Noah Schnapp Reportedly Came Out to Millie Bobby Brown in Party City

Well there are certainly stranger moments to come out. In a new wide-ranging interview with Variety, Noah Schnapp reveals that he actually came out to his "Stranger Things" co-star while he was at Party City.

Before officially publicly coming out, Schnapp reportedly made a list on his iPhone Notes app of all the people that he needed to come out to.

"I kept trying to do it in person with her, and it was too hard," Schnapp told Variety. "So then I just FaceTimed her one day in the middle of a Party City and I was like, 'Millie, I'm gay.' And she was like" ­– here, he tries to approximate Brown's English accent – "'Oh, Schnapper! You told me finally!'"

Next, Schnapp needed to come out publicly, which he reportedly had been putting off for months, with friends asking him when he was going to do it to see the world's reaction. To which Schnapp frequently replied: No, I'm not ready. I'm not ready. I'm not ready.

Schnapp shared that as nervous as he was about coming out, it was never "that serious."

And so, in not serious fashion, he casually shared a TikTok video on Jan. 5 with the caption, "When I finally told my friends and family I was gay after being scared in the closet for 18 years and all they said was 'we know.'"

The eight-second video promptly went viral with his more than 31 million followers on TikTok.

"I didn't want to sit there waiting nervously to see what people were going to say," says Schnapp. "I just wanted to put it away and be confident in who I am and know that I don't have to care what people think anymore."

And then Schnapp came back to his phone with relief.

"When I opened my phone at the end of the car ride, it was, like, a thousand texts of hearts and congratulations and rainbow flags," he said. "I was crying. I was like, 'I made it. I'm done. I don't have to worry.'"

You've absolutely made it indeed, Schnapp. Read the complete Variety interview.
