'Stranger Things' star Noah Schnapp has come out as gay.

The 18-year-old made the announcement Thursday on TikTok with a video of himself and text that reads, "When I finally told my friends and family I was gay after I scared in the closet for 18 years and all they said was 'we know.'"

Interestingly, he also included the caption: "Guess I look more like Will than I thought."

Schnapp plays Will Byers on 'Stranger Things' and fan speculation over the years has been that the character is gay, as it's clear he has a thing for Mike Wheeler on the show... it seems so that Schnapp also confirms the fan theory.

Schnapp and his "Stranger Things" co-star Millie Bobby Brown are very close: they date all the time and have appeared on late-night talk shows together over the years.

As we reported, Schnapp recently started his freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania, where he caused a stir. We even got a video of him.
