Noah Schnapp is quite popular for his role as Will Byers in Netflix’s Stranger Things. The young actor has made quite a name for himself as he worked on quite some popular acting projects and embodied himself with a character that would become synonymous with his name. While one would think that Schnapp is only famous for his acting skills is seriously mistaken as controversy surrounding him.
A new controversy surrounds Noah Schnapp as critics of social media have deemed it fit to include him in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 List. People are furious with his presence on the list as he recently faced massive backlash on social media for his comments related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Social media users have called out the actor to be removed from the list, as his presence makes the list question its authenticity.

Controversy Surrounds Noah Schnapp’s Latest Achievement
Recently, Noah Schnapp successfully made it to Forbes’ list of 30 under 30: spotlighting the next generation of talent, and he was questioned for his presence alongside actors like Jenna Ortega, Molly Gordon, Andrew Feldman, and many more. His achievement is believed to be ironical and laughable among the people as they believe it is quite hypocritical of the judges to include an actor who is famous only for controversies.
His inclusion was questioned from the very first moment as he went viral earlier this year, where he was seen laughing alongside his friends in a restaurant, as they were handing out stickers saying “Zionism is s*xy,” his social media accounts since 11th October 2023. But more importantly, his presence is questioned by the public, as the 19-year-old actor does not have any other upcoming project besides Stranger Things.
Next generation of what??

The inclusion of the actor has made people question the authenticity of the organization, as he made it over his cast members who are far more talented than him, and who have projects lined up. But more importantly, his co-stars are not surrounded by controversies that make people hate them.
Noah Schnapp’s Comments on The Israel-Palestine Conflict
Although the Waiting for Anya actor is making headlines in the news for his performance in the Netflix Original show, Stranger Things, the young actor has found himself in tricky waters as he commented on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Being an American Jew, the star has shown his support for the country of Israel in his recent post.

Not only the general public but also his fans criticized the actor for showcasing support for Israel because he overlooked the merciless counterattacks that the country has performed against Hamas, leading to countless innocent deaths in Gaza. His Instagram post criticizes people supporting Palestine and calling the country of Israel the primary reason for the conflict, escalating the situation to such proportions.
Moreover, the actor was recently seen with his friends waving stickers around that said, “Zionism is s*xy” as well as calling Hamas another ISIS, which might be a catastrophic move for his acting career, as many stars have lost their jobs for stating their views on the controversial topic.
Stranger Things can be streamed on Netflix.
