Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp has opened up about how Will Byers being gay in the series helped him with his own coming out. In Stranger Things season 4, it's revealed that Will has a crush on Mike Wheeler , despite Mike being in a relationship with Eleven. While Will is heartbroken that he can't tell anyone about how he feels, Jonathan accepts Will for who he is, leading to an emotional moment between the brothers.
Once I did fully embrace that Will was gay, it was just an exponential speed towards accepting it for myself. I would be in a completely different place if I didn’t have Will to portray, and to embrace and help me accept myself. I think if I never played that character, I probably would still be closeted.
