason is not far-fetched either. Noah Schnapp is gay while Millie Bobby Brown is straight.
While Schnapp played the role of Will Byers, Millie Bobby Brown played little Eleven, a girl with supernatural abilities. She would later be adopted by the town’s chief of police to become best of friends with Will. They were both cast in these roles while they were very young, so it figures that they grew together and soon became friends in real life. They also regularly walk the red carpet together.
