Finn Wolfhard, the beloved star of Stranger Things, has sent fans into a frenzy with the release of his new album, Fire From The Hip. Rumors are swirling that the actor and musician may have used his latest work to subtly come out as bisexual. This isn't the first time celebrity sexuality has been the subject of fan theories, but Wolfhard's followers think they've found some compelling evidence.
The track "Oscilloscope" from his new album is at the center of the speculation. Fans are pointing to lyrics referencing "a pretty guy" and "a pretty girl" as a possible nod to bisexuality. In an interview with Far Out Magazine, Wolfhard mentioned the track, saying, "There’s one track called ‘Oscilloscope’. I would have never have done that on the first album." While he was speaking about the song's production, fans took to social media, convinced they've decoded a hidden message.
“So Finn came out as bi with this song basically. I’m so f****** proud of him,” one fan shared enthusiastically.
While many are celebrating what they believe to be Wolfhard's coming out moment, others are urging caution. Some fans feel that dissecting lyrics for clues about his private life is both disrespectful and invasive. "Honestly it’s gotta suck for Finn because he’s just trying to share his music with us," one fan lamented, highlighting the frustration over the focus shifting from his music to his presumed sexuality.
Despite the buzz, Wolfhard has not publicly commented on his sexuality, leaving fans to continue speculating. Meanwhile, his co-star Noah Schnapp has confirmed his own sexuality, adding another layer of interest to the Stranger Things fandom.
Finn Wolfhard’s album Fire From The Hip is available now, and whether you're listening for the music or the tea, it's worth a spin.
