Finn Wolfhard is showing his support for his “Stranger Things” co-star Noah Schnapp after he came out as gay last month.
“I had a big smile on my face when I saw it,” the 20-year-old told GQ in a new interview published Wednesday. “I was really proud of him.”
Wolfhard, who plays Mike Wheeler on the popular Netflix series, said he and the rest of the cast work like a family.
“We’re by no means into the sounds of everyday text, and not because… that’s the way it is,” he explained. “Do you text your cousins every day? Probably not. They’re our family. We’ll talk on each other’s birthdays. We’ll talk once.
“But that’s the way family works, if I ever need anything, they’re there,” he said.
Wolfhard’s comments come nearly a month after Schnapp, 18, shared a TikTok video about her sexuality to her more than 32 million followers.
The 20-year-old said that he and his co-stars are like a family.
