The 20-year-old actor was propelled into the spotlight when he was just 11-years-old thanks to his breakout role in the smash hit Netflix series Stranger Things. Two years ago, the American star came out as gay - and he now says that this has allowed him to perform more authentically on screen. Opening up to Variety, the Will Byers actor said, "It's been amazing, it's such a better experience being able to walk onto that set and know that I'm finally living truthfully. It made this season a million times better to not be hiding."
