In this ocasion, Noah used social networks to talk about his sexuality at the beginning of the year. In a video posted on TikTok, the artist even joked about it:

“When I finally told my friends and family I’m gay after being scared in the closet for 18 years and all they said was ‘we know,’” he wrote in the video. “I think I’m more like the will than I thought”, he joked Schnappin the caption of the post.

Fans showed their support for the actor, but also joked about the similarities between Noah It is Will Byers. It turns out that since Stranger Things premiered on Netflix, many fans theorize about the character’s sexuality — who, on stage, never spoke openly about the topic. To many, however, it seems obvious that Will Byers is part of the LGBTQ+ community and who, especially after the fourth and most recent season of the plot, has deep feelings for his best friend, Mike Wheeler.
