The hacker posted a series of bizarre and inappropriate messages through his twitter account

Netflix's "Stranger Things' star Noah Schnapp who star as Will Byers in the hit series got his twitter account hacked.

On Saturday afternoon, through his twitter account the hacker posted a series of bizarre and inappropriate messages, reported by Variety.

The first suspicious tweet was sent with the message "Suicidal thoughts.." Some fans were alarmed at the tweet, but others quickly realized that this account was not under the actor's control.

Using Schnapp's account, the hacker or hackers tweeted messages tagging a few other Twitter accounts who may have been involved.

"just beat the f— out of @noah_schnapp and stole his phone #JOBS," read one message that Schnapp retweeted.

After about 30 minutes, many of the tweets from Schnapp's account had been deleted, including one message that had the N-word and others with sexual comments.

Schnapp, who has 12.5 million followers on TikTok, was coincidentally hacked one day after Addison Rae's TikTok account was hacked. Rae, who is the second-most followed person on the video app, had her account taken over, temporarily disabled and finally restored a few hours later.
