COOOK 76,406 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 The shot of you crying through the van window has even become a meme. Have you seen that? "Yeah, I’ve seen that picture everywhere." As you alluded to earlier, the implication that people perceive Will as gay is baked into the very first episode of the show. But in past interviews, including one that you did with me for Volume 1 of Season 4, you’ve talked instead about how you saw Will as still figuring out that aspect of his identity. Did it feel like it was a spoiler to say outright, “Yes, Will is wrestling with being gay and coming out”? "Yeah, I think it is. Obviously, it was hinted at in Season 1: It was always kind of there, but you never really knew, is it just him growing up slower than his friends? Now that he’s gotten older, they made it a very real, obvious thing. Now it’s 100% clear that he is gay and he does love Mike. But before, it was a slow arc. I think it is done so beautifully, because it’s so easy to make a character just like all of a sudden be gay. People have come up to me — I was just in Paris and this, like, 40-year-old man came up to me and he was like, “Wow, this Will character made me feel so good. And I related to it so much. That is exactly who I was when I was a kid.” That just made me so happy to hear. They are writing this real character and this real journey and real struggle and they’re doing it so well." You recently caused a bit of a stir when you posted your DMs with Doja Cat about your co-star. I saw your TikTok from yesterday where you said in the comments that you apologized to Doja Cat and that there’s no hard feelings. Is there anything more you want to say about that? "Yeah, I mean, look, I’m super unserious on social media and pretty goofy, so I posted that not thinking too much of it, but obviously it hurt her feelings. So, as I should, I apologized and she was totally okay with it, and was like, “I’m sorry how I reacted.” It was all good. I love her. I’m like the biggest fan of her music, and I told her that. I was like, you’re literally my role model. It’s all good. People make such a big deal out of everything when it’s on the internet, but, like, in reality, it’s like a two minute thing."

butthole 10,222 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I can't wait for all the FORCED DIVERSITY 🤬 members here to read this and poop their pants. lol But yeah, this is lovely and all; I just have to wonder... What do the Duffer brothers think of him talking about this so much? I'm assuming it's not a Marvel and Tom Holland situation because Noah has mentioned this explicitly a few times on social media. Maybe it's intentional, like a soft launch/rollout of Will's coming out. With the time skip that's supposed to come with season 5, I bet they'll be introducing a romantic plotline for him and that could give more weight to him being the centerpiece of the season. Idk... It's 4am and I'm just rambling at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo 7,624 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 This was handled horribly on the show, sorry not sorry. If the actor has to confirm it after the fact, the writers did a bad job. Don't visit my profile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the actor has to confirm it after the fact, the writers did a bad job. People already know. He is just making it clear. Besides, the setting is in the 80s, you cannot just come out back then, it is on point.

Dr Fudge 8,625 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 It’s the 1980s in rural Indiana with no out gay friends during the [unmentioned] AIDS epidemic. Of course 15/16 year old Will isn’t coming out that easy. Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
