Schnapp’s “Stranger Things” character, Will Byers, is a central figure in the hit Netflix show, and in the most recent fourth season, he professes his love for his friend Mike (played by Finn Wolfhard).

Last July, Schnapp told Variety that “it’s 100% clear that [Will] is gay” and his character had been struggling with his feelings throughout the show (a feeling most viewers had picked up on).

Comments on Schnapp’s TikTok on Thursday included many messages of love and support.
