‘Stranger Things’ star Noah Schnapp dives into the deep end for new side hustle

Before diving into college life, “Stranger Things” star Noah Schnapp has landed a summer job by the pool. In a new interview with Flaunt Magazine, the actor revealed he’s working as a lifeguard.

“I’ve kind of grown up with a normal life and normal friends and stuff outside of ‘Stranger Things,’ so it’s kind of kept me grounded,” he said.

For Schnapp, the summer job is a “just for fun thing.”

The 17-year-old will pass his summer days patrolling the pool before he heads to the University of Pennsylvania for business school, he said. Schnapp initially thought of pursuing a degree in acting but found it “kind of repetitive, and I wanted to try something new,” he told Flaunt.

His lifeguarding and upcoming time at college comes months after his turn as Will Byers on the buzzy fourth season of Netflix’s “Stranger Things.” In July, Schnapp confirmed his character’s sexual orientation.

The singer then called out Schnapp for revealing the DMs, calling it a “borderline snake” move. On July 14, Schnapp took the blame and said he apologized to Doja Cat.
