Noah Schnapp came out as gay on TikTok on Thursday.
The American actor, revealed by the series
Stranger Things
, of which he plays one of the main heroes, posted a video where he makes a playback on a declaration of the tiktokeuse@princessazula which has become a meme.
Namely: “You know what it never was?
Very important.
It was never a big deal - and, honestly, it never will be a big deal.
Never.
(“You know what it never was? That serious. It was never that serious – and, quite frankly, will never be that serious. Never.”)
In recent days, many users of the social network have taken up these remarks on their own to evoke personal misadventures (a romantic break-up, an anxiety attack, etc.) and put them into perspective or, on the contrary, as an antiphrase in order to signify that, on the contrary, what happened to them was “important”.
