Noah Schnapp has become a household name thanks to his role as Will Byers in Netflix’s Stranger Things. The child actor spent his formative years in front of his audience and is now looking to make his mark with other projects as Stranger Things comes to an end. In the latest news about the actor, Noah Schnapp appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen to share his thoughts on the series’ final episodes as it draws to a close. When asked about the fans who wish to see his character Will end up with his best friend Mike in a romantic way, Schnapp gave an honest response.“I mean, look, it’s like a real authentic representation of a queer kid in the 80s. I’ve dealt with that myself, like being in love with my best friend, and maybe they don’t love you back or they feel differently. I’m not gonna spoil anything but I think the Duffers close it really well.”This is significant because Noah Schnapp, who is also gay, likely went through some of the same hardships his character did on the show in his real life. Once the clip began circulating online, people took to social media to share their thoughts on Schnapp’s candid response. One X user commented,“That honesty is powerful. > It’s rare to see that kind of quiet, real representation handled with care. Really respect how he put it”Another X user added,“Unrequited love, silence, and growing up feeling unseen, that’s not fantasy. That’s reality for a lot of queer kids. And that’s why it stays with you.”One user claimed,"There’s genuinely no way @Stranger_Things can “close it really well” if, after 5 seasons of a queer kid/teen learning who he is as the MAIN character of the tv series, is shot down by the love of his life and just… moves on? Wants to continue being friends? Make it make sense."Another X user went on to say,"He’s trying to let the shippers down gently. Saying 'maybe they don’t love you back' and calling it an 'authentic 80s experience' is code for: Mike stays with El, but Will finally gets closure and moves on. It’s bittersweet, but probably the most realistic ending."Noah Schnapp’s Will Byers in new Stranger Things season five, Vol. 2 trailerWith the second volume of the final season nearing its release date, a trailer was recently dropped to give the audience a glimpse of what’s to come in the final episodes. In it, Noah Schnapp’s character can be heard saying,“We failed. We never stood a chance.”This excerpt clearly speaks to the stakes of the upcoming instalments, and it seems as though Schnapp’s character will have more agency in the final episodes than he did at any point prior in the series’ run.
