Netflix undoubtedly boasts all its flagship shows with a full chest. Leading fan-favorite franchise, Stranger Things dominated the streamer for years. Meanwhile, the newfound fame, Heartstopper, evidently amassed a horde of diverse fans. Speaking of diversity, the liberal American culture has had a tremendous impact on the entertainment industry at its zenith. OTT shows have been the flag bearers of such divergence, bringing in the queer stars and their versatility. Noah Schnapp from Stranger Things, being the cheerleader, has literally made our hearts stop with his latest wish.

Taking to Instagram, Will Byers of Stranger Things has created a stir by showing curiosity about another heartthrob amongst homosexual fans, Nick Nelson. As cheerful and softhearted as our own Byers, a character like Nicholas Nelson portrayed by Kit Connor has become a new interest for Schnapp. 

The 18-year-old is currently achieving fame for recently coming out of the cupboard in a now-viral TikTok. In the tweet, as also shared on his Instagram handle, Schnapp surprised the fans yet again by asking, “Where do I find a Nick Nelson?” on the internet. Fans inevitably went bonkers over the star, teasing his character with another similar Netflix role. A fan thus intrigued, also asked if he considers himself Charlie Spring, cause why not?

For those unversed, the second series of Heartstopper that dropped on the 3rd of August, 2023 emerged as one of the best LGBTQA+ show on the American streamer. With its “nasty storyline,” the impeccable portrayal of sexual discovery has Nick Nelson portrayed by Kit Connor and his sizzling romance, self-proclaimed “gay nerd” Charlie Spring. 

As religious fans already know, Noah Schnapp portrayed the disturbed, prime victim of Vecna who battles throughout, preventing himself from falling for one of his best buddies, Mike Wheeler. Later, as was confirmed, the character is now fully described as homosexual, rightfully aligning with Schnapp’s real-life character. The star, in a recent interview, even confessed if it were not for the Netflix show, he would have been forever “closeted.” Thus, the 18-year-old’s recent tease has intrigued the fans starving of queer content.
