The start of 2023 was a huge shocker for Stranger Things fans. Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers, opened up about his sexuality to the audience. The actor shared a video on his TikTok account as he revealed the news to almost 31 million of his followers. After contemplating the announcement for months, Schnapp finally came out on 5th January. And recently, the actor opened up about how his best friend, Millie Bobby Brown, reacted to the news. 

Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp are perhaps one of the most iconic duos in Hollywood. Apart from being co-stars on-screen, the duo has been best friends for nearly seven years now. Undoubtedly, both the actors share an incredibly strong bond, and the Enola Holmes star was one of the people who the actor first opened up to. 

Millie Bobby Brown had a hilarious reaction to Noah Schnapp’s confession

A while ago, Schnapp sat down for an interview with Variety, wherein he talked about breaking off the news to those close to him. The actor admitted that he first opened up to his sister Chloe. Following that, Schnapp decided that he would make a list of people he would reveal it to on his notes app and Brown was one of them. However, he was really nervous before breaking the news to her in person. Interestingly, Schnapp’s nervousness got the worst of him, and the actor revealed the news to the actress over Facetime. 

The Abe fame revealed, “I kept trying to do it in person with her, and it was too hard.” To keep it simple, Schnapp’s Facetime-ed the actress while she was in the middle of a Party City. However, while the actor was incredibly nervous, Brown, on the other hand, had a very normal reaction as she spoke, “Oh, Schnapper! You told me finally!” 

Brown’s reaction and Schnapp’s decision to come out to her are a testament to their strong bond. Their dynamic in their show, however, is slightly different with spotlight always slightly tilted toward Eleven.

That, however, might change in the series’ final season.

The season finale of Stranger Things to steal spotlight from Eleven?

Throughout its entire run, we witnessed how Stranger Things’ story line mostly focused on Brown’s character Eleven. Eleven was undoubtedly one of the most important characters in the show. However, in season 5, the audience might be witnessing a shift of attention from Eleven to none other than Schnapp’s Will Byers.

It seems like the Duffer Brothers will be taking a huge risk in the season finale and will shift the focus to Will Byers. Apparently, the entire storyline will circle around the life of Byers. Moreover, the creators revealed how they feel his emotional arc will help them connect the whole series together.
