Over the four seasons of
Stranger Things

“It's a slow arc.
I think it's well done, because it's so easy to make a character suddenly become gay "
, had justified Noah Schnapp assuring that it was a challenge for him to play a gay character. “
It was fun to be able to put yourself in his shoes.
Because I really have to take into account his difficulty in coming out
