As the tale of Upside Down attempts a closure with caution alerts flying to fasten the seatbelts, stranger events have put their bets on the spotlight before the finale. The Stranger Things squad began their adventures in Hawkins a decade ago, and if fighting the demo-gorgons did much besides keeping them alive, it is for having found a home away from home with the friends who have become a family. However, a real-life plot twist struck when Millie Bobby Brown faced criticism over her unfounded remarks on the LGBTQ+ community directed at Noah Schnapp.

In an even stranger curveball, Brown and Schnapp were caught in a laughter roll on the set, turning the table on the haters.

Stranger Things has given sci-fi geeks a decade-long journey into the spine-chilling unknown, but it has summoned just the opposite of estrangement. Although Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp do not share as much screen time, they are quite the BFFs in reality. But just days after the online storm brewed over made-up comments targeting Brown, following the ‘LGBBQ’ controversy, the two were caught on the set, flexing their funny bones.

Stranger Things Spoilers on X recently treated fans to some exclusive snaps of Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp on t. Schnapp was donning a light-orangish hoodie underneath a sleeveless color block jacket, paired with denims. Meanwhile, Brown sported a comfy fit in a black tank top, and blue sweatpants with a jacket tied from the waist. While Stranger Things secrets may have stolen the show, Brown and Schnapp’s side-splitting laughter steals the spotlight, leaving trollers in the shadow.

What is the LGBBQ controversy surrounding Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp?

Millie Bobby Brown may have begun early in the spotlight, but that only made her more prone to online trolls. At only 14, she was a victim of a bizarre meme trend that falsely depicted her as a homophobe, reportedly leading to the deletion of her X handle. While the memes often find ways to resurface, this year was no exception. However, this time, a parody account, Drop Pop, posted a new fake quote, claiming Brown called Noah Schnapp an “LGBBQ” and joked about setting him on fire.

As it turned out to be, the story was completely made up with no grounds of backup to substantiate those claims. Yet, the truth claim did not slow down on the meme going viral, conjuring millions of views. Although this spread of false information had many skeptics, some believed it purely because of their unawareness of the online troll culture. However, neither actor ever engaged in such conversations, and their unbridled laughter on the Stranger Things set is a stamp of approval.
