'Stranger Things' Noah Schnapp Described Hugging Justin Bieber as Highlight of Elton John Aids Foundation Oscar Party

Since landing a starring role in "Stranger Things," Noah Schnapp has gained millions of followers on social media. The actor has not been shy about sharing parts of his life with his fans, including his fanboy moment after meeting Justin Bieber and coming out as gay.

On March 12, Schnapp rubbed shoulders with Hollywood's elite at Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party. He opted for a subtly striped black tuxedo from Fendi paired with a pattered white shirt and a bowtie.

"Hugging Justin Bieber was the highlight of my night," he captioned his post after he took to Instagram to document his evening.

Schnapp and other guests spent the night at the screening party mingling. The cast of "Queer Eye" and Heidi Klum gave a speech about the cause behind the event— combating AIDS— before dinner and drinks were served.

After the refreshments, the auction commenced. The bar transformed into a disco, and as the stars who attended the Academy Awards arrived for the festivities, the night ended with a live performance from Japanese pop singer Rina Sawayama.

When the star-studded guest list made their way home in the wee hours of the morning, Elton John's AIDS Foundation had raised over $9 million for the cause.

Schnapp's post about his night at Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party received over a million likes at the time of writing. However, that pales in comparison to the thirteen million likes his TikTok video garnered when he came out as gay.

Schnapp announced his sexuality in February in a video with the caption, "When I finally told my friends and family I was gay after being scared in the closet for 18 years, and all they said was 'we know.'"

He made light of the situation by pairing it with the viral audio clip, "You know what it never was? That serious. It was never that serious. Quite frankly, will never be that serious." His "Stranger Things" co-star David Harbour, who plays Jim Hopper, showed his support for Schnapp when, during an interview, he said:

"I'm always happy for people that are true to themselves and come out. That was terrific."

Finn Wolfard, Schnapp's other co-star, also revealed, "I'm incredibly proud of Noah for coming out publicly like that. I think it was so incredible and brave."

Before landing a role on "Stranger Things," Schnapp had a successful career as an actor, which saw him appear in Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning thriller, "Bridge of Spies." He also featured in the Indie film "We Only Know So Much" and participated in the Sundance Director's Lab.
