Noah Schnapp Takes His Shot With Zendaya During His Acceptance Speech

In Stranger Things, Will Byers went from scared and alone in the Upside Down to scary, possessed, and coughing up slugs back in Hawkins. Yet that personality whiplash really paid off for actor Noah Schnapp, who scored the award for Most Frightened Efficiency at the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards on Monday night.

The 14-year-old star bested terrified performances from Talitha Bateman (Annabelle: Creation), Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place), Cristin Milioti (Black Mirror), and his buddy Finn Wolfhard's friend from Derry, Sophia Lillis (IT), to take house the coveted Golden Popcorn.

Upon accepting the award, a genuinely shocked Schnapp began with a suave, "Hi, Zendaya."

He then thanked his family member and his Stranger Things castmates, along with because the Duffer Brothers for creating the show and giving him the chance to portray Will. "Playing Will in Season 2 has been one of the most difficult and thrilling experiences in my life," Schnapp said

But the Stranger Things star expressed most of them of his gratitude toward the fans — the ones who have made the retro Netflix drama a world phenomenon since its premiere in 2016. "I hope I continue to encourage you almost every day to not give up and follow your dreams because this right here's proof that anything is possible," he mentioned.
