Noah plays Will Byers on the popular Netflix show Stranger Things.
He announced his homosexuality via a TikTok video.
In the video posted, he wrote, "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."
Referring to his character Will Byers of ST, he wrote, "I guess I'm more similar to Will than I thought."
Noah was lip-syncing to an audio clip saying, "You know what it never was? "That's serious. It was never that serious. Quite frankly, it will never be that serious."
Noah fans reacted to this news gracefully and are congratulating him for the courage he gathered to open up about his sexual identity.
In July last year, Noah also addressed Will's sexual orientation, in an interview with Variety.
He confirmed that Will has romantic feelings towards best friend Mike.
Apart from Stranger Things, Noah Schnapp also featured in a couple of films including Bridge of Spies.
