Noah Schnapp is using his time away from the Stranger Things set to experience the less glitzy side of teenage life, like working a summer job.

The 17-year-old actor, who plays Will Byers on the smash Netflix series, told Flaunt Magazine in an interview published last week that hes been working part-time as a lifeguard at a local swimming pool. He doesnt reveal the precise location of his splashy side hustle, but nonetheless credited the gig with helping him to stay humble in spite of his global fame.

Its kind of a just for fun thing, he said. Ive kind of grown up with a normal life and normal friends and stuff outside of Stranger Things, so its kind of kept me grounded.

A New York City native, Schnapp graduated from high school this year. In a TikTok video last December, he revealed that hed been accepted into the University of Pennsylvania, where he plans to study business.
